Its probably just that time of year again but IF it happened holy crap mania could be huge
CM Punk/Triple H Daniel Bryan/Randy Orton Undertaker/Sting Brock Lesnar/Batista John Cena and Hulk Hogan/Real Americans Dean Ambrose/SethRollins/Roman Reigns Cody Rhodes/Goldust The Uso's/New Age Outlaws Plus whatever Big E Langston, Chris Jericho and RVD are doing. This Wrestlemania might be worth the HD PPV price tag even with the network offering it for 9.99.

For me it's about seeing the ultimate WCW loyalist finally do battle with the ultimate WWE loyalist. They've both been around for over 20 years, are both still active and have never faced off. thats the first legit argument ive seen for the match. thats definitley a good reason

This may sound stubborn but if Sting signs and he comes out to mania in a tshirt, i'd rather it not happen at all or only for the merchandise possibilities

He needs an actual run in the WWE, not just a match. He's a legend and he can still put on good matches. I know he's worried he wouldn't be used right, but come on. I doubt they would make him job to someone like Brodus Clay.

I just don't get why he would want to bother just to job to Undertaker? Hell, why bother paying him for that? The outcome couldn't be more obvious. No way they end the streak and put Sting over Undertaker. I'd rather see him come back and have a short series with someone else. Bingo. Sting would never accept a deal in which he jobs in his first match at the biggest PPV of the year. It would destroy him. It's not going to happen.

Hell, Kane and HBK lost to him twice while HHH lost to him three times. Didn't somebody say Sting is losing to Magnus on Impact next week? I'm not sure I even know who Magnus is to be honest. Being in TNA is what's destroying him. Even if he only wrestled for WWE one time at a Wrestlemania at least he could say he did it, who cares if he wins or loses? Why would you want to go your entire wrestling career and never wrestle for the number one wrestling company and the biggest wrestling show in the world? Plus, his excuse for why he hasn't signed with WWE changes on a regular basis.

He would come in with a ton of momentum. The fans would be excited. There would be a buzz over Sting finally being in WWE. Then he would lose his first match and all the momentum build for his debut would be squashed. Sting has been involved in some of the highest grossing PPVs of all time. Starrcade 1997 is still on of the 10 highest grossing PPVs in history with 650,000 buys. It was sold solely as Sting vs. Hogan. I get your point though. He has the opportunity to be in a company that is relevant now, so he should take it. I've only seen Sting list two reasons that he didn't want to join the WWE. 1. During the Attitude Era, he didn't feel that the product was family appropriate. Sting is a practicing Christian, so this make sense. 2. Sting doesn't trust Vince McMahon w/ his character because of past events that involved ex WCW guys. Specifically, he cites the incident when The Rock asked a debuting Booker, "Who in the hell are you?" Sting feels that he shouldn't have to start at the bottom and work his way up. And he's right. He is one of the biggest names in professional wrestling history. He should debut in the company as a focal point.

Triple H is to blame too but what hurt Steiner more than anything was just having an awful match. Undertaker vs. Sting would (hopefully) be booked better and wouldn't suck. Having a 20-30 minute match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania in front of 50,000 people certainly wouldn't hurt his stock. WWE has been PG for some time now and more family friendly then probably since the mid 90s. I have no clue what's going on in TNA but the last time I watched, Ken Anderson came out and called his fans a bunch of ass holes about fifty times while Velvet Sky bounced her ass up and down on the middle rope while getting into the ring. Booker T did just fine for himself despite The Rock making one short comment in passing which was forgotten about the next week. The Rock did the same to Jericho when he debuted as well and he turned out ok. I just don't buy Sting's excuses.

I am just of the mindset that an icon coming to WWE and losing his first and likely only match looks bad. If he came in now, had a program with Taker, built some credibility, defeated other stars, then lost to Taker at WM that would be a bit better. But I don't see the point in him agreeing to show up and lose his only match. Seems pointless and he doesn't need it for his career.

Who is to say that they can't have a rematch at Summerslam where Sting goes over?

If Sting isn't under contract, he should just sign a like a 2 month WWE deal just to do Mania. If he & TNA have come to an agreement, TNA should just rent Sting out to WWE for Mania lol. TNA needs all the money they can get lol.

Gee what a surprise wwe focusing on an other old fart for Mania season instead of taking a risk and trying to build up the young talent they have.

The first and one of the few times I have tried to watch TNA, there was constant nonstop yelling in a backstage segment. It was a real turnoff. Plus Sting is the biggest Hypocrite in Pro Wrestling

Just read this on Rahah.com (my dirtsheet or choice): "WWE is is currently in talks with Sting, who is not under contract with TNA. Sting has been working a lot of recent TNA live events in what could be part of a 'farewell tour' for the 15-time World Champion." Source: rajah.com/node/38619Maaaan, if WWE can secure The Man they call Sting for Mania I'll sh*t myself! This'll be thest Mania in recent memory with Hogan, Sting, Lesnar, The Outlaws?, Warrior? and more on it. Nostalgia at its finest! Hell, I'm not afraid to admit that Nostalgia is what keeps me a wrestling fan. Thoughts? The good, the bad, the ugly... bring it on! Someone explain to me the appeal of Sting v. Undertaker. I never understood it. Oh, they all wear black, and are dark. Sting was only dark back in the Crow period through maybe 4 months after Starrcade. I don't get why this would be an amazing match. I'd rather have Sting v. Flair for the umpteenth time at Mania than Sting v. Undertaker. It makes no sense to me. Maybe have Sting face Hogan and get a clean decisive winner. Or maybe Sting vs. Michaels: the faces of each main organization. But I never got the appeal of Undertaker v. Sting.

How would losing to Undertaker at Wrestlemania destroy him? 20 people have lost to Undertaker at Wrestlemania and none of them were destroyed. Hell, Kane and HBK lost to him twice while HHH lost to him three times. Seriously. I mean Giant Gonzalez was a five time WWF champion. And Tensai is formerly one half of greatest tag team in the world from the past 3 decades.

A-Train worked with Undertaker as they are good friends. And Gonzalez was only ever a Giant for Undertaker to slay. And certainly at 55 years old, Sting's career will not suffer from a loss at the biggest Wrestlemania ever to the man who is synonymous with Wrestlemania. It'll have been the first good thing he did in 13 or so years.
