Vince says WWE took Sting from "obscurity" to Wrestlemania

The caller asked about bringing in Sting for WrestleMania. "We took someone from obscurity and developed that character and made it important." Vince felt they were good at taking characters like that and putting them on a big stage.
This was during the conference call today. I should be baffled he would say this but Vince's delusion when it comes to WCW shouldn't surprise anyone anymore.

i might be reading what you typed totally wrong...if so forgive me but

go back to the night WWE aired the 2k spot with Sting and the crowd went nuts. Listen to the live crowd reaction. Sting needed to be on a big stage but people know who sting is.....

Fucking forget TNA, everybody outside of McMahon's house thinks of Sting as a legend.

I can't believe he would say this out loud. I'm just speechless at such idiocy.
Honest to god, if I could, I would take a sledgehammer to both Vince and his idiot son in law. And I guarantee it wouldn't be that styrofoam toy.

He thinks they developed his character? How delusional is that man? He should be locked away! Giving Sting a shitty new entrance theme equals development? They took the crow character straight out of Bischoff's playbook. The only "accomplishment" lies in them making it intensely boring.

Nobody knows Sting for TNA, TNA is not even a factor. Even without TNA, Sting would be relevant today, Vince you prick!

Yeah, I'd bet money that most fans watching had no idea he was in TNA, or what TNA is, or if they do, simply don't care in any way about TNA. Using the word "obscurity" is pretty ridiculous though. People knew who Sting was before WWE started doing packages on him, his name was still semi-relevant.

This is just Vince doing his "lolVincewins" shit and acting like he controls the universe.

Agreed.. .I think that kind of statement is making it obvious that Vince is losing his marbles.

Now if Vince had said he though they "Rescued" him from obscurity (TNA) then it might have made more sense of a statement.

He's right. They took Sting from TN I mean obscurity and brought him to the big stage. He should won by Sting for 56 did well last night

WCW sure was relevant last night. And in the Monday Night Wars on the WWE Network, one of the key shows they used to sell it. And in all of those video packages and DVDs they keep selling.

WCW is dead, and it really shouldn't be relevant, but they keep making it that way.

Overall, I think Sting didn't need WCW or TNA to be relevant. Sting's a brand, people knew who he was in the 2K15 commercial, they knew who he was at Survivor Series, and they couldn't just let him be WWE Sting. He had to be Sting, WCW guy. That's pretty sad.

Wait, so people popping for every appearance was just random. People didn't know who he was til Vince made him a star? Really?!

Jesus Vince... shut your fucking mouth and retire you piece of shit.

I would love to hear what 'The Greatest Ever' Triple H has to say about Vince's comments.

Seriously.. the delusion in that family is ridiculous. They won the war because WCW sucked and Steve Austin, The Rock and to a lesser extent Mick Foley were just amazing at the time. I could have had a feud with The Rock and the crowd would have ate it up, such was his popularity.

I don't think he's wrong. WCW closed in 2001. That was 14 year ago. There is massive amount of the WWE's audience who never saw the 20th century. They are younger than 14. They had no clue who Sting was and they did develop it into an attraction for this event.

For people who are older and saw the 80s and/or 90s it seems like an odd statement. But it's really not if you take a step back and think about it. 2001 was a long time ago. There are hundreds of thousands of WWE fans who were not alive in the 90s.
