A> With Hogan as GM, decent feuds between Roode, Storm and AA, Gut Check, Open Fight Night, and a host of under used md-carders, the Stinger is not required full time.
B> His value, as others said, is to be there for the big pops, to get the audience excited.
C> Trying to sell your home-grown young talent as true stars is difficult if they can't beat a 50 year old.
D> Sting doesn't need the TNA title. He's their HoFer, and the title is unimportant at this stage of his career.
E> Use sparingly, to put over rather than bury talent, Stinger has a few years left in him. But as a weekly wrestler, his body and his draw is going to suffer and in the end, emabarress both the company and him.
I would love for them to have a huuge a huge retirement feud (ala Flair v HBK) and allow Sting to pass the torch and leave with his legacy intact.
