confirmed reports state Sting has signed a 1 year contract.. he will debuting the 1st raw show in may..No word on what stings contract entails.. how many dates he supposedWork? PPV? or who he wrestles first ?
It will definitely be a part time deal for big money. Wonder if he will actually wrestle or be an ambassador like Hogan.
Sting sucks.
I've always viewed him as very overrated.
Source?
Hes had great matches with flair...cactus jack...and vader.
I just mean that overall he's no Bret Hart in the ring and he's not Ric Flair on the mic. A solid performer with a great gimmick though.
He's 55 years old, right? It's a good thing his gimmick allows him to wear face paint because he must look old as fuck these days.
Hes made his mark in the business and has become very successful earning 1mil per year since 1996 and 500 g's per year prior to that which by pro wrestling standards is very good. Hes always been squeaky clean. Never read or heard anything bad about him and he did it all OUTSIDE WWE. You can bet your bottom dollar that when/if Vince signed him (I'll believe it when I see it) you can bet its for big bucks. Strictly an ego move by Vince to sign the one guy who flat out refused to work for him and turned down may a offer in the past from WWE.
I recall Borden bluntly claiming in an interview his concerns over how Vince would use him. This was when the old man was systematically burying a lot of the WCW talent after he purchased the company around 2002.
I remember this too. Frankly...I don't blame Sting. I would hold Vince up if I were him.
And it sounds like the guy's got nothing to lose.
I honestly don't see the point. How does he fit in?
