JBL said sting was a 2 time NWA champ.
He won that 2nd NWA title in the early years of TNA.
TNA EXISTS! kinda.

Eh... Honestly I think Taker's hair looked worse before he decided to shave it.
HE DOES THIS.... HE DOES THAT!

If Sting dyed is hair black, came out to his real theme music, and had a bat this would have been the best SS since 97.

I'm gonna be honest, he could have came out with his hair looking like Bill Murray from Kingpin and I still would have been excited lol.
Sting's debut was very sub-par to what it would have been. It suppose to be an incredible debut for a man like that but with no baseball bat, bland music (even Sting debuting with his TNA's music would have been off the hook), no build up, and no intense situation make it seem like they should have pulled the debut out of Survivor series and left it for RAW or Royal Rumble. Very disappointed and I blame WWE thoroughly for this.
The Scorpion Deathdrop was excellent done though so I am happy about that.

Because vince never made that ad.
Notice that wrestling content is better when he doesn't have his hands on it?

Sting IS BACK. I wonder who else can come back.

He also said HE'S MAKING AN IMPACT! God, I howled with laughter.

WWE has no idea how to get intensity or spectacle across in its product anymore. You should've expected it.
You mean Sting has arrived rather than come back.
Way to be super selective on what to complain about in a pro wrestling show where a lot of dumb things happen.
Fuck all that noise. Even though I knew it was probably coming, that moment was style hype as hell.
Also, even without the overbooking, that match was way better than it had any right being.

For what it was...it worked. They needed a shock factor to get people to resub or not cancel out of their subscription. It's no different from bork beating the streak/bryan winning the titles at wrestlemania or brock squashing cena at summerslam around the time the commitment was over.
Desperation is a killer. Like I said earlier, this ppv was pretty much a f2p game.

It's been known since before the ad was shot that it was something 2K was doing - they actively looked for a choir and someone who could match Sting's body in trade papers.
They actually did. 2K dropped like 250k on the ad.

Pretty great PPV overall. The main event elevates it a lot. Fucking STING! STING! Fuck. I still have goosebumps. So happy to see him. His new theme is really cool so I can't complain about it not being the crow sting one. It rocks. Main event rocked.
Weird thing is, they had his hair looking right at Comic Con

I guess they booked this so close to the wire they forgot/didn't have time to do him up

Don't worry, I am always 50/50 for when it comes to the WWE and the delivery of their product. Frankly, I'd have to say that the episode of RAW that aired two weeks ago was better than this Survivor Series. So considering this, I'm not surprised they messed up Sting's debut... it could have been the biggest pop and debut ever but... they killed it.
I hope WWE is reading this and many other post that are similar to mine because they need to understand how poor they have done.

Gel, he needs the gel!
agreed. Lets face it folks...this ppv was raw with a survivor series sign. The main event brought back that special old school feel of all types of shenanigans to be expected during a wrestling match. Sure Sting was random and rushed, but it was still effective. I marked out to the moon despite the weird Yeezus theme sting came out with...
Seems to be what happened.

Show highlights, ranked in order from best to worst:
1. Dolph Ziggler
2. Rusev's flip-flops and itchy scrotum
3.
4. Everything else except Sting

I hear you, but it could have been so much more. One biggest and most important guys ever in Wrestling history and... that was the execution. Not enough.

Sting's return was nice and all, but Fandago is who I really was excited for.

Well honestly I'm not sure the pop would've been any better because WWE has had mostly awful crowds recently. They could've presented it better though, sure, but I feel like way about most of their stuff these days. It's just a sterile show all around.
Yes... I feel this was a last minute switch. Goes to show how bad the creatives are at planning and keeping things a secret.
Except he performed in front of 6 people

Yeah but the way the WWE Network is structured you don't need it to watch RAWS, so even people that enjoyed seeing Sting don't need to stay subscribed to see what happens next, and the WWE has 4 weeks to lose them before the next PPV (which they have shown to be more than capable of)
Sad that you, myself and many others feel this way... Heh, it's like SEGA and their games - we want them to be great but... yeah.

Sting needs to ask kane for that wig he was using.
They killed the popularity of wrestling by turning it into a wiggles concert.
Look at wrestling when it was hot at any time in the past 30 years. You see lots of adults in the crowd.
Today you have the Scooby doo cena fan club occupying half of the arena. And they aren't sticking with the product in their teens.

I only started watching wrestling like a year and a half ago, loved Ziggler the moment I saw him, then sat through a year and a half of him losing to randoms on Smackdown, now he singlehandedly took down three out of 5 members. Fucking awesome.
And I'm a sucker for even pointless, random, minor lesbianism. I don't give a shit, that was pretty great. And we didn't have to sit through a full second Diva's match!

Yep. They could have had Gillian introduced Sting for him to promote WWE 2k15 and a random sandow come out to say he's stingdow.

Sorry wrong answer
They could have had cena destroy him.

Sting's appearance was just 5, maybe 10 years too late to get a serious pop from the WWE Universe audience. It would have been like seeing Terry Funk come out in the late 90s/early00s. Just some guy you heard about but never really cared enough for. The reaction was a lot more mild than I expected. Diesel's token appearances at RR a few years back got much louder pops.
Nash is still in movies.
To be fair, Diesel came back in what, Philadelphia? St Louis pales in comparison.
