There has been speculation that WWE has been pursuing Sting for the WWE Hall of Fame and even a possible match at WrestleMania XXIX. This was due to Triple H recently mentioning him in interviews, WWE.com mentioning Sting more often than usual and the fact that Sting's yearly TNA deal ends at the end of 2012. According to a source in the writing team, there is no truth to the rumors that he is coming in. A source stated the following…

"The current TNA lawsuit has everything frozen for the moment. WWE will not even internally discuss Sting. That just won't happen. Until this lawsuit settles, finishes or is dismissed, there's no way any discussion about Sting is going to happen. His name has never come up, and I can practically guarantee you that it won't."

The source also added the following…

"The idea of Sting vs. Undertaker, Sting vs. Punk, or Sting vs. Cena was something a lot of the young writers were dreaming about until a senior member reminded them there's not a chance of it happening this year."

Where does this report originate? Is it Meltzer or another dirt sheet?

But yeah the lawsuit would most likely freeze any negotiations. I don't doubt it would be a dream for H to be able to say "I brought Sting to WWE"

It's crazy to think that Sting wouldn't go to WWE after the WCW collapse because it was too raunchy for his Christian values. Now that WWE is PG, and TNA is the racier company, maybe he might consider a switch? One can only hope. He is by far the biggest name never to step foot in a WWE ring.

I might have cared if this was a few years back, but honestly don't give a shit if he goes to WWE or not.
Doesn't really makes sense for him to go to WWE anyways, he'll just end up jobbing to Taker, and he's way past his prime so it's not like he'll be the top dog.

It would still be cool for the lights to go out, and hear the old WCW Crow Sting theme.

If this is True?! AND THAT A BIG IF! Then this next WM29 HAS TO BE UNDERTAKER VS. STING! As much as I would love to see Brock vs. Taker and even Punk vs. Taker though I don't think this match will with or without Sting signing?! As I do fell plan is Taker to vs. Brock next year until if Taker "pich" was to have someone else? Hay maybe he the one who pich for Sting who know?! But if Sting does argee to the WWE HOF right after he got into the TNA HOF it will be a sign to see after the lawsuit and all! But I telling right now Sting will only argee if he get 1 match with Undertaker at WM29 as he even said him self in a inveiw the only guy left I want to face is Undertaker NO ONE ELSE! Either Sting vs. Undertaker at WM29 or there will be no match with Sting in WWE!

I'd rather not, it's part of his legacy imo no one else can say he made it without Vince.. Not his all legacy but still a part of it.

Yes he did make it without Vince. However, don't you think he'd like to have his Wrestlemania moment like all the other greats in history? It's the perfect end to a career, the story line is already written. The one guy Taker hasn't beaten, on the grandest stage.

He can like to sure but that isn't the point I was making, I don't want to see him do it. Did Arn Anderson have a huge WM moment also ? How about Lou Thesz? Kobashi or Misawa? Not all the greats have had them and I can't really see the reason for Sting to and even if he does he's one in a pile of other great moments, yet if he doesn't he's still the one guy who was never seduced by Vince's machine that to me aids his legacy more than a clash with Taker which will be a shadow of the match it would have been 10 years ago imo.

Basically everything deth just said was on point. Sting is old and i don't think i want to see him in a WWE ring. I never watched WCW like that, so there's no nostalgia for me, just an old man.

Would prefer if he didn't. He doesn't need to go to WWE, he is great on his own. IF anything WWE would benefit more from this. Sting is also past his time, we don't really need another part timer jobbing to Undertaker, and it would be an insult to bring him in the WWE just to lose.

The Undertaker vs Sting has always been a dream match for me since I was a kid in the 90's. I think it would of been better back then.
