WWE Superstars React To Sting In WWE & His Influence

In an interview with WWE.com, several WWE superstars spoke about Sting’s career and his arrival in WWE. Here are highlights:

Big Show on Sting’s heroics: “To fight evil, sometimes you have to become evil. That was a brilliant move to embrace that darker side. You still knew the good Sting was there, the guy you grew up with and cheered for, the guy with the big smile. But you saw this other guy that had all this anger toward the nWo; he really exemplified a character that, in a superhero kind of way, could stand up at the plate and take everyone on by himself. A lone wolf kind of deal. And with the unique ways he would enter the ring, dropping down from the ceiling or blackouts before he would show up, he kept the element of surprise. I think the thing about Sting today is he hasn’t changed. Though his character has developed, the core value of who he is and what he represents hasn’t changed. He’s got a fan base from so many years of being someone you can depend on, kind of like John Cena. He’s been through so many trials and tribulations, and been able to stick to his guns. That’s what we respect in a hero.”

Booker T on Sting’s aura: “He’s an enigma. He’s mysterious and lurked in the shadows for many, many years. It’s an aura that draws you to him. Guys like that, they’re one of a kind. People have wanted to see him here in WWE for many years. I think people are intrigued by him. I think Triple H knows what he’s in store for. He’s conquered the business, putting himself in power as COO of a money-making company. That right there says a lot about his drive and determination. I don’t think he’s going to underestimate Sting. It’s going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. However, I know since 1998, when DX invaded Nitro, Sting has wanted to get even. WrestleMania’s going to be a war.”

Goldust on Sting’s influence: “Teaming with Sting was awesome, because he was larger than life. I was young and up and coming, and got great reactions with Sting, which was a lot of fun. [Teaming with Sting] let me see that you can do certain things to get reactions without having to overdo other things. He has lots of energy. As soon as he walked out there, he was The Stinger. He had everything. Triple H was [in WCW] when I was there. We were both young up-and-comers. Sting was a crafty veteran then, but now, so is Triple H. This is going to be very interesting to watch. It’s one of my top two matches to watch at WrestleMania.”
