Which 1 will get the bigger crowd reaction: Taker's return or Sting's debut?

[The Ace of Knaves]

Assuming the two men in the 2/21/11 promo are both Sting and Undertaker of course.

I'd like to add 'Supposed the men in 2/21/11 promo are Sting & Undertaker' in the thread title, but it ate too much space, sorry if this topic has been discussed before, I only want to join the anxiety. And I understand if the mod moves the thread.

Anyway, IMO, me thinks it will be Sting (although it's incredibly rare seeing The Undertaker got out-cheered) because RAW in 2/21/11 will be held in his home state.

What about u?

 

[C.K.O.]

a Sting debut would blow the roof off the arena.. especially if you came down from the ceiling.

Undertaker returning?.. eh, been there saw that 200x

 

[gooseholla]

Almost getting fed up of Undertaker returns, and could be a bit of an anti-climax for many people! Sting, if the crowd is clued up! Then again, it could be as dead as some of the other wrestling legends who appear from time to time!

 

[Tattooed Jesus]

Taker returning has been done to death now and I am not ever excited a single bit about this latest one.

Sting debuting in the WWE will only be outshined by The Rocks return this past Monday and might actually get an even bigger reaction. Sting has never and I mean never set foot in a WWE ring, not under a different name, or anything. Sting has never stepped face to face with many of the biggest names in wrestling like HBK, John Cena, The Rock, Vince or any of McMahons so the potential of any of these greatly out weighs any kind of excitement that having Taker return alone could potentially bring.

 

[Jason Scene]

Sting, if he debuts obviously.

Sting has neve featurded on WWE programming before. Undertaker makes like a return a year. The answer is obvious. Shame on the people who voted Undertaker.

But Sting debuting is becoming less and less likely as time wears on.

 

[The Suplexer Perfecter]

People seem to forget the kids in the arena HAVE NO CLUE WHO STING IS.

Sure the older guys would react, but the kids actually had an idea who Rock is, but have totally no idea who Sting is either.

And people are just NOW being fed up with Undertaker returns? Give me a break.

 

[Genius_Deadman]

Sting's debut, 99.9% to Taker's return which would be 0.01%

mainly i think the only way Taker would outshine Sting is if Taker returns with a different look or an older gimmick (like the Ministry look). Sting would without a doubt be bigger, especially with the possibilities for Mania.

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

It's obvious answer, debuting Sting, because we haven't seen it.. We have seen Taker return soooooo many times.. not that it gets boring, but Sting would blow the roof off any arena if he was to debut!

People seem to forget the kids in the arena HAVE NO CLUE WHO STING IS.

You do make a good point, but lets go back to the Rumble match, did the kids no who Diesel is? Nope! But he still got a helluva pop from the crowd even if it was the elders..

 

[Mr. Perfect/Ziggler Fan]

Sting's debut. I don't care if half of the arena was little kids, the arena's top would come off.

People seem to forget, with the day of the internet and all, that suprises DO still happen. It might not happen, but it still might. The people on here that say 'Get over it, it's the Undertaker, you're grasping at straws for this, you're an idiot for thinking a suprise could happen', are idiots.

Yeah, Sting may not debut in WWE next week, he may never debut, but even with all the spoilers and leaks that are out there, are you telling me that we'll never see another suprise in wrestling history? I know that Lex Luger and Rick Rude happened before the internet became as huge as it is, and they might have not made the splash they did if it happened now, but I still believe that something could happen.

BUT, if Sting does show up, I guarantee only 3, maybe 4 people at most, know about it (Sting, VKM, and maybe HHH). That's the only way you could keep something like this a secret.

If it does happen, Sting will get the absolute loudest pop we've heard in a very long time.

