Should Sting take on Triple H at Royal Rumble?

[the madscotsman]

Since it is planned for Sting to take on Undertaker at Wrestlemania, I believe they should have Sting take on Triple H at Royal Rumble after last night at Survivor Series. This would give the younger fans who are not familiar with Sting to see him in action before Wrestlemania.

No, but he probably will, and don't be surprised if the match happens at Mania instead: HHH ego comes before intelligent booking.

^^ It's WWE man. They have no idea on how wrestling is anymore tbh.

Someone will have to dethrone Lesnar anyway, and it would look better if it was Sting than anyone else tbh.

Yes but I don't want it to be a clean win, which is what would be needed in this case. When Lesnar finally goes down it needs to take a small army. The only truly good outcome I could see is if Undertaker takes it away from him.

Triple H has just enough of an ego to think that he is the next guy to be the big draw at 'Mania like Undertaker was. He seems to forget that Undertaker achieved that legendary status by going UNDEFEATED at Wrestlemania for twenty years. Regardless, I can see Triple H matches happening every year at 'Mania one way or another. Will Sting face him? I don't know. Honestly, I'm not sure that Survivor Series was a sign of things to come at all. It could have been a one-off, where Sting looked good and didn't look weak. You could tell by looking at him that physically he isn't back to prime shape. I don't know if he could hold up to a match with the Game.

I think sting looked the same as he has looked for about 15 years and the same as I would expect him too. He found religion around the nwo era and I think he got off steroids at the same time. He started losing alot of muscle around that time, 97-98, and hes looked about the same ever since.

Personally I dont think the streak meant anything, but from a storyline perspective what would it accomplish to beat the man that finally beat him? That just makes taker 21-1 which still takes away the greatness and makes lesnars win insignificant.

^^ Lesnar's win will never be insignificant. Not even if Taker won the strap from him at the next WM. I understand it might feel that way for a WWE fan, but the truth is that WWE doesn't know shit about Wrestling's unwritten laws and ethics. And they don't know how to tell a proper storyline anymore. That's the main reason most WWE fans didn't like the decision to end the streak. Calloway's legacy will never be erased just because of that loss. We have been talking about it for years, and I do think everyone knew the streak would end one day. It would be stupid not to, because it would be way to obvious having Taker beat everyone. I for one are surprised people was so excited for his match at WM every year. Everyone knew he would win anyway. Taking all the tension away from his matches.

In the space of two lines you say that everyone knew that the streak would end and then you say everyone knew that he would always win, how does that make sense? The streak is probably the most over rated thing in wwe storylines ever, 15 wins against scrubs doesnt make a legacy.
