8 Wrestlers Who Didn't "Earn" Their World Title Shots
You think Sting doesn't deserve it? What about these guys?
The decision to run with Sting vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World championship at Night of Champions has drawn polarized responses from the wrestling fandom. Theres a segment of the audience who feel that Sting is undeserving of a WWE title shot because hes only had one match in the company, which was a high profile loss at WrestleMania to Triple H. Those same people also probably take wrestling a little too seriously, but nevertheless, their point is that in a business thats semi-presented as an athletic competition, championship opportunities should earned. The counterpoint to that argument? STING. WWE has spent the better part of the last 20 years reminding us that wrestling isnt real, so who are we to argue with them? Its too the point now where their own champions are actually using the line Wins and losses dont matter on live TV. Why put so much stock into someone earning a title shot if WWE themselves dont? Besides, it isnt like theres no precedent for this. In fact, some of the most iconic championship bouts in history featured challengers who hadnt battled their way into contention.
