Ive recently watched the TNA bound for glory PPV, offcourse we get it free, there is no ways im paying for anything TNA related:
I cannot remeber what Sting looked like in his last WCW days, but from what ive seen on this specific PPV, he looks to be in "allright" shape, not flobby is what im trying to say, so obviously he's been working hard.
My real question is, how much does his wrestling skills and body look differ now than a few years ago in WCW?

Pretty much the same.
He was in better shape obviously back in the day but his moveset was always low impact and limited. He was more bareable to watch in his prime though. These days his matches are cringesome.

Which is because, in his prime it was the time when those kinds of matches were common place. It was the Hogan and Flair era, where you didn't really have to have a hell of a lot of skill in the ring to still get wildly over.
I think Hogan and Flair's eras span a little bit longer than Sting's hayday.

I was personally referencing the final days of WCW, where he did not have any good matches, and he was slightly out of shape, and his arms were real small. He's similar to what he was then. If you are comparing him to the spiked blonde hair Sting, or even 96-98 era Sting, then he's obviously slowed down and more out of shape. But as far as physical shape, he's far from embarrassing. Roddy Piper is embarrassing. If he's that out of shape, he should just come down in street clothes and go at it like a street brawler.

Who's more overrated: Sting or Hulk Hogan ?

Sting, without a doubt. Hogan could work very well when he wanted to. Sting played a great never-say-die babyface, but unless he placed against a monster heel like Vader or someone who just plain made him look good like Ric Flair, he had average at best matches.

Even Flair couldn't make him look that great, no big surprise as Flair usually had to have at least a fairly good wrestler to look good himself. I agree with the 'Lips all the way. Sting was way more, and is still way more, overrated than Hogan.

Sting sucked. I can't say anything good about Sting that relates to in ring skill, I can say hundreds of good things about Vader and Flair, though.
