Sting Interview: Talks Slammiversary, Faith, Says People Are Still Nostalgic For The Sting, Hogan and Flair

TNA Wrestler Sting was recently interviewed by Jim Varsallone of The Miami Herald. Below is a quick recap:

On his Slammiversary Title Match:

“Well, that is definitely my belief, yes. It’s another opportunity for me to wrestle for that [TNA] world title and the stipulations are pretty high. So it’ll be a big night for me, no matter how you look at it.”

On Bully Ray:

“Bully Ray’s been pretty impressive. He’s done a great job; that’s for sure. He’s figured it out. A lot of times guys, who’ve been in the tag team situation for that many years, it’s hard for them to transition into singles. A lot of them who have tried have never really successfully done it, but Bully Ray has found a niche and a way, and he has done a good job.”

His current goals:

“After all the year I’ve been doing this, I want [TNA] to be a good product. I want wrestling fans to be satisfied. I want to please people. The overall goal is to be entertaining -- to keep people very interested in tuning into TNA.”

on not retiring from pro wrestling:

“I know there’s some negativity out there as ell, but for the most part, it’s the whole nostalgia thing that I keep talking about. Retro fans just don’t want to say good-bye to Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair or Undertaker or Sting,” he said. “There’s only a handful of my generation. Of course, Flair and Hogan, they’re the generation before me. They don’t want to say good-bye to the last remaining few, and that’s a good thing for me, a good thing for us, and I appreciate it. I’m grateful for it.”

On advice he gives to the younger wrestlers:

“Stay away from drugs, pills and alcohol. Stay away from the women. Stay away from the politics -- the behind the scenes stuff that goes on,” Sting said. “Just get out there and entertain. Work your butt off, take care of yourself in and out of the ring and turn to God.

“That was a huge part of my wrestling career, turning to God. If I didn’t, I probably would have ended up like one of those guys who you’ve read about.

“I’ve had wrestlers over the years, many of them, including last week [Impact Wrestling at the USF Sun Dome] in Tampa, one of the biggest names talking to me about God and asking me questions. There’s a reason for it. They know I was them. In other words, I’m not going to condemn anybody or point my finger at anyone. I ran with the best of ‘em and did what I did all those years on the road, and they know it.

“They have seen a change in me, and they ask, ‘How’d you do it?’ And I tell them how I did it. Some of them have been in and out of so many different types of trouble and rehabs. I’m there to try to be a rock solid sounding board for some of the guys, and that’s been a good thing.”

On the creation Of The 'Crow Sting' Character:

"I’m going to go down in history as one of my characters being the Crow Sting, but it actually started with Eric Bischoff, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall [in WCW] with one of their nWo vignettes, an edgy, brainy kind of deal. Wrestling was changing, and my character hadn’t changed, but I knew it was time to do that. I was sitting in a hotel in Casper, Wyoming. I was with Eric Bischoff and Scott Hall, and Scott said, [Sting impersonates Scott Hall -- not bad], ‘I’m thinking trenchcoat and put white paint all over your face.’ So I started thinking about it.

“I remember going through an airport, and you know how the magazine stand has a 100 magazines. Well, there was Marilyn Manson of all people on one of the covers, and he had this weird looking paint on his face, and I went, ‘Wooooh.’ So I kind of took a little bit of that and then just created what I created.”

We’re past Extreme Rules and the main story is of course HHH. He collapsed at the end of Raw while Curtis Axel was laying in the ring with no one paying a bit of attention to him, so odds are we’ll hear about getting an update on him on Raw tonight. Other than that we have Del Rio confirmed as the #1 contender for Ziggler whenever Dolph is healthy again. Let’s get to it.

We open with a recap of the HHH/Heyman stuff from both Extreme Rules and Raw. We also get a little bit about Shield winning three belts as tonight it’s Kofi vs. Ambrose for the US Title.

Here’s the Miz for MizTV to open the show. Miz says that he’s versatile because he’s going to host this show and then he’ll win back the Intercontinental Title soon after. The guest tonight is Fandango who thankfully brings Summer Rae with him. Before Miz can ask him a question, Fandango stops him for the correct pronunciation of his name. Miz counters with some “reallys” and shows us a clip of the tag match from Raw where Fandango stopped for a dance.

Miz wants to know how obnoxious Fandango is. Fandango threatens to dance all over the face of anyone who comes near Summer before questioning Miz’s own ego. Miz says that Fandango looks like a dancing bag of Skittles which isn’t too far from accurate. The fans chant bag of Skittles, making Miz declare Fandango the new Fruity Pebbles. This brings out Wade Barrett with his horrible new music.

