I wouldn't have had a problem with Sting losing last night if the last two matches weren't booked so obnoxiously in order to make Cena look vastly superior to Sting and Seth Rollins. Seth went through a long grueling match, lost to Cena cleanly, then received his finisher outside the ring after the match, then somehow he manages to beat Sting cleanly after that all transpired. I can appreciate that Sting got a title shot in the first place at his age but I still have a problem with the way it was booked. They could have at least spaced Seth's two matches apart a bit more in the card. WWE have just been milking his legacy to help sell PPV's and video games without actually treating him with the respect he deserves. Even the tag team win he got on Raw was mostly due to Cena's effort.
Again I have no problem with Sting putting over the younger guys but they've made him look so weak. If he beat Triple H at mania maybe this would all be easier to swallow as a Sting fan, but it just comes off as another attempt to make a legend from WCW look inferior to the top WWE guys.
On a slightly related note I heard that part of the reason Sting hasn't been wearing his trench-coat is because WWE don't want him wearing similar attire to The Undertaker. I guess they don't realize that their similar attire and gimmicks are a huge reason why so many people want to see a match between those two. It's just a dirt sheet rumor but it wouldn't surprise me with the way they treat legends from other companies like second class citizens.
What happened post-match if I may ask? I was so butthurt that I actually quit my stream lol. I was hoping Sheamus would come out then Sting would give him the scorpion deathdrop to sabotage Sheamus's cash-in out of his new-found respect for Seth Rollins. But I wouldn't be surprised if Seth just celebrated in the rings and that's how the PPV was closed out. So lame.
The only solace I took from last night was Jericho returning and seemingly teasing a heel turn. Jericho is my fave but the Y2J gimmick is dated by this point so I'm glad that he appears to be dropping it soon. Jericho from 2008-2010 is probably one of the best heels of all time. Hopefully we get to see him work a meaningful program or two before he retires.
