We Have Him! Now What?

EDITORS NOTE - You can now catch Levels Of Wrestling RAW preshows every Monday two hours before RAW and their interactive wrestling talk show LOWdown on Tuesday nights at the same time on youtube.

Lets just take a minute and realise that STINGS APPEARANCE IN WWE WILL NEVER LIVE UP TO PEOPLES EXPECTATIONS if and when it happens. I'm not afraid to say that I wrote a piece back in December about how I felt Sting should have made his debut and now in the back of my mind I will forever believe my way was correct and would have been better than anything WWE could give us. And frankly my idea was great (yup I'm serious). So with that in mind I want to give you all a realistic look at what is most likely going to happen or could happen next week IF Sting does arrive on WWE tv;


The Realistic Option

Sting is more than 99% confirmed as the preorder bonus character in WWE 2K15 and with WWE beginning to promote the game it is safe to say this is why Sting shows up. The fact is they did this same sort of thing with Warrior last year. They will more than likely announce the fact that Sting or Steve Borden is the first inductee to WWE Hall Of Fame class of 2015 and then tell everyone that he is the preorder character. It might not be the way you want it to go down but hell its the most likely so do not get all up on your high horse when it happens. You were warned stingers. Personally i'm ok with this. Yeh it's a little disappointing but remember that WWE is a profit turning company first and foremost and they really do do what's best for business so to say. Guaranteed this will bring back some of the attention from old WCW fans that WWE may have lost and it will also bring in TNA fans who watched Sting while he was there so this really is best for business. 

The Sandow

I suggested it on twitter but just in case you missed it, we could possibly get Damien Stingdow. For the last few weeks we have seen Sandow try and get heel heat from the crowd by dressing as other superstars from that town and mocking them. I realise that Sting is not from RAWs destination next week but with all the hype that happened you can guarantee that Sandow would get some heat if he comes out as Sting. He could have the lights drop and the crow. It would be huge when there has been this much speculation for months. Obviously at some point you have him do this and then Sting attacks him, proclaims it's showtime and disappears for a few weeks while teasing more things on twitter. 


The GM Option

Vicki gone. Maddox gone. A job opening there then. This is just another option that WWE can take. It could be announced that he is here to work for the board of directors as a decision from Vince himself. They can run with the idea that The Authority is out of control and they are abusing power. This would lead to matches at Summerslam such as Brie Bella getting the opportunity to fight for job against Steph, Reigns vs Orton (if Reigns wins he can face HHH at NOC) and Ambrose vs Rollins. Sting is the perfect character to do this because if needs be The Authority angle can go on until WM and guess what? You might get that Sting match. Im not saying it should happen. I'm only saying its an option.

The Tease

Plain and simple just like it sounds. You don't need anything huge. Just have a match go on and then have the lights go black. Hear a crow sound and then when the lights come back up all the guys are on the outside of the ring on the floor and a single bat lies in the middle of the ring.
Alternatively have the same situation but instead of the bat you have the crow/vulture sitting on the ropes and then the lightening flash to finish off RAW. 


The Fan Option

Now this is in no way true or should be believed as that. This is just if I could have my way at this point. So know it won't happen. 
If WWE were sensible they would have put Undertaker as the preorder bonus. Who doesn't want to play as arguably the biggest star of the last 25 years? This ensures that WWE get a set amount of preorder bonuses sold and they make sure people buy the game. This could have been announced on Monday and they could have tried to announce Undertakers HOF spot for the class of 2015. At this point you could have the lights drop and make it seem like Undertaker was going to make his entrance. Lights go up and Sting (who is holding a microphone) is face to face with HHH when the lights go up. Sting tells HHH and Taker that he can't go into the HOF until he has faced him. That he cant go out without letting two legends clash. Lights drop out again before HHH can retort and Sting is gone. They could tease the Sting/Taker match. 

With all this in mind there is one final possibility and that is that Sting can wrestle or at least set up matches that he can wrestle EG Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. While many think that Sting cant or shouldn't wrestle you can damn well believe that if he feels capable that WWE will utilize him in any way they can. The PPVs will shoot up when people find out that the one man who has never wrestled in WWE is suddenly wrestling. And if they were wise they could easily make his first match Survivor Series (where Taker debuted). 



I honestly believe (and this isn't just the fan talking) that if Taker wants to they will do Sting/Taker next year. They have no streak to limit them any more and as many people keep stating they are getting too old. Yep they are getting old. So its this year or never. Taker looked as bad as he did in that match because he suffered a concussion 3 minutes in to the match. He would not have looked like that had he not sustained a concussion I guarantee that. Roughed up yes but completely bedraggled no. And yes the streak still would have been broken this year before anyone decides to tell me otherwise.
IF STING AND TAKER WANT THAT MATCH YOU CAN BE DAMN WELL SURE ITS GOING TO HAPPEN and it will be your money match on the PPV. It will be billed as the last match of two legends. But whatever happens when/if Sting shows up you can bet your bottom dollar it will make WWE history.
