10 Wrestlers That Pissed Off The Fans
4. Sting
Come on, people. Don't disrespect Sting's great name.
It's Sting.
Sting is responsible for so many of our collective childhood memories, and even if you're one of these weird fans who started watching in 2011 and think that The Miz is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, understand that no-selling moves rules in the correct context.
On the August 8 Dynamite, Darby Allin and Sting defeated 2.0 who, it should not go without mention, are an immensely entertaining prelim act that aren't meant to be taken too seriously as a threat. They sh*t-talk their way into matches, cheat their way into the advantage, but because they're d*ckhead chancers, they eat sh*t in the end. That's the act. The act rules. The act functions to make babyfaces look like vengeful badasses.
Sting looked like a vengeful badass when, after being put through a table, he immediately popped back up and kicked ass. It was an awesome moment that worked because rational fans know that certain smoke and mirrors are required to accentuate the Sting act; great as he still somehow is, this sort of spot elevates him to true living legend status.
A lot of cry-arses had a moan that a table should be treated more seriously, as if the next table spot was going to be somehow ruined. North American TV wrestling has tried to snuff out the table spot for at least two decades.
It's never not going to be over, calm down.
