Lee Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Wanted to bring this up since it's kinda a running on Bryan & Vinny. What do you think of WWE referring to the Rhodes Brothers tag team as "Gold & Stardust"? Like Goldust, part of WWE off-and-on for almost 20 years, apparently has the first name of "Gold" and the last name of "Dust" or "Ust". Only thing I can understand about it is that it sounds a bit smoother during ring intros. I wish they'd called the team "Ashes to Ashes" and they'd made that part of their promos.
BillThompson Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 You all do realize that HHH the Executive you see on TV is just a character he's playing right? Obviously, which is why I'm only referring to interviews he's given when not in character. However, I think it's pretty clear that like a lot of performers the character of Triple H is an extension of Paul Levesque the person.
Zoo Enthusiast Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 As someone who couldn't care less about Sting, is there any reason for me to bother with this? Thinking I'll just watch the Sunday Night Football game.
Coffey Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Well, the Sunday Night Fooball game is Cowboys@Giants, that should be enough reason to not watch that. Unless you want to watch the 3-7 Giants?
Childs Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I find the excitement over Sting extremely strange and have felt that way throughout the endless saga over whether he'd sign. He was never worth a shit as talker, and he can't really wrestle at 55. What's the hook?
El-P Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I find the excitement over Sting extremely strange and have felt that way throughout the endless saga over whether he'd sign. He was never worth a shit as talker, and he can't really wrestle at 55. What's the hook? The same as always. Nostalgia. But yeah. Sting was last relevant in… 1997 ? He'll be 56 at Mania. Retromania running wild.

Only thing I can understand about it is that it sounds a bit smoother during ring intros. I think, like many things WWE does, the implication that their last names are "Dust" is supposed to be funny and it's bizarre how uptight Bryan gets over it. I felt the same about the announcers pretending El Torito was a real bull, though I think it was mostly Dave that took issue with that one. Some people just don't get jokes I guess.
Childs Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, I guess he's just not a guy I'm nostalgic for at all.
Zoo Enthusiast Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Well, the Sunday Night Fooball game is Cowboys@Giants, that should be enough reason to not watch that. Unless you want to watch the 3-7 Giants? Always love to watch the Cowboys.
Matt D Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, I guess he's just not a guy I'm nostalgic for at all. I actually don't think it' necessarily Sting nostalgia so much as WCW nostalgia. He's basically the only guy they could bring in, other than Tony Schiavone that would make things, for a moment, feel like WCW. There's so much ECW pandering that the network does and even when they say anything about WCW, it's all Monday Night Wars era. Sting's something from the old pre-Hogan WCW, even if his current look isn't.
Coffey Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 I'm just curious, if he shows up, what he'll look like. Is he going to be "Crow" Sting again?
Timbo Slice Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Most likely. They've been pushing that since the return with the WWE commercial.
Grimmas Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 So, do we get Sting as the replacement for the Authority after they lose or does Sting just sit in the rafters and watch Bray Wyatt or somebody?
Exposer Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 Well, the Sunday Night Fooball game is Cowboys@Giants, that should be enough reason to not watch that. Unless you want to watch the 3-7 Giants? Well, I'm a die hard Cowboys fan, so that will be on. We're planning to put up two TVs tonight.
Marty Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I find the excitement over Sting extremely strange and have felt that way throughout the endless saga over whether he'd sign. He was never worth a shit as talker, and he can't really wrestle at 55. What's the hook? Probably the appeal of being the one guy never to have been with the E all this time. I don't give a whoop about that, but I guess some do.
The Chief Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I hope that they can get Bryan somehow involved in the authority goodbye since this all started as his angle. It would be a fitting end and they could even say how he wanted to update his fans on his progress ala Reigns, but the authority wouldn't give him the tv time.
Russellmania Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I hope that they can get Bryan somehow involved in the authority goodbye since this all started as his angle. It would be a fitting end and they could even say how he wanted to update his fans on his progress ala Reigns, but the authority wouldn't give him the tv time. I was hoping he'd take out HHH with the knee last night. The place would have gone totally apeshit. I know he's still got the arm thing going on but surely he can still bump and do the knee.
Loss Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 I cracked up when Cole referred to Bryan as "that young man" on commentary, like he is this innocuous guy that used to be around.
goc Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 WCW had more guys on their roster to waste but I'm starting to feel like modern WWE is competing with them in the "most talented roster that's being completely wasted" department. How do they have so much TV time and still feel like NOTHING happens with anyone outside of MAYBE 8-10 people at a time.
Strummer Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 the Law update today features an item that the company has already come up with a way to book themselves out of the main event stip but are unsure if they will go on with the plan. Lame. Expected but lame
Loss Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Oh, I'm expecting HHH and Stephanie on RAW tonight, with the stip reset quite possibly by the end of the show.
Strummer Posted November 24, 2014 Report Posted November 24, 2014 Meltz says no new authority figure will be named tonight and the plan is not to bring a new one in at all. Yep we are getting status quo aren't we?
KrisZ Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 It's a good thing....authority figures need a rest right now
Matt D Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 How will Creative structure the shows without an authority figure?
Strummer Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Hunter and Stephanie will kick off Raw with a "farewell to the authority" address
