Seriously, can't these four people just want to fight each other?

Should have been Sting vs Rollins at mania, Orton vs HHH. Have the old guy put over the new guy, Piss break during Orton vs HHH, Orton finally gets a singles win over HHH.

The way WWE told the HHH v Sting story was this was the Monday Night Wars revisited and come back to life. This was done in part to sell one of the major features of the WWE Network. Which is the #1 priority for WWE through the rest of the decade. Plus Kane isn't on the same level as HHH star power wise. Kane v Sting would have come off as far less of a high profile match. Would have been a good Survivor Series match, not a featured fight at Mania. Back to the Monday Night Wars. Anytime you do something that pits the WWE brand vs the WCW brand, the WWE brand should always win. WWE should never be in the business of making those 3 letters inferior to any other brand. No matter who currenyly owns the other brands. It's just poor brand management to create a story where WCW rises from the ashes and beats WWE. The angle also set up this current Sting storyline which plays into the larger and more important angle of Rollins v HHH. Rollins now has another challenge to face to prove his worth to HHH. Another thing that HHH already did that Rollins has to live up to. He's constantly trying to step out of the shadow that HHH casts as a mentor and a boss. Sting winning would have been a nice moment for Sting, but HHH is the weekly character. Sting is going to have maybe 2-3 more matches in his WWE run. Putting over Sting would have been a mistake because there is no long term gain. Good on WWE to see the bigger picture. |

Also, the feud should not have been about WWE vs WCW. Sting himself said that was stupid |

The storyline that should have been used fir Sting v HHH is up for debate. Point is they went with the Monday Night Wars angle to have a high profile way to promote an important aspect of the Network. Given the storyline idea they came up with, the outcome was the right one. |

But if WCW had Nash and Hall job on their way in because "WCW has to look better than the WWF" then the nWo would have just be a miniscule footnote on the story of WCW. Not the ratings winner.

Was Sting planning to start a 5 year run on the road with WWE or was he there for 1 or 2 shots? Do you now see how your comparison makes no sense?

In the case of Sting vs HHH its a wash, Sting winning made more sense storyline wise since after the match HHH seemed to drift away anyways.
However the is still more money to be made out of HHH than there is to be made out of Sting. Financially it makes sense for HHH to go over. |

Also, Sting vs. Triple H should NEVER have been about WCW vs. WWE. Why the fuck would Sting come to fight for WCW's pride and honor FOURTEEN YEARS after the company has sank? He clearly showed up because he had a problem with the abuse of power The Authority was wielding. At least, that should have been the reason he came back. They also ran the nWo out there who were Sting's mortal enemies. Trust me, I've tried to rationalize this like you have, but it's just too much work and glossing over history to try and sell history. It was bad. Then Triple H came out in a suit later for a promo in the middle of the ring. Great war, dude. |

The money may not be in Sting working every PPV -- but there would be more mystique, more credibility and more excitement behind every performance he didn't lose his first match and then shake hands with the guy he apparently started a war with.

Didn't Sting say he was fighting Triple H because he didn't respect him and thought he was a power-hungry megalomaniac who needed to be stopped (while everyone else ignored his stated reasons and said it was because of WCW vs WWE)
But now he is all respecting Triple H, and pretty much James Steeling him... |

Imagine the heat Triple H/Seth Rollins tension they are trying to build would have if Rollins was trying to beat the guy that beat Triple H? As it stands, Rollins NEEDS to beat a guy that Triple H beat in order to be as good as the guy who stands around in a suit, even though he's meant to be the fucking champion.
They could have had Seth Rollins beat Sting, causing an insecure rift to develop between Triple H and Seth Rollins -- leading to Triple H turning on his prodigy and having clearly defined face/heel lines. As it stands, if Seth loses the World Title to Sting and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon drop him, how does Seth really have any sympathy or credibility? |

I love you CyNick, sorry; but I just refuse to accept Triple H going over was the right choice. And I don't blame Triple H. His NXT guys had the sense to put Jushin Liger over Tyler Breeze. Reports say that it was Sting's wish, but someone needed to tell that dude to shut the fuck up and make some money. Be humble when you're against a young guy in a few months.

Pleasantly surprised, and pleased, to learn that Xavier Woods might be the second best true promo in the company.

Can start calling Cena "Little Johnny" or "John Junior".
"Now Little Johnny, I told you... no title shot until you clean your locker room, mister! Maybe afterwards we can go play some catch, would you like that, sport?" |
