Sting signs with WWE?
 
http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/ne...ngs-Status.htm
- TNA sources have indicated that Sting did not sign a new contract for 2011, and many in the company have discussed that he may be heading to WWE. This morning, the New York Daily news reported that Sting had signed a one-year deal with WWE.

Wolfpack423 02-01-2011 04:04 PM

Don't get your hopes up. I want Sting to sign with WWE, but the arena advertising RAW says witness the return of The Undertaker. The video is someone walking in the rain with a trenchcoat and Taker wears one to the ring. It's such a letdown if it is Taker to me. We know he's returning.

TheAdamEvansFan 02-01-2011 04:09 PM

Wolfpack, I think they did that on purpose to throw the internet community off.

Undertaker shouldn't need a video package.

TheAdamEvansFan 02-01-2011 04:09 PM

BTW THIS POST SHOULD GO ON MY STING THREAD...

glanville6 02-01-2011 04:16 PM

Hmmm, my friend wasn't lying about reading this.

Wishbone 02-01-2011 04:29 PM

Meh Sting is kinda 'been there done that' to me so I could really care less if he signs or not. I do however agree that if it's Undertaker it'll be a HUGE let down.

Purgatory 02-01-2011 04:40 PM

I seriously hope that vignet wasn't for the Undertaker...Why put that kind of effort into a hype that the fans expect? I know it's the WWE and they do this bologna all the time, but still........

Rammsteinmad 02-01-2011 05:00 PM

Sting is a true legend in this industry and one of my childhood favourites, but come on I don't understand why people still want to see him in WWE. This is ten years too late. (though if it does happen, I'll still go along with the ride and enjoy it).

Dream matches i guess, yeah its a little late but still some great matches there.

Rammsteinmad 02-01-2011 05:10 PM

To be honest the only dream match I would like to see is Sting and Shawn Michaels. Sting and 'Taker doesn't really interest me.

Sixx 02-01-2011 05:13 PM

I stopped caring about him years ago.

whiteyford 02-01-2011 05:15 PM

The buildup to a Sting -'Taker match would be better than the match itself, but Sting vs HHH, Punk,Del Rio etc would worth it.

Mooияakeя™ 02-01-2011 05:33 PM

I thought he'd never work with Vince. Seriously thought he'd be the one we'd all talk about saying "The one stand out main eventer who didn't go to the big time WWF/E". Maybe he's realised he needs a bit of cash to line his pockets for retirement if this is true?

Mr. Pierre 02-01-2011 05:34 PM

Taker vs. Sting would be so awesome. The build would more than likely be done right, the video packages would be amazing, and the entrances would be ridiculously cool. Seeing them in the ring would be a dream match.

The match wouldn't be your typical mat-classic, but if they gave us 10-12 minutes of signature moves, finishers, near falls, moments, etc..I think it'd be sick :y:

JimmyMess 02-01-2011 06:00 PM

With all the news updates on the sites, and the increase in discussion. This is getting pretty spooky. I was utterly convinced a few hours ago that this was all 'Taker... but now I'm kind of starting to think its possible that Stinger is WWE-bound

DLVH84 02-01-2011 06:10 PM

Well, in the past Sting said he refused to go there because of their content. Now that WWE toned down, maybe now's the right time for Sting to make the move.

Jordan 02-01-2011 06:11 PM

I AM IN A WRESTLE-WONDERLAND RIGHT NOW!!!

The Pope 02-01-2011 06:11 PM

Perfect Timing

Get that Paycheck, Steve.

I honestly doubt it's for the paycheck. I believe he wants to go there before he finally retires.

bigslimjj 02-01-2011 06:21 PM

I hope he doesn't ever go. I don't want to see Sting Job to the Taker at WM. I'm thinking it's the deadman. Remeber the creepy little Freddy Kruger girls promo before he returned as The American Badass? Same thing here. Plus Taker was buried. Any time he's buried they make a big hoopla out of the return. It's gonna be cowboy Taker starring in "Undead Nightmare".

That was a small factor, but it was mainly this:

Loose Cannon 02-01-2011 06:31 PM

does anyone have the rest of that interview or can somebody tell me where that interview is from?

#BROKEN Hasney 02-01-2011 06:37 PM

Yeah, seems interesting. Don't think I've ever heard Sting speak out of character before. His reasoning is fair enough and seemed like an alright guy there.

Fignuts 02-01-2011 06:39 PM

I would guess it is from the Moment of Truth DVD.

Nightwing 02-01-2011 06:41 PM

Ive been reading all sorts of crap that hes either signed, rumored to sign, or its WWEs top priority to sign him in 2011.

Im just gonna sit back and play the 'we'll see' game now.

Anybody Thrilla 02-01-2011 06:41 PM

I doubt WCW is a factor for Sting now, so I could see this happening.

I watched that video a long time ago, and I agree with that notion, too. That was why he opted to sit out his contract with AOL/Time Warner.

Actually pretty sure that's from his appearance on 700 Club.

Cuse8 02-01-2011 06:52 PM

it makes a lot of sense for sting to be wwe bound..his match with taker can be built up as a dream match..the following year he can enter the wwe hall of fame, and they can also make a sting dvd that has been talked about for yrs..its all positives that can come out of this

The Gold Standard 02-01-2011 06:57 PM

When I first saw the promo I was sure it was Sting. However, I am not 100% convinced. Maybe it is just because I never thought I would see the day Sting would be in the WWE.

CSL 02-01-2011 07:06 PM

Ron Hutchinson just mentioned it on Facebook and he has quite a few friends in high places, take that for what you will.

Steveviscious89 02-01-2011 07:45 PM

I could see Sting back then not wanting to go through it for that very reason; didn't trust how he would be used and it would damage his career in the long run. However, the WCW invasion ended almost ten years ago, so that slate has been cleaned. Now he basically would come in as wrestling legend in a kind of big time send off. The only part of this that does not add up is the fact that he's always made it clear that his best matches were with Flair, and he cannot face Flair if he makes this move. There would be a series of dream matches I'm sure, but no Flair.

Right about there in any sentence is when you need to realize that there's an incredibly large chance that whatever follows is complete and total bullshit devoid of any sources, logic or basic factchecking.

Xero 02-01-2011 08:03 PM

Fox News reporting this would be hilarious.

BollywoodSingh 02-01-2011 08:37 PM

Ya, it would be a huge disappointment if that 2 21 11 video is for Undertaker. He gets injured and returns every year it seems so why make such a big deal for it now? I'm hoping it's Sting.

The only problem I have with Sting vs. Taker at WrestleMania is that Sting would be the heel.

CSL 02-01-2011 08:39 PM

Not necessarily, HBK wasn't.

yep and get in the hall of fame and have controll of the sting dvd, this is the best time for sting to go in the wwe vince can't job him out like he did to ddp.

loopydate 02-01-2011 10:13 PM

Lol yeah because he'd let Sting go over Taker, HHH, or Cena

Jordan 02-01-2011 10:29 PM

The report says its for a year, I bet Sting faces Undertaker at WM 28 after being reintroduced to the WWE Universe for a year. Seems like a smart way to go. Perhaps he debuts at WM 27. I would just fucking die.
