Seth is the future of the wwe right now.
Might be the only way to get the wrestlers to drop their guard.

Let Sting have a brief run, it is very likely his last match will be in his adopted hometown of Dallas at WM so let him have top billing for a month are two. He deserves it, never politicked, put guys over, extremely loyal. Let him have a last hurrah.
You have to give him a proper build to the turn or else the crowd won't get behind him. Look at Orton's failed face run back in '04 for an example.
Right now, Seth gets more heat than the Authority from most crowds.

I would pay damn good money to see a hardcore War Games and a cheesy as fuck Bash at the Beach again.

I'd be okay with this.
Sting, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Randy Orton
vs.
Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and the Wyatt Family.

Have you considered that they'll explain it next week, and want you to tune in to find out? A cliffhanger, if you will.

WWE and WCW buried the hatchet at Mania; Sting and Triple H are just getting warmed up.

I think Sting attacking Rollins is going to have less to do with his beef with The Authority than it does with Rollins devaluing the titles. Y'know, "First he ruins the legacy of the World Heavyweight Championship, now he's going to ruin the legacy of the United States title the WCW made famous". Though I guess maybe his beef with The Authority stems partially from their favoritism ruining wrestling, so whatever.
Edit: The only way Rollins is going to have a babyface run in him is if they pull an Okada-like redemption arc, where he loses the title in a humiliating fashion and has to work his way back up from the bottom of the card. Though even that won't totally work because it's not like they're going to put Seth on Superstars and Main Event with the REAL jobbers, but still, Seth's been such an entitled, whiny, chickenshit cunt that the only way he's going to be credible as a good guy is if he earns it, long-term. They need to bring somebody up and make them the new "Authority Guy", have him crush Rollins, maybe have Rollins lose the WHC but keep the US Title and have him build himself back up as a fighting low-card champion.

Seth Rollins' real last name is Lopez? Can we get an AC Slater style Chicano swerve?

He's Armenian.
Anyone ever watch the Memphis Heat documentary?
It's a pretty amazing look at the Memphis territory at its hottest.

Seeing Stinger challenge for a world title triggered me into remembering something that has always nagged at me.
Going back to 1996, Stinger spent an entire year mute. He didn't say a word, and in doing so, his presence was magnified. This led to his climactic match against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan at Starrcade 97, a match that Stinger won. After winning the title, Stinger, being the geek that he is, inexplicably couldn't stop himself from breaking character, and what followed was Stinger's first words in over a year...being some gibberish in Spanish about his mamacita. A stunned Tony has no idea what to make of it, finally commenting that "for the first time, Sting has something to say..."
Not being a speaker of Spanish, I never did figure out what Stinger said, and why it was so critical for him to break 12 months of silence to say it at that moment. Can someone who speaks Spanish (Ninja Scooter?) jump to 23:20 in this video and translate Stinger's baffling words?

That's his stepfather's surname, Rollins is Armenian himself.

Is it possible that Steve Borden grew up in a mixed Spanish/Anglo house hold, possibly explaining his deep Christian faith?

That's apparently the reason sting never wanted to come to wwe.
Aside: I want a reality show following New Day around.
What about Ryback?
Hold the friggin' phone, friends. Is it true that the new NXT documentary series is produced by the masterminds behind Bar Rescue?
This changes everything. My expectations have never been higher.
i was shocked you didn't make an ot thread about it
My favorite part about Sting is the only way he can not play Surfer Sting is when they don't have any lines written for him. Why the fuck would you wear all black and a trenchcoat and then still cut 'ITS SHOWTIME' promos?

he lives in Texas now, a border state, but even back before when he was a surfer I'm sure the ocean's swell took him past American waters of Venice beach and into South American waters where he could catch the gnarliest, tastiest waves.

This seems plausible as well. Having lived in Venice, he surely picked up on some Spanglish, and in his excitement, he just couldn't help himself. I'd wager he dreams in Spanglish on some nights.

The moment Sting jobbed to Trips, his value with the company is that another WCW star buried by HHH. Trips going to have Sting job to Rollins with the pedigree finish once again.

Sting didn't lose to the pedigree at Mania.

If you think about it.
Braun is basically a Mega Evolution of Bray.

Is he another Harper or another Rowan?
