my guess is sting didn't want to lose his first, and probably only wwe match (rightly so), and wwe didn't want taker to break the streak to a veteran outsider (rightly so). I personally feel; 1. sting's current TNA role is awful 2. he can still put on one heck of a match and 3. he does need to be in the WWE to really legitimate his career.
Really, it would be great to see him get a Wrestlemania victory against someone established as one final swan song for his career. Who though is beyond me. I guess someone like Hardy would work it he came back in the next couple of years.

I guess Im the only person that has absolutely no desire to see Sting vs Taker. I really dont understand how this is a "dream match" when neither of them have anything in common except they both wear black and are old. I have no desire either. It is a Lose-Lose situation. If Sting loses, he loses what would most likely be his one and only WWE match. If the Undertaker loses, his undefeated streak is ended by a guy who has always worked for the competition. |

At this point in Sting's career, nothing could tarnish his legacy.
He was one of the key players in WCW's entire history. Undertaker has been one of WWE's key players for 20 years. I don't see how people think this wouldn't be dream match. Just the thought of them standing across the ring from each other gives me chills.
Even in his 50s, Sting can go better than most. I wish he had went to WWE instead of going back to TNA.

Lol good call Sting. Who wants to wrestle Undertaker at WrestleMania, when you could have a minute and a half match with a clearly messed up Jeff Hardy.

I hope he regrets that decision.
He should.
Wrong decision to stay with Tits N Ass and wrestle a stoned out Jeff Hardy in front of 3,000 people when he could have been wrestling Undertaker at Wrestlemania in front of 70,000 people.

To be fair, WWE only wants Sting to "feed" him to the Undertaker. We all know Taker isnt going to lose at Wrestlemania. So if Im Sting, a true top tier legend in pro wrestling, I would tell WWE if you want me doing a job on my first, and possibly only appearance in WWE...you're either gonna pad the hell out of my pockets OR you need to schedule me against someone else that I can go over. In no way shape or form should Stings first (and possibly only) match in WWE be a loss to The Undertaker. Losing to the Undertaker at wrestlemania is not something to frown upon in your career. In fact, given recent matches, getting to face The Undertaker at WM is pretty much one of the biggest honours you can get in the WWE right now. The outcome of the match would not be the important thing, it would have been the build up and the quality of the match. Given the fact he's been in TNA for so long, I doubt it would have been his only match, and it would in no way, be jobbing. I agree although it would also be good if he didn't just come to have only one match in which he lost. I really don't care one way or another to see the match however I know it would be a great moment and probably a great match that I would end up seeing since I watch WM every year. It does seem a lot of people want to see it so hopefully it happens. |

Which one? LOL I have no idea for either. I'm just throwing out numbers. |

I would have rather never known about this. It's one thing to assume that something like this would never happen but now to know what might have been, it kind of sucks.

Sting vs Triple H at Wrestlemania would also be good. Sting vs HHH at WM29 and Sting vs Undertaker at WM30!

If they couldn't "come to an agreement" that means Sting probably wanted to break the streak. It doesn't seem like bringing in a guy to face Undertaker at Wrestlemania would require that much negotiation because every Wrestlemania opponent for Undertaker is going to LOSE.
And I don't think it was just about the money because I'm sure WWE offered him more than TNA is paying him.....
So it probably all boils down to what I said all along....it makes NO SENSE for Sting to come to WWE for the first time JUST to lose to Undertaker! Why would he want to do that?
This was always the problem with WCW and ECW guys...WWE wanted to bring them in due to their popularity, but rarely ever put them over. And rightfully so. What type of message does it send to your own WWF/WWE talent if you start jobbing them out to guys from other company's that they helped you put out of business? You gotta protect your homegrown talent. That's what WWE did.
So to bottom line it...there was no chance ever in a million years that WWE was EVER going to have Undertaker lose to Sting, so obviously it made no sense for him to come to WWE, hence why they couldn't come to an agreement. And I'm not blaming Sting or calling him a bad guy for wanting to win. I totally see Sting's point of view. He's been in TNA for like 6 or 7 years, lot's of ex-WCW guys there who are friends with him, Dixie Carter treats him well...TNA is a VERY comfortable situation for Sting. Why would he want to come to WWE where he knows nobody probably, has to travel more, and LOSE matches on top of everything else?
WWE never made sense for Sting.

It doesn't seem like bringing in a guy to face Undertaker at Wrestlemania would require that much negotiation because every Wrestlemania opponent for Undertaker is going to LOSE. Could've been dates leading to the match, or even something after WrestleMania. Obviously WrestleMania would be THE reason Sting is brought in, but what if he only wants to do the buildup to that and the match itself; and WWE wants him to have some participation afterwards? I would guess at this point it would be more about dates (and his ability to work elsewhere after WM) and creative control over his character than it is about money or just losing to Undertaker at WrestleMania. |

if it were to happen right now? I wouldn't want to see it at all. Sting and Taker are past their primes. Now if this were five years ago? Hell yea!
