the match wont be good but not many care it is a dream match up

 

[Xderby]

I mean, Sting can barely move

no

 

[The Sharpshooter]

I don't get it too. I was never a big WCW guy so I don't see the big appeal and from what I've seen of Sting in TNA he is way past it. A match that is considered a dream match that I think may disappoint.

 

[Joff]

I said something similar yesterday. I respect Sting, and consider him a legend, etc. But he is almost 60.


I'd rather see Taker face someone else next year for Mania.

 

[YoungGun_UK]

I get it, however I think its definitely passe' at this point. I see it no different to still wanting Goldberg/Austin in all honesty.

 

[Vin Ghostal]

It's a "dream match" people cooked up years ago and are still clinging to, regardless of the fact that Sting and Undertaker are a combined 104 years old.

Some fans will always cling to certain dream matches even if one or both guys are well past their "sell by" date. For example, if rumor of a Goldberg/Austin or even Hogan/Austin match began swirling, plenty of fans would get excited regardless of how old and broken down those guys are.

 

[Baphochrist]

At this point I've stopped worrying about how good the match will be or how much a response (or lack there of) Sting will get. It's something for the oldschool fans. The backbone of WWF/E vs. the backbone of WCW. Two dark/goth characters facing off. Two icons in the business who have never had a match before. Two guys who are respected by almost everyone else in the biz. It's a dream match pure and simple. I don't give two fucks if it's negative 5 stars, is met with crickets or anything else I'm going to mark out like a little bitch at the buildup alone, the match is almost like a ceremonial celebration for oldschool fans. The quality and results really doesn't matter.

 

[Jacare]

Why not have Sting come in for a match? I don't see how he's any worse than Brock (as an opponent for 'Taker).

 

[Stone Hot]

The storyline is what will matter most if this match happens. I just can't see sting hanging with the undertaker in the ring. I can't see sting letting undertaker put him in a hells a gate.

 

[@MrDrewFoley]

I don't get it either. A long time ago maybe but now. I suppose it depends on if you've watched Sting in TNA. If you haven't seen him at all since WCW was bought then it's probably a lot more exciting.

I'm sure the match would be good. I'm just not as interested as some others.

I'd much rather have Jake "the Snake" Roberts V Mankind but that has even less chance of happening.

 

[bingsa]

I agree the match would be no where near as good as it would have been 10 years ago but as someone who watched wrestling through the 90's I'd be pretty pumped for that match-up.

 

[A-C-P]

Taker/Sting makes TONS of sense to anyone that watched through the entire times of Taker and Sting's careers. Though the WWE would have to find a way to make it relevant to ALL their fans if they decide to do this match at some point.

Good post. I can understand all of that.

I would have prefered ans Sting VS Austin match once upon a time, if I'm totally honest

 

[JoeMcKim]

I wanted to see this match at one point too, about ten years ago... At this point in time though they missed their opportunity. You can't turn Undertaker heel at this point, especially only working 1 month a year and Sting character doesn't work well as a heel either.

If they put the mask back on Kane, I wouldn't mind seeing a 3 month program of Sting vs. Kane. Then it could lead to an Undertaker vs. Sting for next at WM but not this year.

 

[Sids_chickenleg]

Nostalgia that's why. I know it won't be a great match but the 80s and 90s mark in me we love to see two of the biggest icons of that time FINALLY collide. I would love to watch on the psychology alone and wouldn't expect a 5 star technical match.

They did have a good little match on Saturday Night in 1994 at least.

 

[ShieldOfJustice]

I know people say "look at Sting's TNA work over the last year or two" to say he can't have a good match anymore. But I guarantee, if he has a retirement match with the Undertaker at WM, it would be the best match Sting has worked in years.

 

[Deptford]

It's a dream matchup.

Sting can still wrestle better than Cena can and I still wanna see Cena vs. Taker at Mania. Idk. Sometimes all these "rules" don't apply to the streak matches.
