If contrarian smarks wwh oare only interested in getting themselves and any fat wrestler that makes them believe in themselves over leave? A much more enjoyable product.
You're gonna pretend Sting wasn't one of the most popular wrestlers on THE PLANET???
Ok

Kid probably has never seen a wcw match

I grew up in the 90's and remember pretty clearly that if hogan weren't on wcw merch it was probably Sting.
Sting practically was WCW

Hey man, if I could get away with wearing body armour in any sort of physical combat sport (s entertainment), I'd be an idiot not to.
>>1055287
But nobody else does. It's dishonorable.
D'Lo wore it when he was a heel.
>>1055283
The only response in this thread is 'b..but Sting had an aura!'
Roman is only 30 and is already as good as Sting ever was. The only difference between the two is booking. Roman is a perfectly acceptable top guy.

>Roman is only 30 and is already as good as Sting ever was. The only difference between the two is booking. Roman is a perfectly acceptable top guy.
But he can't speak as well as Sting. His look doesn't suit his fucking gimmick at all. Why does he still wear the same SHIELD gear slightly re-packaged when he's completely different? Sting was forced to change his gimmick and he did it perfectly.
Why can't Roman speak?
Why can't the crowd get behind Roman? Why can't the crowd pop for Roman?
Face it, Roman is nowhere near Sting.
>>1055372
Sting couldn't speak for shit either. He wears the riot gear for same reason Sting wore face paint. It looks cool.
And the first time Sting spoke in over a year he insulted a man over his lack of balls. Roman is Sting.

Let's start with the basics.
90s Crow Sting
>Crowd popped big every time he was mentioned, let alone appeared
>Always got babyface reactions
Roman Reigns
>Crowds sometimes pop, sometimes give him heat, sometimes just play dead
>Decidedly mixed reactions
If you really think that Roman is as good as Sting ever was, then the only way to explain this is that WCW's booking then was more in touch with its audience than WWE's booking is in touch with its audience today.
Sting
>Big guy with great look.
>Great athlete
>Can do a dropkick
>Can do a gorilla press
>Super hyped and charismatic (though not when he's losing)
Roman
>Big guy with great look.
>Dave Meltzer: "Great athlete"
>Can do a powerbomb and fuck all else.
>Can't talk.
>Constantly looks lost and scared in everything he's in.
Roman's just not a main eventer, which is too bad. You hate to see a guy constantly embarrassed and btfo on tv but that's just the way it is.
Sting is genuinely one of the best talkers ever, you little fat idiot. Objectively - his inflections, his cadence, the charisma AND he was funny.
Was also always over, so whoever said that shit about riding the NWOs coat tails is probably a child too.

In what fucking world is Sting a "big guy," he MIGHT have been 6'1 20 years ago.
