According to Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly, while WWE is ruling out Hulk Hogan for WrestleMania 30, as the company expects him to return to TNA, officials are eyeing Sting for a possible appearance at the big event.

 

With TNA being in a state of total disarray, the report notes WWE believes it can bring Sting in for a WrestleMania appearance. "The WWE side believes that Hogan's ultimately TNA-bound, but they also feel there is a decent chance that they may end up being able to get Sting for WrestleMania next year," the report reads.

Hello,

 

According to Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly, while WWE is ruling out Hulk Hogan for WrestleMania 30, as the company expects him to return to TNA, officials are eyeing Sting for a possible appearance at the big event.

The percentage of this being unlikely is so big I could copy/paste the numbers and I still wouldnt reach it! :p

Jokes aside, Sting is 54 years old. He has NEVER wrestled in the WWE (or WWF or etc). The money they would have to not only pay him but also the Undertaker (its the only reason they would even bring him to the WWE) would be huge for a guy who is going to have one match and problably a 1 year contract.

BTW, Sting brought this upon himself. He could have made a great career in the WWE (attitude era and all). But because of one stupid promo between The Rock and Booker T, he choose not to because he felt that WCW would be lowered to the bottom and would problably stay there. I guess he was right about keeping the World Heavyweight, 3 time World Tag Team, Intercontinental, US, Hardcore champion and King Of The Ring Booker T being held down and stuck at the bottom.

Change it to Heisenberg and nobody will notice the difference.

Booker had a short run in the WWE anyway - yea it worked good for the invasion and his KOTR win but after that..not much was done with him. Sting didn't deserve to get treated that way by Vince.. He'd constantly get stuck jobbing to lil guys plus hes got kids he wants to raise and TNA's lax schedule allows him to do that.

Great gif but the result was :no: I want people to stop bo-lieving in him :(

It doesn't really matter. Sting would be a waste of an UT WrestleMania match. He isn't in UT's league. Never was.

I would still mark out to see Sting in WWE but yeah don't give him a chance at the streak

I wouldn't. In reality, what is his claim to fame? Failing to stop the NWO?

So what, he was loyal to WCW.

Suppose it's just me I was always a WCW mark back in the day

And what did that get you? Disappointment.

Thats all it gets Sting too.

He was never that great of an in-ring talent. Decent on the mic at best. His various gimmick variations have been mostly awful.

Way overrated by WCW marks like yourself because he is their only true long term star they ever produced themselves. The only exception being Goldberg. 

If WWE brings him in for WrestleMania, I don't have a problem with it, as long as it isn't with the Taker.

Speaking on Mania...

WWE is still very interested in landing Bill Goldberg for a match at WrestleMania 30, reports F4WOnline.com. During Ryback's match on Raw this week, Vince McMahon fed Jerry Lawler the line about fans loving the Goldberg chants that occur often during Ryback appearances. Of course, with the regular chants and the new Goldberg DVD, there's really no better time than 'Mania in New Orleans for a Goldberg return match.

I was too i was also a big Bret Hart fan in WWE as well as HBK... but i always somewhat favored WCW because of Sting and back then they were actually pretty good.

I think it was because we could only get TNT so on Friday nights I would watch Nitro and that was the only wrestling I watched other than the occasional WWF PPV's.

I would love to see Sting v Undertaker.

 

Sting is awesome, and is similar to Taker in that neither are all that great wrestlers at all. Both have a small basic moveset but both are masters of the psychology of the ring. Both great at the theatrics and showmanship required to have a great match.

 

Add to that Sting does actually, genuinely have a great match left in him.  He really can put on a brilliant match still.

 

It would be much better than the last wrestlemania. Undertaker didn't really do ANYTHING all match, he relied on Punk to carry the match and for some reason Punk just ran around acting like a jumped up teenager. Awful awful match. Taker phoned it in so obviously it was embarrassing to watch.

 

If anyone needs to carry Taker through his last wrestlemania Sting should really be the one to do it.

Someone never watched UT before he was old and broken down. He was the most agile big man to ever grace the ring. The only person close to him is Lesnar, believe it or not.

 

Also, when was Sting's last 'brilliant match'? Forcefully holding down High Hardy?

No no I have watched him since about 1995 regularly and sporadic matches on dvd from before then.

 

He is very entertaining, and very athletic in terms of all the jumps off the rope he used to do and diving over the ropes etc. However. Good 'wrestling' to me is a little more technical than just athletics. So whilst he was very impressive to watch, he wasn't a great *wrestler*. He just knows how to make it look good.

 

Just my opinion. But I see Taker and Sting being very similar. Combine two of the greatest wresting minds in the business in a match and it ought to be great.

So you're referring to technical wrestling? In that case, you're correct. Taker is a brawler, always has been. But thats the style WWE has been for many years. Even Bryan, who is considered one of, if not THE, top technical wrestler in the world doesn't do much mat wrestling. Its just the way it is in WWE.

Sting has nothing left to prove in TNA and he's simply wasting his time now - Dixie has no intention of being inovative and doing what needs to be done. She takes the easy way and hires Hogan and Bishoff to try to get ratings... personally i liked TNA better when those two were no where near TNA.
