TNA have there second tour of the U.K this January. This is a huge tour as all the arena's are going to have 10,000 plus capacities except one of them. All the major talent except Sting will be on the tour. Sting also refuses to work American house shows. With the money he is on, a lot of people have a bitter taste in there mouth about this. As current TNA World heavyweight Champion you would expect him to be on all the tours. Champions usually have to do more work than anyone, but not in this case. Sting does the least work.

I guess this begs the question. Is Sting worth the money? I personally like sting, and he was the one who got them on Spike T.V. But I do think he should do major oversea tours and Fanfest's at least.

Can you say "Goldberg" WWE wasted money on him, but was smart enough not to give him a title. Same thing with Sting I think TNA is finally realizing they made a mistake with him and is losing money because of it.. Because not being on TV much and showing to house shows or what ever promo they want to do, NO ONE shows up(fans). Fans come to see Sting, I've seen Sting live back in WcW days when they where taping 'Thunder' it was awsome, if anyone can take Hogans crown would be him minus Ric Flair, Flair is in a league of his own, I've seen Stings debut in NWA/WcW all the way to WCW's demise, and hoped he would sign with WWE just like the rest of the WCW roster at the time, but two things. His contract ran out before WcW was bought and his 'Religious' beliefs stopped him from going to WWE, well I'm glad they(WWE) didn't waste their money again. Don't get me wrong Sting is one of my fav. but he does need to go back to the sugar rush Venice Beach wrestler he was when he broke into the business... Oh and to add about Goldberg, The reason WWE signed him was to put the biggest dream match together of Stone Cold Vs. Goldberg, well we see where that went Goldberg Vs. Brock in a squash match at Wrestlemania with Stonecold as Ref... I was so mad at this match Goldberg beat Brock in less than 3 min. come on now a 3 min match at WRESTLEMANIA!!! sorry for getting off subject..

I think having him win the title again was a big mistake. The Main Event Mafia angle would work just as well with Angle as champ. He does most of the talking anyway.

I only watch impact so. house shows and world tours don't really have a personal impact on me. plus spike pays a good chunk of his contract not tna. Just be happy we get to see the stinger at all

Well, the man is 49, and has worked hard his entire life, neglecting his family (his youngest kid is 10). I'm happy I get to see my favourite wrestler ever at all, no matter if he doesn't want to do the house shows. If he wants to spend more time with wife and kids, I can respect that, not everybody has to be a Flair and tour until they're 60.

Nothing against Flair, but honestly he should have stopped earlier.
