Sting's Injury, Fan Run-Ins, the New Day and More from the Security Mailbag

Sting's career might be over after a scary moment during the closing sequences of his match against Seth Rollins. The sudden injury led to a rare clean victory by Rollins, albeit via a rollup. But was this the plan regardless of the injury?

Rollins Rollup a Fluke?

I tend to believe that was the planned finish, it just came earlier than expected due to the injury. After losing clean to Sting on the go-home Raw, only to lose clean to Cena at Night of Champions, Rollins needed a pinfall victory to regain credibility.

The booking lined up perfectly with WWE's oft-detrimental Even-Steven formula, so it didn't surprise me to see Rollins defeat Sting without outside interference or cheating.

A rollup victory is a cheap, heelish way to win, which fits Rollins' slimy character, so I have no problem with the elite wrestler in his prime going over an aging icon. Rollins' victory over Sting, while huge, isn't the career-making victory it seems to be on paper. This match will always be remembered for Sting's sudden health scare, especially if Sting never wrestles again.

As good as Rollins is, his otherwise brilliant mixture of physicality and finesse is beginning to earn him an unfavorable reputation of hurting other wrestlers.

Super Cena: Coming to a Live Comic Book Near You?

As dedicated as Stardust is to his character, it's beginning—or, better yet, continuing—to get downright ridiculous.

Stardust is now being booked as a character who is not of this world. Anybody who feuds with Stardust gets sucked into obscurity just to fight him.

For the Stardust character to truly succeed, WWE needs to book him to operate in the real word, not the other way around. A (never-going-to-happen) feud between Stardust and Cena would go nowhere if WWE took the "Super Cena" moniker literally.

A more simple feud of a madman juxtaposed against a clean-cut hero like Cena would create more magic than WWE's less subtle booking of Stardust ever would.

Question of the Week: Is New Day Among Greatest Stables Ever?

The New Day's body of work has to be finished and analyzed for quite some time to truly find out where they rank among the greatest stables of all time. But in terms of greatest stables of the modern era—beginning with the Attitude Era—they're way up there.

D-Generation X and NWO will always dominate this conversation, but the New Day gets points for being just as innovative and fresh. In the recyclable world of pro wrestling, the New Day introduced a new style of chanting, not to mention the heel trombone.

D-Generation X and NWO appropriated black culture to score pop culture points. As noted by B.J. Steiner of XXL, Nash spoke about how Tupac's popularity influenced his onscreen character during a recent episode of the Steve Austin Show.

The New Day is black culture.

Even through their obnoxious antics, they come with an aura of coolness that people appreciate and want to be a part of. When The New Day makes their entrance, it's an event in and of itself. They're not shucking and jiving as much as they're patronizing fans, mocking the babyface archetypes that defined their unsuccessful beginnings.

Unlike many other great stables, The New Day started out ice-cold. When looking back at all the great stables, this has to be taken into account and will count against them. Still, with enough longevity, I'd be ready to put this stable at or near the top five of the modern era. 

Modern Era vs. Modern Errors

The best aspect of the modern era is the continued evolution of the core wrestling product. There will always be a variety of wrestlers who will offer skill sets that have never been seen before. Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, John Cena, Randy Orton and a host of others continue to further the art form of wrestling.

The worst part is the over-saturation of everything. Feuds, titles, wins, losses.

It's difficult to properly build to a pay-per-view match, let alone build up a strong character while having to maintain strong television ratings.

Even-Steven booking and champions losing throwaway matches in order to highlight the challenger are just a few downfalls of a modern era being increasingly defined by television ratings.

Crossing the Barricade, Crossing the Line?

WWE has already taken steps to address this matter by issuing a statement, per Marc Middleton of  WrestlingInc.com, regarding this matter. The fan who recently ran into the ring during Night of Champions was also sentenced to 10 days in jail, per Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.

WWE might be wise to issue disclaimers during their broadcasts, similar to the "don't try this at home" PSAs. My fear is if that happened, running into the ring would officially become counterculture as it commanded the attention of the big empire, thereby causing these incidents to increase.

Continued severe punishment that makes headlines is the best way for WWE to send its message.
