8 Times TNA Tried To Be WWE
3. Sting Rips Off Undertaker's Vignettes
In WWE in 2011, a series of video vignettes were shown to viewers depicting a mysterious figure in a long black coat walking in a sinister fashion through the rain, and concluding with a date appearing on the screen in flaming text: 2.21.11 - February 21st 2011.
Naturally it referred to the Undertaker’s return for upcoming WrestleMania storylines, which this year involved a challenge from Triple H.
Literally only one week after the Undertaker returned to WWE television, TNA broadcast a vignette showing a mysterious figure in a long black coat walking in a sinister fashion through the rain, and concluding with a date appearing on the screen in flaming text: 3.3.11 - March 3rd 2011.
Watch the videos. The resemblance is absolutely hilarious. Funnily enough, some of the people speculating about the WWE’s version said that it could be Sting debuting for the WWE after all these years. It turned out, however that the return of Sting was in fact what the TNA video was about.
