In early , WWE began airing ads of a mysterious cloaked figure and the tagline "2. It turned out to be merely hyping the return of The Undertaker. TNA, of course, had to completely rip it off by promoting "3. A typical company might have had Sting's return be unique and then a slow build towards a Hardy match. Not TNA. Instead, right after his return hyped through the night as a "mystery" to fans , Sting defeated Jeff Hardy in less than five minutes for the TNA World Title.
Yes, no build whatsoever, Sting simply got the title back before a North Carolina audience. While the pop was good, the sudden change was jarring on the Immortal storyline. Hardy would immediately counter that the title change was unfair as he hadn't had time to prepare for Sting.
As the "owner" of TNA, Bischoff agreed and announced that Victory Road taking place just days later would feature Sting vs Hardy for the title as the main event. Note that TNA waited just days before the pay-per-view to announce the main event, leaving little time to hype up this attraction.
The entire show wasn't too bad, but the main event was the key. As Hardy's music played, there was a long silence as, for roughly 40 seconds, no one exited. Trying to get a buzz and get their name to be on the tongues of the Internet wrestling community. However, as more information comes to light, I feel there might now be something else to consider so I offer some more food for thought.
Who stands to gain from his questionable display on that Sunday? Who benefits the most from his very public "impaired" exhibition? His Wednesday hearing in North Carolina resulted in yet another continuance due to the district attorney's office waiting on evidence from the State Bureau of Investigation.
Eric was buying time for the inevitable match coming up. The match would then be changed to a No Disqualification match by Bischoff. A smart decision made on the fly. This was done to protect the match if it turned into a further disaster had Jeff Hardy done something stupid or used a weapon, got himself counted out, or anything else of that nature. A disaster was inevitable, but it was a matter of damage control.
But the match went on, anyway. The bell rang, and the match instantly stalled. Sting looked rightfully frustrated. Instead of locking up or getting the action started, Jeff teased that he would throw his shirt to the crowd.
This went on for too long, and Sting looked over it. The fans finally see some action as Jeff gets backed into the corner by Sting. Some blows are landed after as Sting hits Jeff a few times, and then it was straight into a Scorpion Death Drop for the finish. Jeff appeared to have attempted a kick out, but Sting held firm for the pin. Just like that, the match was finished. I was adamant about not bringing Jeff back.
And that was my idea, not because i wanted to hear it. Asked things should have been left to get to that point he said:. If you or anyone you know is struggling with any issues around addiction, you can follow this link to access some useful UK based resources.
