NEWS: Scott Hall Speaks on Sting Losing at WrestleMania 31
NEWS: Sports Illustrated recently interviewed former WWE star Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) and Hall held nothing back including some controversial comments about Sting's role at WrestleMania 31. Hall stated the following:
"You need to remember that Vince is never going to go with something he didn’t create. But we didn’t get anything done at the rehearsal the night before, so WrestleMania day, there were tents in the parking lot set up with rings for rehearsal. So we’re all in there again, and I’m next to Hulk on the ring apron and Triple H is going over the match and then he goes, ‘OK, he’ll break the sledgehammer, then I’ll hit him with the sledgehammer, and cover him, 1-2-3.’ I looked at Hulk, and Hulk looked at me, and I was thinking, ‘Sting, what kind of lawyer do you have, bro? You’re coming in the door doing a job? You weren’t even guaranteed to go over?’ That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”
Hall mirrors many in the WWE Universe who share a similar sentiment. It never made much sense for Sting to take the loss at WrestleMania, especially not to Triple H, a wrestler who is no longer actively wrestling and does not need momentum. Perhaps creative thought it was enough to keep Sting strong by defeating him after he was hit with the sledge hammer or perhaps this is as Scott Hall insinuates, another way for Vince McMahon to declare a Monday Night War victory by sticking yet another nail into WCW's coffin.
