Bernard Hopkins is 50 and one of the top P4P fighters in boxing.

50 =/= 90

Kane is 46
Angle is 44
Jericho, HHH, Christopher Daniels are in their 40s and can still put on great matches.

Sting isn't a world beater at this point, but he can still provide WWE with something, even in the ring, so long as he works on his physique a bit and loses the t shirt.
There's still a big difference between 46 and 55. Sting could have one last match, but I'm sure that his condition right now is probably a lot better than when he had his last match with EC3 since he's signed with the WWE for a while now and he still hasn't done anything other than the WWE 2K15 thing. WWE probably made Sting work on his physique and all that, for an upcoming match. I'm just not that pumped to see a 55-year old in the ring, it doesn't matter what his legacy is. He should just retire, honestly.

Who are you to say Sting should "just retire"? He still gets paid to do what he loves and what he has done his entire life. I sure as hell wouldn't be retiring if I were him.

He isn't going to change the landscape of WWE, but if he has a couple of matches I would still be down. Hell, just the entrance alone would have my pants fitting a little tighter. Nostalgia is a cool part of wrestling, and many fans who grew up watching Sting in the 90s would enjoy the stroll down memory lane.

I get that he gets paid to do what he loves, but his glory days are way past him, and he certainly isn't in the best shape to wrestle anymore. He might love to wrestle and wants to wrestle, but so does Hogan and it doesn't happen because of his age and health. There's a time where some people are just too old to keep on wrestling and, in my honest opinion, Sting has surpassed that. Wrestling isn't like an office job.

The entrance would be pretty amazing to see. i'd certainly piss my jorts.

He may debut against Fandango on the pre-show, since Fandango's opponent is yet TBD. lol

If he debuts on the show and maybe gets involved in Team Cena vs Team Authority, cool, if he doesn't debut at SS, then it's also cool.

Sting is in infinitely better shape than Hogan, that is a shit comparison.

Sting is too old to be a full time wrestler, but the honest truth is he is still in good enough shape to put on good matches. Keeping in mind that Sting was never a worker who got by with workrate and crazy spots, he is a master psychologist. He knows how to work a crowd no matter how old he gets.

Age doesn't affect your performance if you're in great shape. Sting is still in good shape and didn't Ricky Steamboat do a pretty good performance in Wrestlemania 25? He was 56 at the time I believe. And Mil Mascaras is still performing and he's like 72.

I see it now, after team cena vs. team authority, one group is beating down the other after that group lost (can't say who will win), then lights out! Sting decends from the rafters and just stands there as everyone stops fighting to stare at him as the show ends.
