TNA: Sting, part 3


In the weeks following Genesis, Sting's feud with Abyss continued as he tried to get in Abyss' head by telling him he was being used by his satanic manager James Mitchell. Abyss was visibly affected by this, but remained by Mitchell's side. Sting's former friend Christian Cage and his bodyguard Tomko were also thrown in the mix, with Cage claiming he knew a dark secret in Abyss' past. The three would finally meet in a Three Way match for the NWA world heavyweight title at TNA Turning Point 2006, with Abyss retaining the title. After Turning Point however, Sting continued to try to convince Abyss he was nothing but a machine for Mitchell, and he got so far into Abyss that Abyss grabbed Mitchell by the throat, almost chokeslamming him on an edition of iMPACT!, but ultimately convinced himself not to. Since coming back at Bound for Glory, Sting began to wear the same tights again but his facepaint has remained different.

At Final Resolution 2007, Sting faced off against Abyss and Christian Cage for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship but failed to win back the championship.

On the January 24, 2007 edition of iMPACT!, Sting revealed after going through public records that Abyss shot his own father three times in the back, sending him into a coma. During the ensuing brawl throughout the iMPACT! Zone between Sting and Abyss, James Mitchell burned Sting's face with a Fireball, sending Sting to the hospital. At Against All Odds Sting beat Abyss in a Prison Yard Match. At Destination X in March, Sting defeated Abyss in a Last Rites Match, by locking Abyss into a casket in the ring. The casket was then raised up to the top of the arena. After this Abyss left him in a tag team match to return to James Mitchell and a woman.

The following week on iMPACT, Sting would have a "Dinner With The Devil" when he ate a meal with Mitchell. In this meal it was revealed the woman was Abyss' mother. Later in the night it was announced Abyss was added to the Lethal Lockdown match as part of Team Cage, at Lockdown. Therefore, the next week, Sting joined Team Angle, and later went on to win Lethal Lockdown thanks to Jeff Jarrett. Due to his win, he was supposed to be facing Christian Cage for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at TNA Sacrifice, but the next week on iMPACT! Kurt Angle challenged Sting for his number one contendership. After Team Cage interfered in the match it was revealed that at TNA Sacrifice there would be a triple threat match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between Sting, Kurt Angle, and Christian Cage, which Sting lost after Kurt Angle placed Sting in an Ankle Lock. Although if you watch the match, Sting had Christian Cage pinned and the ref had counted the three count a half second before the other ref signaled that Sting tapped out to Angle's ankle lock.
