Excuse my ignorance here, but why haven't we seen Sting vs Undertaker?

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

He only needed to do that one WM.

fukk Stink Bordem, he is the epitome of a coward. He wasn't going to get smutted out like DDP. His gimmick would have went well against Taped Fists Calloway. He is better off playing in the little leagues aka TNA where he wont have to put his ego at risk.

People are getting REALLY stupid in here.
By the time WWE bought WCW, Sting was old and done with traveling 300 days a year. Combine that with his thinking of being booked wrongly, he did what he thought what was right for him and his family.

I don't think people know how good his scheule in TNA is. He barely wrestles, has to show up 4 times a month max and gets paid $500,000. Which comes out to about $10,000 an appearance lol. Just to show up.

Why give this up? Yeah he could have made double this in a year in WWE, but it's also 5x the amount of appearances (this in back in 200.

With them throwing out this part time deals to people now (Lesnar, Dwayne, etc..) he should take advantage of it, I do agree on that.

Just about EVERY post has said the same thing you just said. How are people being stupid

Imagine Sting off brand Goofy ass on the Mic in the E, fans would shyt on him relentlessly. Sting simply wouldn't be able to swim, I think a heel Taker wouldn't even be able to save him

Wait a second was this real? Or something someone just put together online?

 

[Street Knowledge]

They both

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Now this is all being said while acknowledging that Sting has had some crap in TNA as well

That whole Joker thing was a hot mess

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

I dont wanna hear this b.s about "being scared how his character would be treated..." Its fcking wrestling. Who cares. Stop taking yourself so seriously. So you might have to lose a match --- Jeez Sting, you've only made millions of dollars in your career.

HOW DO YOU THINK HE MADE THOSE MILLIONS, BROTHER? DOING JOBS FOR EVERYBODY AND SELLING EVERY MOVE LIKE YOU WERE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING IS THE REASON LOSERS LIKE DOLPH ZIGGLER NEVER REALLY MAKE IT, DUDE! YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S GOT IN THAT BRIEFCASE, MEAN GENE? HAM AND EGGS, BROTHER!

People seriously need to let this go already. Sting's 54 and Undertaker can barely walk. It's over, it's never going to happen, move on to more realistic things.

I'm sick of hearing about people crying over this match not happening or Sting fukking over the fans (a ridiculous, impossible proposition. Wrestler's wrestle more to satisfy their own markisms than anything. They, fundamentally, do not wrestle for you) or whatever. He didn't want to do it. Point blank, period. And now the time for it to happen has passed. Grow up.

man STFU this thread was started to grab information as to why it never happened and what a lost opportunity it has been for the WWE. I think most are already at the point in realizing that it will never come to light.

Thats the problem with some of you cats in here...just trying to talk business behind the business and trying to figure out why certain things never went down and go off on a pointless rant that people need to grow up and let it go. I think its a legitimate question to bring up by someone who is out of the loop with this. Nobody is crying if it never happens at this point either.

how is sting going to the wwe for a dream program with undertaker "a ridiculous and impossible proposition'"?

Sting already exposed and went over mark when mark was working at his highest quality ever, workrate wise.


Go YouTube Halloween havoc,.......

sting made the right choice.
Why destroy and let them make a mockery of his legacy.
When he already was outdrawing the company as a top face before, the wwf regrouped.
Plus, had his draw as a top face upended by clique rules.
Why go to a company that continues to operate via clique rules.
When those said political climate and gamesmanship.
Already ruined an entire company.
Plus, destroyed the perfect payoff, as well.
On top of destroying,...
The last boom period in both companies.

Sting is fine,....
In my Gen as a child,...
He was the highest quality babyface.
His legacy is fine.
Why go to a company that purposefully attempts and usually succeeds in upending it.

Joker sting,...
At that time was, the greatest on screen character in all of wrasslin worldwide.
he was brilliant every week and created yet another parallel to his legacy as a character.
That had great evolution to explain how many times he was double crossed.
Plus how he used the zany to antagonize hogun, back into a bf as a payoff.
On top of the most over the top entertaining vignettes and appearances on screen as well.

It was fan created.

It was also, fun for the time, as well.
As it was a great feeler to judge fan interest over the internet on the possibility of seeing them square off.

Sting was smart enough to know that he was never WWE material, if onl his delusional fans could see this. I mean I loved sting back in WCW hey day, but yall actually want to see a person using a 80's face painting gimmick fight one of the goats

Sting was a bigger star and on top before the Undertaker was ever given his big push in pro wrestling in 1990 and beyond. He didn't turn face until 1992 with the Jake the Snake Roberts program. And Sting makes more than 500k in TNA..he makes close to a million like Angle does.

When fans thought Sting was gonna be at that Raw the week after Rock returned, they were going nuts. They REALLY wanted it to be true.

Imagine Sting off brand Goofy ass on the Mic in the E, fans would shyt on him relentlessly. Sting simply wouldn't be able to swim, I think a heel Taker wouldn't even be able to save him

Hmm..sounded like he and Hogan had EITHER the promo of the week last week or the second best one.
