7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Sept 14th)
6. A Trip Down Short-Term Memory Lane
Throughout the night, WWE smartly decided to play some of Stings biggest moments, such as beating Ric Flair for the NWA Heavyweight Championship in 1990, defeating Hollywood Hogan for the WCW title at Starrcade 1997 and crushing Seth Rollins statue last week. All in all, a handful of nice, historic NWA/WCW moments were shown, but the retrospective was marred by just jumping from 1997 to the present, and the last two moments in Stings career was showing up at Survivor Series 2014 (which was a big moment) and destroying Rollins prized statue. How that made the cut, well never know. Surely WWE could have figured that they already showed the statue-destroying moment earlier in the night and we didnt need to see it again. We could have gotten another classic WCW moment instead of a trash truck.
