For once, I did not read the spoilers for a TNA Impact episode. This time, I wanted to anticipate the excitement and whatever surprise the man called Sting has to deliver. The hypes of commercials on Spike made me hold back.
It's been 5 years since his last appearance in the ring. The rock and roll music blasted from the speakers and out comes the icon. Dressed in his customary smooth, slick, black jacket, Pat Riley slicked hair, pantened black w/lightning strike gloves, Louisville Slugger bat, and of coursethe black and white modified Crow paint face. The crowd is going insane over just seeing the presence of this phenom. Much respect to the, "You still got it" chants still anticipating what the Stinger has to say. Segment lasts less than 10 mins and they give him a total of four (maybe more) different chants. Only to hear him say that Final Resolution was his final resolution to say good bye to the fans. Everyone is shocked but then an immediate "Please don't go" chant starts up. Gotta love the TNA fans. You can see he is trying not to shed tears (this does not appear to be a "work" and could very well be the last time to see the appearance of this legend). No surprise interruptions/attacks and that's that. What a class act. My hero when I first saw him in the ring probably 12-15 years ago and till today's possible final broadcast. All that remained was the Louisville Slugger. I will never, eeeeever forget Showtime.
Update: Reading the wrestling board, I now hear that this is a "work", but hot damn, thats some great acting. Oh happy day. It's showtime!!
