Sting Debuts In WWE Four Years Ago Today
It was on this day in history when Sting made his (very) long-awaited debut in WWE at Survivor Series 2014 as he and Triple H began the build for their showdown at WrestleMania 31 in San Francisco. The Icon would then later continue on in a feud with Seth Rollins over the WWE Championship until getting injured during a buckle bomb spot in the main event at Night of Champions. Sting said the following about the injury and Seth Rollins’ talent on Bill Apter’s Apter Chat Podcast (credit to Fightful for the transcription):
“It was just a freak accident. I’m telling you, Seth, it is not his fault.” Sting said.”I mean not even in the slightest percentage of anything. It was without question, it was me, and to this day I cannot figure out what the heck I was thinking. My neck whip-lashed back really bad two times in a row and the second one… the first one caused the shock to go down all the way down both arms – left and right all the way to my fingertips where it felt like my fingertips were stung by bees, and then the second one, I got up to my feet and we were trying to continue the match and my legs started to feel like rubber bands and I realized I don’t have control over my legs. I’m afraid that if I start running the ropes right now, I’m gonna blow my knee out, break a bone, tear everything up because I didn’t have any control so I went down on all fours, and tried to figure out what the heck is going on, and, so, it wasn’t his fault.”
“He did nothing. I mean, yeah, period, just end of the story, and then what do I have to say about Seth? He dressed up like me for Halloween. I’m flattered, I have bragging rights. This was my last match against one of the greatest really. He’s gonna do down as one of the greatest wrestlers. He is extremely talented in the ring and very easy. He’s just a pleasure to work with in every way and so accommodating, so respectful. I mean he just wanted to make it right and so did I, and to say that I had my last match with WWE for the World Title against Seth Rollins, I’m bragging, this is good, and I’m glad that I can say I went out like that.”
