Sting:

Criminal Property Damage First Degree for throwing a brick through the window of a car (10 years max)
Attempted Assault Second Degree for throwing the brick (Deadly weapon, 5 years max)
Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer Second Degree for shoving the cop (1 year max)
Unauthorized Control of a Propelled Vehicle for stealing the cop car (5 years max)
Theft Second Degree for stealing the cop car (5 years max, no way that car is worth more than $20K)
Robbery Second Degree for shoving the cop and then stealing the cop car (10 years max)

Possible 36 years in prison for what happened in a 44 second video. Sting would most likely be sentenced to a concurrent 10 year term if he went to trial and lost (in a non-lovely jurisdiction).

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!


All of the Horsemen plus Dillon are guilty of

Kidnapping for tying Big Dus up to the truck with the intent to beat him savagely (20 years)
Assault I for beating him intending to cause serious bodily injury (10 years)
Possibly a conspiracy charge (5 years)

Not that bad compared to the other guys. It was pretty obvious they didn't mean to kill Big Dus, they were trying to send him a message and wanted him alive to understand it.

Probably because wrestling was huge at the time and they wanted a piece of it. They also made a figure of Chicago Bears star William "The Refrigerator" Perry. They were also going to do one for Rocky Balboa, but the deal fell through. They were also planning on licensing Big Van Vader to give Sarge a Cobra nemesis, but that too, didn't materialize.

The character of Rocky Balboa (Code Name: ROCKY) was incorrectly included as a member of G.I. JOE, in The G.I. Joe ORDER OF BATTLE, Issue #2 on page 10. ROCKY is not and has never been a member of G.I. Joe.

Did Sting wrestle at all, anywhere, during the 18~ months before Starrcade '97?

Has John Cena ever refused to work with someone, ala Stone Cold refusing to work with Jeff Jarrett?

After Fall Brawl 96 Sting worked house shows until the end of 96, and did a NJPW tour. He did maybe one match in 97 prior to Starrcade.

He did, but you're not wrong to think that his biggest angle ever involved him not wrestling or really doing much of anything.

In the back half of '96 he did PPVs and Nitro, but his appearances dwindled pretty quickly in the fall and winter. After one house show in early January '97, he didn't wrestle until Starrcade.

After a WrestleMania, I think; Punk, Bryan and Ryder all came out with their newly won belts to cut promos, as the people's chosen champions. Punk and Bryan gave heartfelt thanks and congratulations all around, and genuinely were great. Ryder basically just gave his catchphrase and nothing else.

I'm sure I'm leaving some things out but this is how it stuck in my head. To me, that's always how I'll see Ryder. Could he have been better with a sustained push and working with people that could elevate him? Maybe!

I think it was a lesser PPV (Survivor Series or even TLC), but here you go.

Your point remains: Bryan and Punk cut fun, thankful promos (this was around the beginning of dickhead boyfriend “YES YES YES” Bryan, but I believe he was face here), whereas Ryder immediately looked lost and cut a catchphrase promo that went over like a lead balloon. He was riding high on his Youtube show at the time too, so he had a lot of good will going with fans, but I think the non-reaction he got (plus resentment for getting over on his own) sealed his fate to being John Cena’s “lil buddy” in a Kane feud and losing the US title/his storyline GF like a month later.

Ryder is a decent midcard guy who can carry a belt if need be, but I don’t think he’s capable of being a main draw. He’s a prototype of sorts for NXT guys that followed and floundered (Enzo/Cass specifically); tons of charisma and fan-pull as a character, not much substance as a wrestler, and nothing good from Creative (or in Ryder’s case, a straight-up burial that he never recovered from). I think, even with a sustained push, he would have been a tired idea after 6 months and fans would’ve turned.

There was that incredible story about how they told Ryder to show up at Raw because there was a big thing planned for him, he did, he waited, he waited, and then it turned out it was a rib and creative had nothing for him. That's Ryder's WWE career

Official word is he asked for his release, but he did admit that he and Cena hated each other.

He used the Burning Hammer, but it was a really safe version where they pancake bump it. It looked like an inverted AA, basically.

He flipped them over and landed it like a DDT.

His story was he botched it at a show once and basically did an AA, and that's when Cena came to talk to him.

Yeah. Bryan was being humble over the fact that he lost every single match he was in. Tarver was trying to play it tough by saying that him being voted off would be an act of mercy for the other contestants. Both got kicked off the show for their answers.

Then in the finale, when they asked all the former contestants who should win between Barrett and Otunga, Tarver's answer was, "Me!"

He also had that kinda intimidating dust mask which made him super intimidating when the Nexus made their debut.
