If anybody is popping for old man Sting at this point it's Khan. It's evident to me Sting required no effort for the cheese. It was cool when he showed up in WWE, but come on, the guy retired, only wanted to face Undertaker, so what is he gonna do, manage? Yawn. And what mark teams up with a struggling show like Impact. Khan's only sucking Callis cock to get himself some of their women wrestlers on his show.

They've taken the direct WWE tactic for a cheap ratings boost. Celebs, old timers and heavyweight championship matches. Where did Team Taz disappear to? Did they seriously run from an old man? If they bring in Lesnar or Punk, those are the only ones I can currently think of that make sense, legit stars who can still go. Having old guys around is wasting money but I guess he got plenty to waste.
Seems Sting went there because he wants a last match. Guess he's got the same thing as the Undertaker had. Can't get it out of his system. WWE obviously didn't want to risk it so he went to AEW instead. |

A 61 Year old Sting scares me too as did WWE of course they didn't want to take the risk, but I would say where was that thought process for older talent like Taker or Flair who got great endings for their Careers when they were way passed their primes too? How many times did Taker go out there with no business being in there? Whether or not I like it and being a fan of his work since I was a little Stinger AEW might have the best plan like Taker got going out so knows till we see it. Also AEW right now has everything you want as a fan of all facets. More often than not AEW is the one to me that I'm talking about in a positive light rather than NXT where it seems like they are so behind in so many ways.
Lastly Taz and Company running from Sting I mean he's a Icon of course you run. If it was Taker you run. If it was a legend of that caliber you better run especially when you see that person means business and hello he had his bat with him. |

It's too difficult for me at this point to look past his age and his recent past. And watching back, he was moving slowly. The likely agreement is he'll work extra safe but if he is set to go against Darby, I would hardly call his style safe. I know he has a bat but team taz were seemingly gone instantly as in before they knew who it even was. Two large guys running like wimps, come on.
At this point the only differences I can come up with between AEW and WWE are no script writers, contract perks, one lacking female division, managers and a more serious tag team division. Who've they seriously made into a legit star that transcends wrestling? And the audience isn't growing, it's remained more or less stable. Until they're whooping Smackdown numbers they can't claim any sort of wrestling shift at all so when Khan is saying shit like that on Twatter he loses cred with me. |

Well if it's Darby yeah he can be reckless, but realistically all Sting has to do is let that younger guy bump, catch him, and you do what you gotta do. Even if they do something like the Coffin drop on the Apron Sting can move out of the way. AEW remember has been only a Year on TV and you can't tell me within a few Years this Company isn't going to be killing it if they keep this roster together and improve on it.

For that plan to watch Impact Tuesday, tomorrow night, at 8PM EST on AXSTV/Twitch here is the match card for the show:
- Chris Bey & Moose vs Rich Swann (Impact World Champion) & Willie Mack - Knockouts Tag Team Tournament Match: Deonna Purrazzo (Knockouts Champion) & Kimber Lee vs Taya Valkyrie & Rosemary - Josh Alexander vs Chris Sabin - Eric Young vs Cody Deaner - TJP vs Brian Myers I say the best way to see Impact is through SlingTV, which is what I use. AXSTV is on their basic package. Cut the cable cord. |

I'm sure Lizard man Meltzer will tell me about the two minute segment on his website unless he's gonna paywall it.

Read Kenny cut a promo on his tour bus or something. Nothing must see. Basically what I expected. I was on board with Impact for a while when they were doing that comedy series but after that ended it fell fast.

So Sling has no story, he just felt like showing up. We have to make the story up ourselves. Shasquel got cucked and Winter Circles are the exact same. Kenny arrives as a poor mans Flair with incredibly poor editing for Callas, who clearly had already landed and then they attempted to make it look like he hadn't and then they proceeded to waste time, no progression. What a riveting show. No urgency, nothing must see and a ton of desperation, even though they act like they're fine with the ratings on Lietter. I guess that's why JR begs you to stay during the pic&pic breaks and they have to have themed shows galore with promise of lots but in reality deliver so little.
Also why the fuck isn't Abandon in dark order? And how is everyone with her ripping off the sit up gimmick? Does it make her look like an Undertaker mark. |
