Because it didn’t make any sense for the vigilante Sting to go after Undertaker in 2014/2015. If Sting hadn’t gotten injured and retired, when WWE started doing the Saudi shows they’d probably have gotten around to these two fighting over who is the best barely-mobile old man who was a goth in the Monday Night Wars.

Sting and his neck was just a few months before Taker's run as the Devil's favorite whipping boy, being sicced against Shane and all. Debatable whether Taker was already a naughty boy in '15 with the d*ck kicks and all. Morally dubious, one might say.

Taker was a shell of himself after the concussion. He couldn't hang with Sting. Also Sting would have jobbed. What concussion?

It is a bit of a coincidence that right after Sting got injured, they reverted to Taker being a good guy against the Wyatts.

Its never been a match I was too interested in. Yes its a big match. Yes they have similar gimmicks. But after around 2012, the little interest I had became less and less. Taker was a lot less agile and his best years were gone.

We got it back in 1990 what you talking about? Good old Mean Mark vs Surfer Sting 😆 🤣 😂

Should have happened in 2011. Would have been crazy

Taker refused to work with Sting. He didn't want the match. Sting confirmed this years ago. Good point but if WWE/Vince actually pitched the idea to Taker then we'd probably have gotten it tbh.

It would have to be a Wrestlemania match obviously. Maybe Taker refused because he thought Sting should win but not at the expense of the streak? It seems out of character for him to just refuse to do a match with someone without good reason.

It seems out of character for him to just refuse to do a match with someone without good reason. Sting dodged the WWE his entire career while Taker was one of the most loyal workers. Maybe Taker didn't like the idea of Sting coming in at the 11th hour and basically getting a match with him and possibly going over.

He has form in this department..... Did WWE or Vince actually tell Taker? I remember Sting telling Taker about it & it got turned down. He said it a few times in interviews but I wonder if the company actually had plans for it. It's just crazy that we was so close and it just failed.

A best of 3 series with Taker winning in the end would have been good stuff.

Should’ve gotten Undertaker vs Vampyro & Kiss Demon

would've preferred it to what we got with AJ, no offense to AJ at all. but if we're going to have those filmed matches then that would have been ideal to hide sting and taker's weaknesses at those ages. Taker vs Sting in a cinematic match was making sense
