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. Surprised we didn't get Sting vs Taker in Saudi around 2018-2019 tbh. His injury really sucked.

Stings TNA run was epic and there were so many memorable moments. You have to understand that Sting had to protect his spot, selfish as it may seem but he could've been mid card bound in WWE. According to Road Dogg, on the day of Survivor Series 2014 Vince kept asking if "This guy Sting" was over enough to debut in the main event. I assume he was being sarcastic but if that's how Vince thought then maybe he was best steering clear all them years. Sting is still a draw at 65 years old in 2024... 17K fans for his last match is big numbers. The WWE fans loved him in 2014/2015.Thinking about it, he debut in November, doesn't appear again until March and after that September. Looking back that really sucked. Sting could still go back then so WWE should've used him as much as possible. Giving him the Lesnar schedule was a really bad idea.

DDP Booker T Kronik Kanyon Flair Hogan RVD Dreamer Between 01 & 02 Undertaker kicked those guys asses big time. Sting would've been no different. In fact I could easily imagine Sting's ankle being chained to Takers bike and getting dragged around the arena. 😆 🤣 😂 LOL. Sting in 01/02 vs Taker would have been a big mistake. The best timing would have been anywhere from 05-2019 tbh. Don't forget, Taker was also the Biker back then so he and Sting would not have mixed well at all. The Crow vs The Phenom was the attraction.

He was still very over in WWE but they never got the job done. Sting should have at least wrestled in more tag matches and had more feuds. Sting never got to compete in the Rumble match, no SummerSlam or Survivor Series matches, no Saudi shows...what a waste.

The Crow vs Phenom was always the dream match.

He could've came out the night after Survivor Series and announced that he helped rid the WWE of the poison that was The Authority and then stated that he joined WWE for a new beginning and that would start at the Rumble. Sting could've entered, threw out a few guys and lasted a couple of before Triple H runs in and eliminates him which sets up their match at Mania.

I would have loved Sting in the 2015 Rumble. We should have at least gotten him on screen with Taker,Wyatt,Lesnar,Reigns, Rock etc. A lot of wasted potential.

Taker refused to work with Sting. He didn't want the match. Sting confirmed this years ago. The Undertaker just didnt want to do the match even though it wouldve drawn more money and made more sense than Sting vs HHH. So Taker himself has said Vince was the one who didn’t want the match? So why are you guys saying that it Taker who didn’t want it?

Well, let Taker and Sting argue it out. Maybe Vince let Taker know he wasn’t keen and Taker didn’t want to tell Sting directly that it was a Vince thing and so was vague. Because Sting has only ever implied about Taker and not given any quotes.

Coming across WM 31. Stings man.
Sting vs Wyatt not something I've thought of until just now. Old news apparently, but would have been better than the Deadman.
Seriously, this is ticking me off right now.

Pretty sure it was said in the documentary they did with Sting. But if not in that documentary he said it in something they aired on the WWE Network.

Although it kinda makes sense for Taker to say it was Vince, then he doesn’t have to into WHY he or Vince didn’t want the match.

I could totally see Mean Mark being salty and too protective of the Deadman gimmick and thinking Stang borrowed too much, in his mind anyway. The guy turned heel to avoid having anything to do with the NWO.

I don’t know I just found Taker to be a hypocrite. Because Jericho tells a story where he was pissed off because they wanted him to wrestle Fandango at WM and he didn’t want to do it and when he talked to Undertaker about it Taker basically said to him shut up and do it because it’s his job and his boss who is paying him told him to do it. So Jericho did it, yet it seems that Taker didn’t take his own advise. If what Sting was told is true I just found that pretty crappy on Taker’s part.
