WrestleMania 30= Total Bust!!!

[Journalist]

UW and the "other" Sting teamed together in WCW in the late 90's or early 2000's.

That was actually the real Sting (Steve Borden) ... I remembered when the Blade Runners came to Mid-South as part of Hot Stuff International.

Also, the irony in all of this is that Sting FINALLY signed a deal with WWE recently and hinted at Wrestlemania 31 in the Levi's Stadium (49ers new stadium in Santa Clara).

But, no wife deserves or should have to go through what Warrior's wife went through yesterday. It's one thing to lose a spouse and father of your children, but to be there and be helpless, man.

Yep... if Ted hadn't overpaid those WWE stars and let Eric Bischoff run WCW they'd still be around. Yeah he lucked up and hit it with the NWO but they even ran that into the ground.

Almost did TNA the same way

When Turner was bought by AOL/Time Warner, that killed WCW too. They didn't like "rasslin'" to begin with, and they especially didn't like the money that was poured into WCW also ... despite the fact WCW was still the highest-rated programming they had at the time.

Also, TNA is slowly regaining momentum they lost in 2008. Rosterwise, they're deeper than WWE ... even after losing AJ Styles (which would've been like Sting leaving WCW) ... they miscalculated trying to go against WWE on Monday nights and it hurt their bottom line domestically.

:topic: It's funny WWE has recently begun pushing younger talent they developed out of NXT (their farm league and Triple H's baby) and Ring of Honor alumni (CM Punk, Cesaro/Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Bryan/"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Seth Rollins of The Shield/Tyler Black). Punk, Bryan and Rollins all were ROH champions ... just like Samoa Joe and Austin Aries of TNA were ... up next from Ring of Honor is probably current champion Adam Cole or the Briscoe Brothers (hood arse country white boys) ...

I know it's the real Sting but as long as I'm on here, he's the other Sting

I've been waiting on TNA to get it together since 2010 really :lol:. The Kim/Kong rivalry was what actually got me into TNA (that and seeing one year about AJ Styles being the #1 rated wrestler in the world). They lost their identity by ditching the octagon because of Hogan and slipped up on not leaving the X Division be as well as dropping the ball on the Tag Team and Knockouts divisions :lol:. Seems like TNA is trying to ride the ship by getting Dixie off TV and putting the strap on Magnus.


I just want to see how they do with this Daniel Bryan run after he pretty much forced them to give him a push because of the WWE Universe :lol: As far as CM Punk is concerned yeah he came a long way. He had momentum after the 2011 "pipe bomb" but after a while they dropped the ball with him. I would have left as well letting part time wrestlers all get bigger pushes than him (I know about the numbers/cross over appeal but still it's just bad business as far as the locker room is concerned)

Magnus has come a long way from when he first came to TNA. But credit TNA for putting him with veterans like Douglas Williams and Samoa Joe to help him progress.
WWE had no choice but to push Bryan or risk fan revolt. If CM Punk would not have walked out, Bryan would've been stuck in the mid-card and Punk would have taken on Triple H.

Yup, TNA hurt themselves by going away from the 6-sided ring and de-emphasizing tag teams and the X-Division, which for the majority of their existence been their calling cards and what separated them from WWE. I'm kind of interested in seeing this New Japan/Ring of Honor stuff coming up next month.

I look at rasslin like I look at the NFL and other leagues ... As businesses with transactions.
