supersonic Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Regardless of various lenses on Goldberg vs. Lesnar II, here's something we can ALL hopefully agree on. The entire presentation of the Survivor Series 2016 main event is EXACTLY how the main event of Starrcade 1997 should've gone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmas Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I don't understand. What was wrong with Sting vs Hogan? Can't tell if serious... Sarcasm or legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 No really, being serious. I don't see what's wrong with the highest grossing American show of the decade. Yeah the main event was shitty (was there any chance it could have been good?) , but as a kid I was just glad Sting won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yes the chance according to the original post was three moves and Sting wins. You asked what was wrong and then in follow up post you say it was a shitty match. Supersonic believes that should went down like Goldberg vs Lesnar and then it would have been great. I disliked that Sting character and totally agree with Hogan that Sting physically and mentally was not fit to be champion based on his consistently shitty performances in 1998, but yes Goldber/Lesnar with Sting/Hogan was the way to go.

PeteF3 Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I don't agree with the match going less than a minute, but I definitely agree that it was way overthought and overbooked. Sting starts out hot, give Hogan a few spots where it looks like he's going to steal a win, Bret leads the WCW locker room in fending off the NWO, Sting wins. Maybe have Bret do a faceoff with Sting afterward. No one really cares that Andre and Hogan had a pretty shitty match at WM3, because they executed what they set out to do successfully and the match was laid out effectively. Sting and Hogan was laid out absolutely horribly and the execution just as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artDDP Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hogan played a coward all year and then when the bell rang he kicked Sting's ass for twelve minutes. Sting shouldn't have had a chance to get blown up. It should have been a quick squash, and Hogan losing so definitively would have added to the NWO dissent angle they ran in the spring of 1998.

joeg Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I mean Starcade did something like 700k + buys, and then the next 3 PPVs did something like 400k + buys. Then it fell off a cliff once Sting dropped the title. Everybody's hyped over Goldberg's return right now, but long and short term doesn't losing in 30 seconds hurt Lesnar's marketability as the baddest man on the planet. Also does anybody see WWE getting over 2 million PPV buys worth of revenue out of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
