After weeks of speculation, including many public denials, Sting officially announced his retirement earlier tonight at the WWE Hall of Fame. The belief has been that he was shooting for one more match with The Undertaker, but it looks like he was just trying to announce his retirement on his own terms rather than buying into whoever leaked his impending announcement online.

Much respect to Sting on a tremendous career in the wrestling business. A complete legend in every sense of the word. And one thing is for sure about Sting…NOTHING is for sure.

  1. He should have never gone to WWE – it was a waste and he hurt his legacy – he didn’t win ONE match there.

    What a pity.

    I wish he didn’t sell out and go WWE and give Vince the rights to himself.

    Money talks I guess.

  2. Mania sounds like it bombed – and the attendance number was inflated.

    I just looked at the results and no surprises.

    WWE is really really really bad.

    It is a pity as much people went to that crapfest as did.

    Mania is what keeps WWE alive – I predict numbers for RAW continue to fall as the year goes on.

    TNA IMPACT has been a much better and interesting show – I also watched NJPW for the first time last week and enjoyed it – Love Josh and JR on commentary.

    It is amazing – TNA, ROH, and NJPW are ALL better than WWE – and WWE gets the numbers and money—but that may be changing.

    WWE is garbage.

    This Mania sounded terrible.

  3. If you are a wrestling fan, you should appreciate Dixie Carter and what she does for TNA.

    Say what you want, Dixie puts her heart and soul into that company, is always trying stuff, and genuinely seems to care about the fans.

    I met her in Nashville at the fanfest before Lockdown – and she was a really good person – she is smarter than she gets credit for – TNA is almost 15 years old – she saved the company and SOMEHOW she always gets a network for them. There’s something to be said for that.

    Yeah – you can focus on the failures – but you should also focus on the good she has done.

    People knock her for going against RAW head to head – I give her credit for that – she went for that – God bless her – that was the time to do it. It took guts.

    Bottom line is …………the people you see criticize her? They go back 5 plus years to name things she has done bad- in the last couple years – tell me the things she has done so bad to hurt TNA

    (crickets)

    That’s what I thought – she has streamlined the company, and saving money on salaries – and got rid of the cash grabbers like Hogan and Sting and Joe and Styles.

    And good riddance to Eric Young and Bobby Roode – these guys ALWAYS hold up Dixie for more money like Styles did, when they did NOTHING for numbers.

    These guys should get paid on performance. They draw 200 to house shows, then they ask Dixie for big money – I know – I have BEEN to those house shows. These guys should not force Dixie for more money when they don’t even draw.

    Dixie has done good with TNA, I can’t picture anyone doing any better than her, believe it or not – everyone goes GAGA for NJPW and ROH, and I DO like both, but where are they? – they aren’t doing any better than TNA stateside.

    TNA has been a really good product lately and deserves a shot by the die-hard wrestling fans.

    Thanks.

  4. Sting was awesome, but he never had a match again that topped his Clash match with Flair – he peaked early – he had some other good matches with Flair, but that was it.

    A lot of it had to do with the fact he was never the same when he blew his knee out at that one Clash when he tried climbing that cage.

    After that, he was never the same – but he had that persona – especially the Crow one.

    I should say he had some good matches with Muta too.

    Flair and Muta matches – that’s what I’ll always remember about Sting – beyond those, he was average…..but like Taker, had a great gimmick.
