We had a real estate agent here (Oregon) that would always dress up in a kilt and what not. You don't know comedy until you see a tiny Scotsman strutting through Walmart.

I could not agree more, this is an absolute truth and I think for myself personally the mockery that Vince has made of all things sacred (including but not limited to: marriage and it's sanctity, the value of human beings in general and especially--the last straw for me personally--Christianity and it's ability to show people a hope) has truly been the reason I don't really care for the E anymore... Good post, Jerod. |

I have been reading this thread since the beginning ...I haven't posted because my opinions are to strong on this subject for a written form...(I try not to be longwinded as some)....I am proud of Sting's stand....I know he has a "Christian" book out I might buy...And now that he has the platform (The Belt) he can use it wisely...or like VKM....I will be watching to see....How much TNA will let Sting do with that platform....BTW I think he could do away with the make-up altogether....

Besides just having a boring product this is another reason why I could not watch even if I wanted to. They've basically spit on all of the values that I consider important and shown Vince to be a very amoral person in and out of character. And like yourself, I backed WWE big time through the first half of the Monday night wars. I then switched to WCW because for a while it remained the type of wrestling show you could watch with your family, even if it wasn't top notch a lot of the time. |

I'm a Christian, and I am a wrestling fan. So this thread about Sting has captured my imagination and attention.
I actually like the initial direction of Sting as the champion. I am a fan of people finding something in their lives to give them direction, support and purpose. For some, it is religion, or family, or community. You wonder why so many pro athletes are proud of thanking Jesus, or Mom and Dad, or telling with pride where they come from? It's because it is their attempts to give thanks and praise to what keeps them strong, grounded and well rounded.
Sting using his faith to make him a better man and champion? I'm for that! I'd be for that if he was praising his wife and children, if he was praising Buddah, or if he was thanking his hometown. That's fine with me.
The problem I could see from this would be using a faith as just another prop. Granted, this adds to a storyline, and thus can already be considered a prop by some. But if the only reason that Sting is doing and saying these things is for a title run, I'll be disappointed. Faith is something you live 24/7/365, and with Sting, I know that to be true. I watched "Moment of Truth", and while it was one of the worst directed films I ever saw, I know in his voice and his actions that he walks the path everyday. If he is only going to express that in the ring for the sake of his current title run, I'll be disappointed. Not in Sting, but in TNA. And I won't blast TNA for it, as religion has never been something that wrestling has given good lip service to. I just like seeing a faith portrayed in a positive light, and I hope that this will be something we can see with Sting. God bless him!
Now, having read the rest of the thread...
Guys and gals, we have to step back a little bit. There is ALWAYS going to be someone out there who will attack your points. They may attack your last post point by point, or they may dismiss you as not knowing what you are talking about, or they make a crude comment at you. That is the nature of a chat room or online forum. If we didn't have opinions, we wouldn't type anything.
I only ask as nicely as possible to not make things personal. When I first started posting, Swarm and I used to go back and forth, and I took it personal. But when I took the time to read into his posts, and spent time talking with him at Galacticon, I got a better understanding of where he was coming from. Now, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the guy and even though we don't always agree on points, that's fine. Because Swarm and Mr. Jimmyface and Canadian Pittbull and P-Hate will never have the same opinion on something, but at the end of the day, I am fine with that and look forward to seeing where the posts go from there.
If a post makes you want to immediately slam someone in type, take a few and chill out. If a post is one you think is out of line, let the moderator know and express your feelings to them.
This board is a great forum for us to have fun with - keep that in mind, and you will have a lot of fun with this place!
