its ironic in that he finally joined the company, but still doesn't get put over. the wwe,and especially triple h's ego wouldn't allow it. I also thought jbl's commentary was dreadful. he was probably getting fed those lines by vince in the back.

then what was up with the handshake in the end? it made absolutely no sense. there will be no rematch. you don't shake the guy's hand if you were to work a rematch angle.

I highly doubt HHH's ego had anything to do with the outcome (maybe, MAYBE, it had a little to do with the fact that another loss would've make HHH 0-3 at WM). It was the logical way to go, for a few reasons:

- Sting is not here to stay, he's at the end of his career and has absolutely nothing to prove anymore;

- everyone expected him to win, so they did what few expected;

- the handshake was a sign of respect, had nothing to do with rematches or whatever. He did the same thing with Taker at wm 28, and there was no rematch after.

 

JBL's commentary was exactly what you would expect from him, and that's controversial.

Sting did the right thing by agreeing to loose, in my opinion.

The handshake made zero sense. Unless they address it tonight.

Well if you think about it, nWo on Sting's side made 0 sense too, so... :)

JBL's commentary is the only good part of the current commentary, Maggle!

no no, I usually love jbl's commentary. I get the whole heel commentary thing, but just in that match, I felt the comments were juvenile quality, and he probably was told to say those things.

and it was great seeing hall repaying the fans that paid for his new hip by taking that bump

didnt sting say the reason he was back had nothing to do with wwe vs wcw. it was about taking down the authority? if the match was booked as that, and the handshake at the end happened, id have no problems with it. but what did we get? nwo vs dx(wcw vs wwe). the whole wwe killed wcw bragging,and that's why I didn't like the finish.

It's a damn shame that the WWE product can't be this good throughout the year. It's almost like they save the good stuff just for WrestleMania and the RAW immediately after because of the crazy crowd!

 

EDIT: lol, just saw this tweet that pretty much sums it up! :p

Agreed. The line about Starrcade and "we win again" were especially obvious that he was being fed those lines.

 

Also agree with the handshake thing, that made no sense. When someone cheats to beat you (like hitting you with a sledgeheammer!), i wouldn't be shaking their hand. Probably was off script though. And was that even a no DQ match?

And was that even a no DQ match?

I assumed it was when Lilian Garcia said the only ways to win were pinfall or submission; didn't say it was no-DQ, but it implied that, and I'm pretty sure the commentators said it was when DX came out.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
