You're not seriously comparing Sting to Taker are you? Taker has a legacy in the company that's lasted over a quarter century. Sting is not at a point where he can build such a legacy in WWE. He's gotta live off what people remember. I'm guessing a 9 year old doesn't remember Sting's WCW run.

My point is that age doesn't factor in kids like who they like.

For myself I discovered I liked Piper as a kid I knew nothing of his previous work before showed up to challenge Hollywood hogan and by then Piper was no where near the worker he was.

You really think kids have to have an extensive knowledge of a wrestlers body of work in order to like them?

No I just don't think a kid would look at Sting and get behind him, because just about everyone on the roster moves better than him. If they wanted to cheer for a face painter, they would cheer for Balor.

People who were fans of Sting want to see him win because of his legacy, but when you factor in his age and how little he will work, I don't see who on the roster you put him against that would have a big match feel and be willing to put him over. Maybe a guy like Jericho as a one off, but putting him over multiple guys makes no sense to me.

You don't have to have him go over multiple guys. He should have had won against HHH to build him then have him put over younger talent. Sting could have great programs with guys like Stardust, Wyatt, and Cesaro to put them over. A kid takes one look at Sting and thinks he is cool, their not going to notice his speed. For you to say kids wont get behind Sting is just dumb.Its sad when TNA books Sting better on his way out than WWE has so far.

lol oh stuff it. Does Hunter really need it? He's the frigging COO of the company. Come on. Sting with a BIG win over HHH could put over a big talent. If Sting had beaten HHH and lost to Rollins, the win has about a bajillion times more meaning, as opposed to a win in a filler ppv nobody will remember.

Use your head CyNick.

I honestly dont understand why this is an issue.

They had a larger story they were telling that was more important than Sting. That was HHH being the over achieving father figure to Rollins, who sets the bar really high. If you notice, Seth was starting to pass all the "tests". Then when he failed against Roman, you would have had HHH rip into Seth, and Seth would have stood up to HHH to prove he's the man. You cant play out that story if HHH loses to a 50 year old man who has no history in the company.

Its about damn time. The money is not in Sting/HHH if your just going to have Sting job. There is more money in jobbing Sting to Taker, Cena, or even Wyatt. HHH could have jobbed to Sting then had Rollins beat Sting to start that tension between the 2. The point is Vince has left money off the table with Sting and you can't deny that. I don't know if he does it on purpose or he has just lost touch but he has a trend of burying WCW guys. Before you spout off about WM20 think about when Eddie, Benoit, Jericho, and Big Show all jumped ship to WWF.

Having HHH lose to Sting hurts Hunter's credibility. Who do you think will work more matches in future Manias, Sting or Hunter?
