Potenzieller Spoiler für Sting's Zukunft?


InDemand veröffentlichte nun die Beschreibung zu dem am 18.3.2012 stattfindenden PPV Victory Road. Aus dieser kann man eine interessante Entwicklung um Sting und seine Rolle als GM von IMPACT WRESTLING schließen.

"Der Countdown bis Lockdown beginnt. Um seine Power wiederzuerlangen, musste Sting bis zur Hölle und wieder zurück gehen. Nun kontrolliert "The Icon" das Schicksal seiner Freunde und Feinde gleichermaßen. Die Frage ist, wer wird die Siegesstraße(Victory Road) für eine Chance um Geschichte zu schreiben, bereisen - und wer wird letztendlich den Zorn des Mannes in Schwarz entgegen treten müssen?"
