83 Weeks #93: Sting on RAW 

16:41-17:54 Eric's laugh LOL

I'd kill to know which superstar was pissed Triple H went over Sting.

Sting WWE TITANRON Graphics were Great The Theme Song Lacked Synergy !!!

An episode of WCW>A year of WWE.

Looking forward to this! Great topic! #Stinger

Yes Vince McMahon try to destroy all the WCW characters that join WWE in my opinion as a wrestling fan

Thanks For all you do Conrad

I can't wait until 2/15 and we don't have to hear that Rose Gold Gold Rose Ad. Loved when Eric trolled him about a Rose Gold Rolls-Royce.

I liked this podcast. Sting was so loyal to TNA Wrestling after WCW closed. Every time his contract was up, Dixie would get him to resign for another year. Triple H and Stephanie loved to hear themselves talk. They would talk for 40 minutes. Sting's debut was a homerun. It came across the screen well. I rated this episode a 7/10.

Who got pissed and said "you gotta be fuckin kidding me" CM Punk, American Nightmare Rhodes, Jerricho, Moxy?

How are you gonna trim your bush? Lmao

Was Bischoff working for WWE in 2015? I'd rather hear Eric talk about his experiences when working. Don't care too much about 2015 stuff because by this time I could have easily checked the web, as opposed to pre 2008

*Sting 2015 - Monday Night Raw* 3:36 Then, Now, Forever, MLK

I love Sting but WWE was never going to fit that kind of wrestler and persona. It's like Ric Flair in WWE, whether that be the early 90s or his 2000s run, he was always going to be an NWA/WCW guy. The proof of that is if you compare Flair '89-'90 to Flair in his WWE run in '91-'93, it's obvious that he was forced to not just tone down his character but also dial back his athleticism and abilities, because only Randy Savage gave him a near-great match. He had to slow down, be more methodical, and bringing cheap heat (ie, begging) in his WWF first run so that Hogan and others could look good against him. Yes, he wrestled Bret Hart, and those matches could've been near-great but for whatever reason they were only good. Then again Ric has said he was having issues with his balance, so his timing was off and regrets not giving Bret great matches at that time in WWE. There's nothing wrong with that, but there's a universe of difference between the New York brand of wrestling and everywhere else, at least once upon a time. It's all basically similar these days. Unfortunately, a guy like Sting just wouldn't work in the WWE (RAW/SMACKDOWN) but probably would in a NXT format. While I will admit to thinking about dream matches back in the day, they only work when you allow both competitors and companies keep their mystique. It'd make zero sense to have prime Goldberg or prime Austin to get the win over one another, had that WCW/WWE clash happened. Think NWA (Flair) versus WWWF (Backlund) where both men went to a draw, neither losing face, and neither brand was tarnished. A guy like Sting, in a WWE atmosphere, should've been a one-off thing. Just my opinion. Unfortunately crossover events rarely ever happen anymore, and I miss that about the territories because you saw different champions square off every once in a while. Jesus bless you all 😊

I watch 7+ hours of wrestling a week. NXT (2), AEW Dynamite (2), MLW (1), NWA (1) and AEW dark (1).

Starts at 3:35.

I normally agree with Eric, but his thoughts on Mox are tough to listen to. He has great mic skills, charisma and his new fighting style, hit all three phases. He is a mix of Jericho meets stone cold meets Piper meets jake the snake with bad boy roc and roll. Just sounds like Eric bever saw Mox in the indies b4 wwe or new Japan. His run in AEW just started, characters are developing, he is a tweener loose cannon type. Eric you had Steve Austin and then fired him, honestly how many dimensions did he have in your eyes b4 he got injured?

Sting was absolutely wasted in wwe. Pathetic. Made me ill

wtf selling how to breathe now Ive heard it all

I'm sorry I don't agree with the Ascension bashing I think the gimmick needed work but I'm a few years older than Conrad the late '80s and all through the 90's was my fandom I loved LOD Demolition The Undertaker Foley even Pappa Shango I don't know I just like the darker over the top gimmicks Ministry was my jam The Ascension had potential that's all I'm sick of seeing Joe Smith vs Bob Jones and next up 2 guys vs the dreaded 2 other guys

It's one thing to have nWo vs DX at WM 31 but why couldn't it manifest further. Have Sting side with DX and Triple H side with nWo.

Biggest mistake of Stings career.It only validated his belief that WWE would try to bury him.

People waiting for Sting/Undertaker for 15 years - Let's book a match nobody has ever asked for just so HHH can have another manufactured high profile match. Sting since his WCW/Early TNA days talked about two matches, Rock and Taker. The commentary during the match was embarrassing, the presentation of the nWo and DX was comical as DX were never even close at any point to the nWo's impact and influence. Some of the spinoff nWo groups were bigger than the full DX stable. I actually liked the lay out of the match, the pops for the groups coming out. Until HHH won...The forced handshake afterwards and the commentary during it, made it impossible to enjoy it. Before Rollins unsafely injured him there were some great moments with Sting debuting, some of the RAW appearances and the WM debut. But ultimately was ruined by out of touch politics forcing a narrative nobody cares about in a match that wasn't a top priority to most viewers. Especially with Taker working a throwaway match on the same show.

They tried to ruin the Sting Character I hate WWE with that b*******

Lmao..conrad talking about being poor. He was a little rich kid. His family had millions. He had a driver. Inherited his wealth and business. He doesnt know what 1 day of hard life is. Of being poor or middle class is.

It's a shame all those commercials were interrupted by the podcast .... always skipped those parts to learn more about breathing, trimming hair and, of course, the fact that everbody hates Steven Singer! I know podcasts (and the participants salaries) have to be paid for, but this is becoming almost unbearable

Should never have went to the wwe. They always bury WCW legends. They'll do the same to AEW next.

Eric's so wrong re Roman. It has nothing to do with the push. Roman is just dull, therefore the more the crowd saw him the more they realised what a nause he is.

I hate it that they start out the show talking for 20 minutes

I love Brock Lesnar as Champion.

Sting avoided Wwe during the Attitude era because he is a born again Christian

Maybe some more ads next week Conrad. Not that many this week, were there? I could probably take it better if you weren't so disingenuous, with regards to the products.

Health IQ is misleading. Having been in the business for 30 years, rates are all about the data, height weight, maintenance meds, and the blood. The runner/in amazing shape via lifestyle choices always get the better rate specifically because of the data. Health IQ is nothing new

John Cena wasn't the "next Hulk Hogan", he was the original "Roman Reigns". Let's stop pretending that dude was a mega star. He was a machine made attempt to manufacture another wrestling boom period.... He failed, by the way. He was never that caliber. Sorry kids.

calling Kane intelligent is funny considering he’s a grown adult that’s still in his Libertarian phase that most people grow out of
