10 Wrestling Storylines Where Evil Won
9. Triple H Vs. Sting
The end to the Sting Vs. The Authority storyline was inexplicable because it didn't logically follow the established premise.
At Survivor Series 2014, Sting debuted for WWE as the very last hold-out, the ultimate outsider. So entrenched was Sting as the enemy that he debuted as the vigilante with a calling to dismantle the corrupt system once and for all. After a wild, twisting main event, Sting took Triple H down with the Scorpion Death Drop to equalise the interference and restore justice. Sting couldn't join WWE without first saving it. There was a certain poetry to the angle informed by years of history converging. It was a good storyline.
WWE changed it, nonsensically, at the eleventh hour.
Sometime ahead of WrestleMania, the big brains of WWE seemed to work themselves into a shoot. "The f*ck's this guy's problem? We're the best!" they said, growing annoyed by the...scripted events they themselves penned.
At WrestleMania 31, suddenly, Sting was the embodiment of WCW fighting the last battle of a war that ended 14 years prior. He was assisted on the battlefield by the nWo, with whom he'd quite famously feuded, and lost, because WWE is the f*cking best you face-painted southern yokel.
F*ck you.
