WWE: Sting to announce retirement at Hall of Fame Induction
- Thread starter The Lunatic Fridge
- Start date
TMZ is actually a credible source believe it or not.
Sucks for Sting but dude is almost 60 and had a legendary career.

Not surprised really given what the reports coming out his match with Seth were. It does suck that we never got that rumored Sting/Taker WreslteMania match though.

It sucks that they wasted him in a match with HHH at last year's mania. It should have been Sting vs. Taker. He is my favorite wrestler of all time. I grew up watching the NWA and then WCW. Thank you Sting.

It's too bad Vince couldn't let his animosity toward WCW go and give Sting at least one win in WWE.

I'm more surprised people think he is still going to wrestle again or this is a work.
Stinger had an amazing career but said how piss poor his short WWE run was.
Nobody would've cared how short the run was if they had Trips do the favors at Mania but it was Vince's call.

Of course, but I think its still a legit thing to be upset about.
I mean his TNA run isn't full of much to be proud of either, but the man is a legend and deserved better then losing in that gimmick overbooked match.

Made the World Champion and likely one of the faces of the company for the next decade tap out clean to be fair...

I do think Sting wasn't treated right but let's get the facts straight.
He is 2-2 on WWE tv.

I wish his time in WWE wasn't so....unfortunate. Taker vs Sting was always a dream match and it should've happened last year at Wrestlemania.
Nevertheless, what a career.

If it was Sting vs Undertaker at last years WrestleMania who ends up winning? Would Vince want the Undertaker to possibly lose at it for the second straight year?
Considering Sting lost to HHH at Wrestlemania, he would have lost to Undertaker too...
Honestly, Sting losing to HHH at Mania wouldn't have bothered me so much if it wasn't for the Monday Night War crap they just had to throw in there.
I would've been okay with Sting losing to Taker just for the simple fact that the story wouldn't have been built around the Authority, the whole WWF/WCW stuff, and it probably would've been a pretty clean match. May not have been of great quality but at least all the fluff around it would've been wiped away.

I think Sting was right in not coming to the WWE. I mean... 15 years after the Monday Night Wars, Vince still has him work a match with HHH where DX and NWO come out. 
But ultimately it was such a cool moment to see him show up, even though it was 10 years too late.

I don't think he was right ultimately. It would certainly be likely that he'd treat him like crap at some point but Sting's good enough that Vince would've given him opportunities. It's not as if Goldberg, someone not as good nor as popular, didn't get opportunities.