Sting - hands down - would get the bigger crowd reaction. No disrespect to the Undertaker. He is a legend and a well respected wrestler behind the scenes. However, to have the one guy who was the franchise of WCW finally appear in the WWE, would be epic. It would be pretty cool to have the Undertaker come out, cut a promo, the lights go out and when they come back up, 'Taker and Sting are face to face with each other in a stare down. Or, better yet, Vince comes out and runs his mouth about how he put WCW out of business, then Sting repels from above, sneaks up behind Vince and Scorpion Death Drops him. If the latter happened at RAW, it could set up a match between the two at 'Mania. If the latter happened at 'Mania, the roof would blow off the Georgia Dome. While I know it's the Undertaker returning, it would be awesome to have Sting come to the WWE. However, I'm not holding my breath. I would mark out big time if Sting does show up. Just my opinion.

 

[brochester8]

Any wrestling fan here will say Sting's Debut. Undertaker has come and gone many times over the years and yes he always gets a big pop. Sting showing up in WWE for the first time ever would be awesome and people would absolutely go nuts. I know I would and anybody that followed WCW would. Sting was the man in WCW and would really be great for WWE.

 

[jeffhardyfan22]

I think Sting ruined any chance of being a "big deal" if he came to WWE. Why you ask? He was with TNA. That's why. If he came to WWE he would seem weaker in my opinion because he has been in TNA which is definetely where the washed up go to die.

 

[UnBEARaBULLfan]

People seem to forget the kids in the arena HAVE NO CLUE WHO STING IS.

Just because Sting has never stepped in a WWE ring before doesn't mean that kids wont know who he is there is this thing called youtube which alot of kids check out, WWE is not the only way to see wrestling ,I know alot of people think it is but its not. there are also action figures which he has one it may not be a WWE one but he still has one that Im sure kids play with, just because he's not WWE doesn't mean he is not known of.

Sting would get the bigger pop cause undertaker has come and gone and come and gone so many times its played out, I know undertaker is one of the greats but him returning has just been done so many times its not exciting anymore.

 

[Captain Jive]

Sting without a doubt. I like Sting, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan, but it would definitely be bigger than Undertaker returning. Taker returns all the time, and he's only been gone for a few months, that's just normal business for him. Like someone before me said, he might get a bigger reaction if he came back with the whole Ministry look going on, I'm just sick of seeing him in a giant leotard with MMA gloves on, it doesn't even remotely look badass.

 

[Tully]

Sting - hands down, no doubt.

I've never understood Sting's "OMG WWE sux and isn't Christian" stance, given the depths of nonsense and definite 'unChristian' stuff that TNA engages in. Has he been watching this stupid Karen Angle angle (no pun)? Has he watched the various exploitative Knockout angles?

What makes TNA so much 'cleaner' than the WWE to the mind of Sting?

Nevermind that - diff. thread topic I guess. I, for one, would mark-out bigtime if Sting drops down from the rafters on RAW.

 

[BTLion1990]

A quick thanks to ''WHEELZ'' for his contribution, really helped a lot ANYWAY... Sting without a doubt. The biggest talent never to step foot in a WWE ring. If he came to the WWE it would be huge for the fact that he almost did but then U-turned due to the misuse of WCW talent during the invasion angle, plus he is without question a massive draw even at his age. He is wasted in TNA infront of 500 people, as opposed to coming to Mania infront of 70,000 people in one of the biggest event in sports. The Undertaker hasn't been away long enough for people to care about his return IMO, in comparison to a Sting debut. If Taker was gone 2/3 years then it would be a different story.

 

[Charismatic Enigma]

Obviously it goes without saying Sting is the answer...


Let me say this though, I've seen the phrase "comes down from the rafters" and "lowers from the ceiling" etc referencing Sting's debut. If by some chance he does show up, THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL the WWE will ever lower someone from the ceiling again. So you might see him lurking up there, but get that visual out of your heads cause even though he continued to do it in WCW after Owen's death, WWE will never do it again, bank on that.

 

[Stuntz]

The thing about this.....without reading much into this thread. Every singe wrestling fan is intrigued right now. Everyone in one way or another wants to know if its going to happen. Ther are alot of people ou tthere that want to see this. Vince is a smart man and knows the people wanna see this. And there is alot of proof that makes sense, He leaked that Bob Barker was the host, nest thinh the Rock is here. We have all seen Taker return multiple times. The roof better be of top quality cause the probability of it coming off is high if Sting drops from the Rafters.

