Sting turns 56 today but guess what... He's having his debut match for wwe in a week. Yep you heard that correctly. Sting was the Franchise of WCW and after WCW died, people all questioned when Sting would be in wwe. It took 14 years and now it's happened. Given Sting's age and mystery surrounding his wwe status all these years, should he retire after having his one WrestleMania match or should he continue until he finally just calls it quits?

After the Undertaker match, yes. But not until then.

I personally feel this should be his swan song. He should go out on top of WrestleMania; the victor standing tall of WWE's it guy and go off into the sunset.

It's really hard to decide for me, because Sting was one of the first guys I was attracted to watch Wrestling in the first place. I'll say this, if he retires the next night after Mania in a win over Triple H, and it's a good match then fine. Let's say though, Sting keeps in shape and WWE keeps him on a strict schedule to get Taker/Sting next year then I'll be all for it. I never thought Sting would come to WWE, so right now it's bonus points if he keeps going for future feuds for me.

It would be awesome if he had one final match after this one against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32 will cumulated in them both retiring, that would be the perfect scenario in my opinion.

Well if Taker performs well at Mania with Bray Wyatt, it would be smart for WWE to do that.

I would have preferred it if he'd retired before 31 so I didn't have to sit through his and HHH's inevitable 45 minute (with entrances) match.

Sting says he's probably done. What do you say?

- Sting briefly spoke with The Associated Press this week to promote WrestleMania 31.

The article noted that Sting vs. The Undertaker could be a possibility for WrestleMania 32 but Sting commented on his future after this Sunday's WrestleMania 31 pay-per-view:

"I'm feeling like this is probably going to be my last one. We'll see how everyone reacts. If I'm asked to do one more at Survivor Series or maybe even WrestleMania next year, at this point, I would consider it. But realistically, this is going to be my last one."


Personally, I think he's bullshitting. They always say that then do one more. Sting vs Undertaker has to happen and I think it will.

He said it might be his last one. He isn't bullshitting anyone. After the Survivor Series, I kind of wanted to see Sting wrestle Seth Rollins. I knew that will probably never happen, but I really like the idea of it.

It's all about Sting, I think if he's feeling it Sunday versus Triple H and he feels healthy enough to do more matches he just might do it. It could be his swan song Sunday, here's hoping he does do more than one match in WWE.

merged with the other Sting thread as the topic is practically one & the same.

I think he's keeping his cards close to his chest for now. If tomorrow goes well then I'm sure he'll be back for one more.

I think WWE if they want to, and Sting wants to can do two more. Maybe one match could be a six man tag of some kind that would involve Triple H and Sting as team leaders, and the other is with Taker.

It's not though. The first one is do you think he should and the second is do you think he will
