These latest Sting to WWE rumors have received increased attention after last week's Raw and the cryptic "2/21/11" promo video. The video didn't reveal who it was about, but showed a figure wearing boots and a long dark trenchcoat. That would seem to be the look of The Undertaker, but could also be Sting.
A recent report from NY Daily News claimed WWE had wrapped up a deal with Sting, but other wrestling sources are saying this doesn't appear true. Still, it's very likely that Vince McMahon is waving as much money as he possibly can in the painted face of the Stinger.
Sting has never set foot in a WWE wrestling ring, but most fans would love to see it. The way the rumors are going right now, he would sign with WWE to possibly wrestle one of his last matches in pro wrestling for Vince McMahon's company. He would also be an induction into WWE Hall of Fame since he was a part of the WCW company which Vince bought up years ago.
The early Wrestlemania 27 rumors have Undertaker going up against Smackdown "Corre" leader Wade Barrett. It would make sense based on the fact Barrett's former Nexus crew was responsible for helping bury Undertaker in his "Buried Alive" match against Kane. However, fans would probably flock to see the Wrestlemania 27 Pay-Per-View extremely fast if they saw a marquee matchup of "Sting vs The Streak."
A few pro wrestling fans in the Roanoke area gave their thoughts on this. John Conners is positive on the news saying, "yes I do think WWE will be able to sign Sting. And Sting vs Streak would be amazing." Charles Price said, "It will be interesting to see him (Sting) hopefully go up against HHH or eve HBK one more time at Wrestlemania...or even against Taker for his last match."
HBK is scheduled to be inducted into this year's WWE Hall of Fame class and has vowed never to wrestle again, keeping his promise to The Undertaker and wrestling fans. That's because HBK, Shawn Michaels, lost to Undertaker in a "Career vs The Streak" match at Wrestlemania 26. Wouldn't it be interesting if Sting was potentially going to end that legendary "streak" at Mania?
Do you think Sting will sign with WWE? Is Sting in the 2/21/11 video promo being shown by WWE, or is that Undertaker?
