Milkman delivers Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 QUOTE (T R U @ Mar 31, 2011 -> 03:23 AM) ahh ok I understand now after re-reading.. but going back to that, I am actually fairly confident that Kane is the longest tenured wrestler in WWE right now.. Its funny thinking about Kane.. he was Isaac Yankem and the Fake Diesel.. and then he became Kane and has had prolly a very easy and fullfilling career.. hes never had to have the burden of being the main draw of the company, but at the same time he has always been a "dominant" wrestler.. pretty sweet gig His tenure was what made his recent title run so sweet. The guy was with the company more than like 15 years, and held the championship for a day (I think). I'm guessing one of the main reasons he's stuck around so long is that he's very agreeable backstage, not asking for pushes and sort of just taking whatever storyline they throw at him.

Kyyle23 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 http://www2.dailystar.co.uk/inthering/view...nia-takes-hold/ Sting revealed in an interview with Daily Star that World Wrestling Entertainment officials approached and offered him a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXVII, as well as induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. He declined their offer. "I wouldn't say it was utter nonsense, that's not true!" laughs Sting. "It's a dream match that fans would want to see. It was close. I'm glad things turned out the way they did. “There are so many variables. Let's just say that I turned it down for the same reasons I always have. Something in me never trusted what would happen up there, based entirely on the track record with other WCW guys and everything that went on after Vince bought WCW. "I wont be watching but I'll be asking what happened between Undertaker and Triple H." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution lists the following as the match order for WrestleMania XXVII on Sunday: * United States Champion Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan * Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole with special referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin * Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes * Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov vs. Ezekiel Jackson, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett * John Morrison, Trish Stratus and Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler and Lay-Cool * Randy Orton vs. CM Punk * World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio * The Undertaker vs. Triple H (No Holds Barred Match) * WWE Champion The Miz vs. John Cena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knoe, right. He says he thinks he made the right decision but that had gotta be BS. He acts like it is still the Attitude Era or something. Move on, have the match, go in the Hall of Fame, and retire respectfully. It's not like WWE will make him work full time for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have had a pretty sweet gig right there see, i could understand not wanting to come to theWWE only to job to Taker in your first payperview which is also the biggest wrestling payperview in the business. But to not want to be inducted into the HOF, and cite that "they do business a certain way" as part of the reason why he didnt want to come just boggles my mind, especially after he has sat there and watched Hogan and Bischoff attempt to turn TNA into the Attitude era, and even moreso after the Hardy match. in my perfect world, Sting would be running in and interfering at Mania leading to a long program with undertaker that could go into summerslam. Sting must really despise Vince, because we all know Vince is throwing money at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I have to wonder at this point if Sting doesn't just get some kind of kick out of being the only "big name" not to work for Vince? I think I'd have jobbed to Mae Young at Mania rather than work in that clusterf*** they're operating in Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider Shawn Michaels jobbing to Undertaker.. those two matches were great.. there should be no shame in putting on a great match in front of about 11-12 TIMES the crowd that shows up to TNA shows.. and its on the grandest stage in professional wrestling.. AND he would have gotten a huge payday.. its something people have been dying to see for ages now.. It makes no sense to me why he would turn that down.. also, back to the previous point about not wanting to job at Wrestlemania, Mr. Wrestlemania himself HBK is 6-11 in Mania matches.. all you need to do is put on a show, that always lasts with people more than win/loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets be honest, HBK is a hell of an entertainer in the ring, when I watch Sting he is pretty much Ric Flair with facepaint and a trenchcoat, immobile and old and says "whooo" a lot. He isnt going to be flying off the ropes or delivering superkicks out of nowhere. I just think that being the next in line for Undertaker would be less than appealing, but i do agree that it would be better than TNA at this point. Sting has always drawn the line in the sand, and I guess he still hasnt seen a good reason to cross it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
