Drop off makes sense considering the card wasn't very strong

Surfer Sting was a bigger draw than crappy crow Sting. They used to pack the Cobb County Civic Center in the early 90s. That's the pinnacle of rasslin success.

They should've never let out that Sting can't go or bump. Kills any intrigue people might have had in seeing him.

He's never been THAT big of a star. I've always been a Sting fan but people WAY over rate how big of a star he was/is in the wrestling world. Outside of 97 Starrcade and some late 80's early 90's matches with Flair (which in hindsight have more to do with Flair since Flair drew with Luger and Sting, but Luger vs Sting never did), he's never been a big draw. He's a 3rd tier guy if I'm going to rank wrestlers.

I’m also a big Sting fan but I did find it funny when Cornette brought up something obvious that never completely dawned on me. The most over Sting ever got was when he spent a year not wrestling... or speaking.

That 97 Starrcade match is such a huge and pivotal moment in WCW when it was at its zenith and in wrestling in general, that I think the misconception has been that Sting was this MASSIVE star when everything before and after then in Sting's career(some due to bad booking) pales in comparison to that one show.

I was a huge fan of Sting in 98..... I also liked Disco Inferno though so I might just be weird.

Disco was very underrated in WCW. Got lost in the mix a bit but was always a reliable hand.

Sting has not historically drawn outside those moments Gertner mentioned, but I don’t know if I even blame him, per se. Anyone remotely interested in watching alternative wrestling is going to tune out when they see that product. It’s a different genre to what Sting fans remember.

How much of it is "Sting is not a draw" and how much of it is "What the fuck is this shit? I ain't watching this and I don't care if it's Sting or Hulk Hogan that's on later."
I mean, this week the Main Event featured glorified Trash Bag Joey Janella. |

Sting only coming out to point his bat and then leave isn't going to keep the people interested in him watching. Said it before, but they should've never let it out the bag that he can't/won't bump or get physically involved. It instantly killed any interest in what he might've been doing on the show.

SD did 1.03 million on FS1, which I believe is better than the last time they aired on FS1. I think last time they did 800k.

Disco was gold, even as a kid who hated heels I loved heel disco!
After Crow Sting he was never in a decent storyline really and as much as I love the guy a non wrestling Sting at this age isnt a longterm draw. Im a massive fan but have almost 0 interest in seeing him wrestle. If they were smart they would rewarm the 97 Angle by having a stable take over and Sting does his lonewolf bit... Yes its a rehash but what isnt in wrestling at this poiint and Sting having NWO flashbacks going mental with a bat on the bad guys is about the best hes capable of at this point. |

Also, why does Cody dislike Disco Inferno so much? Seems I missed something somewhere along the way there. |

Disco is a very annoying individual to some. He was slapped in the face by Arn Anderson and Eddie Guerrero in separate incidents during his time in WCW. As a performer I almost always liked him though (thought the Filthy Animals run was bad in 2000).

Funny that. PPV bounce backs aren’t what they used to be, but as Raw goes, so does AEW. You’ll probably find it do a bit better than it did last week. Although it might actually do far worse given it’s taped, the show reads awful/boring and it’s in a different slot. But those are actually extenuating circumstances. Further goes to why these immediate reactions to the ratings are bullshit.

People who want to eat dog shit are gross. It’s just weird when they then go online and try to make eating dog shit seem like the coolest thing on the planet.

Or call you dumb because you don't 100% believe like they do. It's like an inside joke you are supposed to know, but the only real joke is the company itself.

Xrod do you go on any low traffic fast food forums and repeatedly post about how much you hate mcdonalds and claim everyone else loves it blindly while repeatedly posting dumb homemade memes you think are an ace gotcha card instead of actually conversing like a being which possesses some form of intelligence?
