Getting Noticed By Management
I really hate to be pessimistic here, but I think the way this match went was all Vince McMahon. I thought the match was highly entertaining. Sting and Triple H did far a better a job than anyone could've expected. And even though the NWO coming out to help Sting made little sense (a group of WCW guys coming out like Flair, DDP, Booker T, and or Goldberg would've made far more sense), it was still absolutely fun to watch unfold. We finally got our NWO vs. DX moment.
But to me it definitely had the wrong ending. I was always a WWE guy, and always have been, but even I'm tired of this point of Vince shitting on WCW like he has for the last 15 years. And Sting losing was another example of that. Why in the world would you bring in an all-time legend for his first WWE match ever, to have him lose? I'm sorry, I can't find any other explanation for it other than to bury Sting, and WCW at the same time. Vince's comments at the shareholders meeting this morning talking about how he and WWE brought Sting back from irrelevancy only proves that point.
If Sting never wrestles again, it will be an absolute crappy way to end Sting's career, and only solidifies Sting's fears about coming onboard. If Sting had come in to face Bray Wyatt, or Seth Rollins, or even Brock Lesnar, and lost, that would not be a case of burying him. That would be a case of a veteran on his last legs putting over a younger guy, which is perfectly fine. Wyatt, Rollins, and even Lesnar had nothing to do with the Monday Night Wars, so it would be fine. Sting losing to Triple H, and the NWO basically losing to D-X, was another way for Vince to bury WCW. Heck, listen to the commentary from the match. Michael Cole and JBL were just burying Sting and WCW throughout the whole match, it was sickening to listen to. Jerry Lawler was the only voice of reason, trying to build both guys up, like a commentator is supposed to. It's obvious that Vince was feeding JBL and Cole's lines to them.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it as anything other than a burial of Sting and WCW. Especially if Sting does nothing from here on out. Luckily, Sting's promo tonight alluded to the idea that he's not done, and hopefully WWE can right the wrongs of last night and give Sting some credible wins and not continue to bury him.
If WWE is planning on building to Taker/Sting next year, the match can still happen, but the build-up definitely hurts with Sting losing his first WWE match. It makes no sense.
Triple H and Sting and the members of D-X and the NWO did a great job of entertaining the crowd and creating a much better match than anyone could've expected. Kudos to them. Great match, great spectacle. Wrong and shameful ending.
