Whether Sting will be returning to TNA in 2011 or if we will see him sign with the WWE, especially with the speculation of a WCW-themed Hall of Fame class as part of WrestleMania XXVII weekend in Atlanta: "If I had to guess, and if he is going to sign another agreement, which I'm not sure he is going to do at this stage of his career, my bet would be that he is going to sign with TNA. I'm not sure what Sting's motivations are at this point. I know physically he's told me on more than one occasion that it's getting harder and harder to deliver the type of performances that he wants to deliver in the ring for his fans. That's got to be a big part of his consideration. I think realistically, if he would go to the WWE, there would be some additional pressure, much more than in TNA, to perform in the ring, and that would be a hard thing for him to do at this point in his career."

- We're getting lots of emails and Tweets, @jrsbbq, regarding Sting these days. BTW has he left TNA? I actually don't know the answer to that one but suspect that Sting is still officially with TNA. Nonetheless many fans hope that Sting is inducted in the WWE HOF in Atlanta at WM27. Theoretically, if Sting were not working for another wrestling company, it would be a splendid idea. It still might be but that's not for me to speculate on. Sting was the first and only WCW star that Turner's people 'made' in Atlanta that never wrestled for WWE as best that I recall.
Pro-wrestling may be coming to a theater near you. WWE brass has been discussions with movie theater event company Fathom Events to bring Wrestlemania 27 to theaters across the nation…in 3D.
Though the news is purely at the rumor stage, WWE discussions with Fathom are ongoing as each company haggles over revenue. WWE wants 47% of Pay-Per-View (PPV) revenue while Fathom wants a larger cut of the action. WWE also wants a reported 60-70% of revenue from theaters as well.
