Now or never for Sting?

Sting doesn't need the title, Sting would be the attraction, you're just taking away a promotional tool from another match, you may as well make it a barbwire scaffold landmines on a pole laser shark deathmatch. Your idea was for him to come in and win the rumble, so he's on top for at least 3 months taking away spots from other guys who could benefit from being the rumble winner and being involved in the title match and the ensuing hype leading up to it.

I'm suggesting that if wwe wanted to do the sting angle properly then it would have been to develop feuds over a year, have sting beat some tops raw opponents, take part in a hell in a cell match, win the rumble, win a title etc as to allow him to have his glory in the wwe. Even he were to come for just wm 30 I have no doubt he will be scripted to lose to taker given that I think the streak would have ended long ago if the writers really wanted it. It would kind of take away that aura of invincibility taker has and what has been the standout moment of his career. As a sting fan I wouldn't want to see him make his long awaited debut in the wwe only to job to taker or Cena and I suspect amongst other things maybe that's what Sting has been cautious about hence his reluctance to jump to wwe.

Yes it would take away a promotional tool from one of the stars for a few months but do Cena, Bryan or punk need anymore hyping than they have at the moment? They will still be around for the next wm and the one after and maybe after that whereas this may well be stings only wwe appearance and if it does happen I guess sting fans out there are hoping it won't be a disaster like warrior coming to the WCW. If it wasn't for the fact ht warrior was just so crap, egotistical and took part in one of worst matches ever during his WCW time and didn't commit, I'm sure WCW had plans for him so far as biatch off claiming a whole merchandise line had been in the works and no doubt at some stage that would have culminated in a title run of sorts.