When Sting spoke about WWE it was during the so-called attitude era at the time and wasn't a very family friendly show. Stings reason for never joining WWE after the sale of WCW was seeing the way Vince used his friends like DDP, Booker T and others along with the invasion angle. He didn't trust Vince to show his character the respect he felt it deserved and wasn't going to go to WWE to just be crushed because he was from WCW.

As the years went on TNA has gotten quite raunchy and WWE has gone PG. WWE is the product that would reflect stings valuse more now but considering he doesn't have the legs to work the WWE schedule he basically had to stay with TNA because of the easier schedule.

If it is Sting I think he will get the biggest pop from the crowd. But the only way we see Sting is if he get's a legends contract without the full-time schedule.

 

[CelticCorey]

I'm going nuts if it is Sting. I would mark out. Hell, not only would I mark out, I would love it if Sting was the one to break the streak.

If Undertaker returned *Yawn*. Like someone said about the ministry thing. If he returned with a ministry like look or even better, if he returned with the ministry theme, THEN I would mark for Taker's return but ONLY if that happened.

 

[trashboy]

a Sting debut would blow the roof off the arena.. especially if you came down from the ceiling.

I don't think the WWE would risk pulling another "Owen" by having him come from the rafters..

anyway, definitely Sting would get the biggest pop.. like others have said, Undertaker has come and gone so many times that it's just not that big of a deal when he "returns." Plus, Undertaker doesn't show up too often these days anyway, i kind of forget he's even still around

 

[trashboy]

Sorry for a 2nd post, but i wanted to say something about this also...

People seem to forget the kids in the arena HAVE NO CLUE WHO STING IS.

Sure the older guys would react, but the kids actually had an idea who Rock is, but have totally no idea who Sting is either.

And people are just NOW being fed up with Undertaker returns? Give me a break.

The kids have no idea who The Rock is? I'm not so sure about that, hasn't he been doing something called "movies," kid movies at that.. what was his last one "Tooth Fairy?" I'm sure they all saw that one..

 

[fenfool]

Undertaker. 80% of the crowd will not know who Sting is. The IWC may pop, but you won't be able to hear that at the arena. A good portion of the crowd will be saying, "Who?" I like Sting, this isn't a knock on him, but your typical WWE fan...anyone becoming a fan in the last 10 years, and anyone who hasn't watched TNA...has not been exposed to him. Given time, maybe he could work his way up to get a reaction like the top WWE guys, but not debuting. I would love to see him in a WWE ring, but they'd need more than a mysterious build...they would need spots to let the average fan know who he is, and build anticipation that way.

 

[VinnieSunshine]

Undertaker for sure. IF Sting were to come to WWE I think he would get a decent reaction...mostly from the older fans. If Sting were to go back to TNA...well the Impact Zone will pretty much cheer for anything.

Uh, did read the post you responded to there, chief? I quoted it for you again, since it appears you misread. I'll quote the two relevant sentences for you: "the kids in the arena HAVE NO CLUE WHO STING IS." and "the kids actually had an idea who Rock is."

Anyway, anybody who is voting Sting is a fool. (it's no surprise that that's true for the majority of people around here) Sting's debut would not be CLOSE to the reaction of the Undertaker. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE!

First of all, you have to realize that there are a lot of people who have no idea who Sting is. Yeah, he's a god among the elitist IWC morons, but the vast majority of WWE fans? They don't watch TNA and they didn't watch WCW. Most don't know who he is, and most of those who do...DON'T CARE. They'd watch TNA if they did! If you want to know what kind of reaction Sting would get, listen when somebody like John Morrison or Kofi Kingston comes to the ring. That's the reaction Sting would get. Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't take him long to win over the rest of the crowd and get Main Event reactions, but even then he'll never match the Undertaker...so I have no idea how on Earth he would match Undertaker on his debut. I don't think I have to explain why Undertaker's return is going to get a huge reaction. Yeah, the IWC idiots are "bored" and think they've "seen it before" but that sure as hell doesn't apply to the vast overwhelming majority of WWE fans.