Barrett says he’ll get to Miz in a minute but first of all he’s angry at Fandango for tiptoeing through the tulips instead of being Barrett’s partner. Wade threatens Fandango if he ever does that again, so Fandango corrects his pronunciation. Miz says Barrett needs to focus on him because Miz has a title shot later tonight. Barrett punches Miz in the face and the brawl is on. Fandango and Summer leave as a referee comes out to break it up.

Intercontinental Title: The Miz vs. Wade Barrett

This is joined in progress after a break with Miz challenging. Fandango is also sitting in on commentary. Miz fights out of a chinlock and hits a flapjack, only to be taken down by a back elbow. Fandango says that he had to go to the back on Monday because his glitter was coming off. Barrett puts Miz on the top rope for a kick to the ribs for two and it’s off to a chinlock.

Back up and Miz hits a running knee lift and a bit boot. Fandango asks JBL to hit his music because apparently Bradshaw can do that. It’s time for some dancing as well as for the Winds of Change to Miz for two. Miz gets two of his own off a rollup before hitting a baseball slide to Fandango. A dropkick takes out Barrett’s knee but Fandango kicks Miz in the head for the DQ at 2:56 shown. This was angle advancement and barely a match at all.

Result: The Miz b. Wade Barrett via DQ when Fandango interfered (2:56)

Daniel Bryan is muttering to himself in the back when Kane comes in. He says that they both lost the titles, which Bryan interprets as Kane blaming him. Bryan insists that he isn’t the weak link as his paranoia continues.

Jack Swagger vs. Daniel Bryan

No entrance for Swagger again. Bryan goes right at Swagger and pounds away before sending Jack to the floor for the suicide dive. He fires off kicks to the chest against the barricade before taking it back inside for a near fall off a missile dropkick. Jack takes Bryan down off of a clothesline before putting him in the Tree of Woe for some knees. We take a break and come back with the two of them colliding before Bryan hits a running kick to the face in the corner.

More kicks to the chest have Jack in trouble and a running kick to the face gets two. Swagger finally catches one of the kicks in a high angle belly to belly for two of his own. Daniel rolls out of a gutwrench suplex but gets caught in the Patriot Lock, only to be rolled through for another near fall. The Vader Bomb hits knees and a HARD kick to Swagger’s head sees Bryan not cover but rather stomp Swagger even more. There’s the NO Lock for the tap out at 9:06.

Result: Daniel Bryan b. Jack Swagger – NO Lock (9:06)

Post match Bryan beats on him even more. The referee mentioned something about reversing the decision but no official announcement was ever made.

We get a package of stills from the last man standing match on Sunday. Cena will be back on Raw.

We also get all the Ryback stuff from Monday with him challenging for an ambulance match and throwing Ryder in the ambulance.

Here’s Damien Sandow in the ring wearing a suit. There’s a table in front of him and as usual, he seems annoyed. Sandow talks about seeing two people compete in a series of stupid competitions, ranging from a tug of war to arm wrestling to a truck pull. Tonight, Sandow wants them to deal with some mental issues. There’s a tied up rope on the table and we hear the story of the Gordian Knot. Sandow has Matt Striker try to untie the knot while making fun of the education system when Striker can’t do it.

Cue Sheamus who makes fun of Sandow’s hobby of playing with knots. Sheamus talks about playing with Rubic’s Cubes as a kid before picking up the knot. He tries to untie it but Sandow gets impatient. Damien pulls out a pair of bolt cutters and hacks it up. Sheamus tries a Brogue Kick but Damien bails to the floor, shouting I KNEW IT! Instead Shaemus offers to teach him about Newton’s Law, which means he throws Striker through the ropes at Sandow. Your lesson of the night: when you get outsmarted, throw human beings.

Chris Jericho vs. Big Show

That’s a pretty fast recovery from Orton’s punt. Jericho charges straight at Big Show for some reason as Matthews compares Jericho to Johnny Depp. JBL: “Johnny Depp never has been been inside a WWE ring and neither has Jay Silverheels or Tonto.” Show shoves him down with ease and catches Jericho in a bearhug. He lets it go for no apparent reason, allowing Jericho to dropkick Show’s knee out and pound away, only to be caught by a spear for two. Jericho escapes the chokeslam attempt and goes up, only to jump into a loud chop to the chest.

Show goes to the middle rope but misses an elbow drop, allowing Jericho to hit the Lionsault for two. The Codebreaker is countered into a sunset flip attempt but Show pulls him up with a chokeslam, only to be pulled down by a DDT for two. The Walls are easily shoved away and there’s the chokeslam but Jericho rolls to the floor. Jericho escapes a ram into the post by sending Show into the post himself. Jericho hits a decent Codebreaker to send Show into the timekeeper’s area which is good for a countout win for Jericho at 6:30.

