Sting was close to coming to WWE, wants a match with Taker.

As noted earlier, "Big Poppa" Gary Spears from Kiss-FM recently spoke with Sting. Here are some highlights from the interview:
Wrestlers he'd like to face that he hasn't yet: "I'd have to say the top one... Undertaker. I think wrestling fans have wanted to see Sting vs. Undertaker for years. I think between his gimmick and mine, it could be pretty cool. We could do some pretty cool stuff."

If he regrets never going to WWE: "Yes and no. Who wouldn't want to say that they've done at least one WrestleMania? I'm not going to lie to you, I wish I had done one of those. I've had great conversations with him [Vince McMahon] over the years and been real close on three or four different occasions. There was always a need met or desire of mine met with WCW or with TNA, so I stayed."

The last time he almost jumped to WWE: "Last year... we were very, very close."

Wow, to think they were very close makes me sad . Wish he did jump the boat, would much prefer him feuding with Taker than HHH.

I hope it doesn't happen tbh. Sting is too old and he's got that mystique of being the biggest wrestler never to work for Vince.

as soon as sting had joined then he loses half of his value cos lets be honest his claim to fame is having never been in wwe its like once u take away the streak what do you have? two veteran wrestlers with no draw value IMPO

I see your point and seabs', but I'd mark if I saw him face Taker. I'm sure he'd still be given credit as the guy who made it big without being in WWE throughout his career. Just one more match with Taker to please the fans sort of thing.

if he could hold that legacy and face taker at mania it would be historic and great but i still feel my point stands if this cannot be achieved

Personally I'd see it as Sting caring enough about his fans to give them the match the majority of them want. Maybe I'm letting my inner-mark get the best of me. I'd just love to see Sting succeed on the big stage.

Don't need to win to succeed at WM. I mean put on a great match/story-line with Taker at WM. Lose though.

He succeed on the big stage with WCW from 1997 to 1998. They were the top company in the time period so I'd class that as the big stage. It's just my opinion that having a wrestlemania match isn't the be all and end all of a career. Many legends haven't had them.

In modern times I don't think anyone can argue that WM isn't the biggest stage in professional wrestling. Sure he's had his time on the top dog show, but WM is a whole new world.

Many legends have ended their careers without that match sure, but I'd personally want to see Sting in one.

Sting is an excellent competitor. It would have been great if he transitioned into WWE when I did. Then maybe he could have had another chance at the title against me after I won it against him back in WCW.

He would have in no doubt have been a big star if he did go there.

I 'guess' the match would be okay, though, there's no way Sting can keep up with Undertaker.... which is kind of sad

Ultimately, Sting isn't dark. It's a gimmick. Personality wise, he's more Cena than Taker.

I'm concerned we'd see them across the ring from one another and be disappointed... particularly with Sting


15 years ago... It would have been absolutely epic

 

[Crayo]

I think the sheer occasion would be enough to sell the match. Although I agree, it would of been better years ago. Better late than never.

No question, Sting's been over the hill for some time now, yet, Vince wanted him last year.

I'd love WWE to go all out with pyrotechnics on Sting's part