Result: Chris Jericho b. Big Show via countout (6:30)

Post match Big Show picks up a chair but Jericho kicks it out of his hands and beats Big Show with it for fun.

The Raw ReBound is the introduction of Curtis Axel and the match with HHH, followed by HHH collapsing.

Here are Heyman and Axel with something to say. Heyman brags about his success with Lesnar and Punk and now he’s pointing his finger at Axel. Curtis himself gets to speak and says that in one night, he accomplished more than his father and grandfather ever accomplished. He took HHH’s best shot and then left him laying. Curtis says that he won on Monday and says his name a few more times. That was just day one and tonight is day two.

Curtis Axel vs. Sin Cara

This is joined in progress after the break with the stupid lights back again. Sin Cara spines out of a fireman’s carry before firing off some kicks. A standing rana takes Curtis down and there’s the wrist drag out of the corner. Curtis throws Cara to the apron and stomps away in the corner. Randy Orton is talking about Curtis Axel RIGHT NOW on the WWE App. Cara comes back with the Tajiri handspring elbow and a crossbody for two. A top rope version of the crossbody misses though and the formerly known McGillicutter (running one arm neckbreaker) gets the pin on Cara at 3:00 shown.

Result: Curtis Axel b. Sin Cara – McGillicutter (3:00)

US Title: Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose

Kofi is challenging of course. Dean goes it alone on this one and seems to have some fans on his side. Kofi fires off some kicks and right hands but gets taken down by a fast shoulder block. Back up and Kofi gets no count off a dropkick before getting taken down by another shoulder. Ambrose chokes with his leg on the mat but Kofi fires off more dropkicks. A middle rope ax handle gets two on Dean but as Kofi goes up top he has to dive on Reigns outside. Roman and Seth come in for the DQ at 2:30.

Result: Kofi Kingston b. Dean Ambrose via DQ when Shield interfered (2:30)

Post match Shield beats on Kofi until Sheamus and Randy Orton make the save. If you’re a Smackdown fan, you know the drill from here.

Kofi Kingston/Randy Orton/Sheamus vs. Shield

Joined in progress again with Sheamus slamming Reigns down for two. Off to Orton for some headbutts to Rollins and right hands in the corner. Kofi comes in to work on the arm for a bit before it’s back to Randy to crank on the arm as well. Rollins finally gets in a knee to the face and makes the tag off to Ambrose who takes the US Champion down with ease. A knee rake across the face allows for the tag back to Sheamus but Ambrose gets in a shot to the ribs.

Back to Rollins who pounds away in the corner, only to get caught in mid air off a middle rope cross body. Reigns and Ambrose have to save their partner from the ten forearms to the chest as we take a break. Back with Ambrose hitting a knee to Sheamus’ ribs before it’s back to Reigns for stomps in the corner and a lot of trash talk. Sheamus fights out and avoids a charge from Reigns, sending him shoulder first into the post. Hot tag brings in Orton for all his favorites, including the Elevated DDT.

Ambrose bails to the floor to avoid the RKO and Reigns gets in a shot to Orton. Reigns comes up limping though, which is apparently a legit ankle injury. Back in and Rollins pounds on Orton before it’s back to Dean for a front facelock. Rollins comes in again for some right hands to the head as this is basically a handicap match now. Randy gets in a right hand but gets caught in a downward spiral into the middle buckle to put him right back down. Orton comes back with more right hands and snaps off a quick superplex to put both guys down.

The hot tag brings in Sheamus to face Ambrose (Reigns didn’t have his hand out but was instead waving Rollins over to Ambrose) and house is cleaned. Even Reigns takes a shoulder to the ribs before Ambrose is hit with the rolling senton into the forearms to Rollins’ chest. Reigns breaks up White Noise on Dean with a spear but rolls to the floor for an RKO from from Orton. Kofi comes in and gets two on Dean, but it’s Rollins tripping Kingston up, allowing Dean to hit the bulldog driver for the pin at 15:18.

Result: Shield b. Randy Orton/Sheamus/Kofi Kingston – Bulldog Driver to Kingston (15:18)

Who Worked As Suicide at the Impact Tapings?
Posted by Steve Carrier on 05/23/2013 at 11:59 PM

At tonight's TNA Impact Wrestling tapings, former ROH star TJ Perkins was the one who portrayed Suicide, so it would appear he will be in regularly as that character.

As noted earlier, Kazarian, Chris Daniels and Kiyoshi had portrayed the character at different points. The character was created as a tie-in for the first TNA videogame produced by Midway Games.
