The fact that Sting was in WWE and they didn’t at the very least have a face off between Sting and Undertaker is one of the biggest fumbles in WWE history.
@@crashpalAnd that is why I refuse to watch WWE and haven't watched it for many years. Sting was always worried that Vince wouldn't do right by the Sting character and he was absolutely right.
Sting going to the WWE was a huge mistake and the WWE dropped the ball. Sting knows it that's why he went to aew to get talent over and be protected. He has control over his character and free reign how to end it. Sad we never see these two legends
I mean only other person I can think of is Ric Flair to get that high outside of WWE in the last 30ish years. Even though he was in WWE for a while, he was already a cemented superstar without them
I always saw Sting, especially back in the days as Crow Sting, as WCW's Undertaker. He stayed there and have been loyal to the end, he even sunk with the ship, as a captain would do. They had a really similar, sinister aura, they struck fear when they approached the ring, and so on. It's a shame we never saw a match between these two. It would have been a WrestleMania main event caliber match, and would have been a total draw. I wonder what went through Vince's mind to not even have the idea of that match, and capitalize a max on it.
@@EternalxFrostit never had given a bigger Match as this. Sting said in an Interview that he wants to fight undertaker at Wrestlemania but vince doesn't wanted it.
@@EternalxFrostobviously Vince wasn't that much of a mastermind as he would of got "BIG" ratings if it were undertaker vs sting. He's made so many poor decisions in WWE lol
I like that The Undertaker didnt just disappear into retirement. Hes still out and about doing this and that. Keeping busy. Just cause you cant go in the ring anymore doesnt mean you dont have anything to offer.
I’d argue that he’s actually showing guys who are about to retire exactly how to do it! He saved all of his best stories, he’s giving good advice, he’s making his occasional appearances, he’s happy and healthy, etc.
He's basically turned over a whole new page, and I love that he's not so much "Undertaker" these days, but more "'Taker" or even just Mark, shooting the breeze, telling his stories and showing us all a completely different side of him that we never got to experience in WWF/E.
well he did recent get on Nxt and and gave breaker a chokeslam last thing he said before his retirement was never say never so he may at some point do 1 more match for a special event or something
Sad that the reason Sting stayed away from the WWE for all those years is exactly what ended up happening to him once he joined. So much potential with Sting on the roster...and they made him job to HHH right out of the gate. Undertaker v Sting was something every wrestling fan has wanted for a loooooong time...just sad we never got it when we actually could have.
Just exemplifies the ego of both paul and vinny! We can't put this guy over, we didn't create him! Honestly paul can't carry Stings jock! If paul didn't marry into the family he never would have gotten over like he did! Sting actually worked for everything he ever got out of this business!
@@wrestlingNOTsportsentrtanmnt And yet they put over Shinsuke, AJ, Sami and KO,.. The list may go on. Also, Sting vs HHH happened only two years before Roman vs Taker took place, in all of it disastrous glory. Now imagine that instead of Roman we had a 55 years old Sting.
Undertaker was Mean Mark Calloway in WCW and he was on his way back to WCW be4 the biker gimmick. That's how he got the green light from Vince to do it. He's loyal to a fault.
@@younglove3362 Taker said he thought about it and that there was an opportunity through Nash, but never seriously considered it. He wasn't never on his way. By that logic, Sting was also loyal to a fault. He was in the same boat in '90 or '91 when he was thinking about Flair's recommendation to go to WWE before he talked himself out of it.
I’ve actually never even thought about this happening & never understood the comparisons. I would’ve always loved to see Taker & Abyss stare off though & have a match. But then again others would say “but what about Kane?” & I’d say “what about him? Taker vs Abyss is money, but Abyss Vs Kane … idk”.
@@packedentertainment2866 I'm with you. I don't get the hype for Undertaker vs Sting. I wanted to see prime Lord of Darkness Deadman version of The Undertaker vs prime Umaga. Now that would have been a showdown for the ages. Umaga was a speedy gonzalez fast buck
@@caballerosalasYes but people wanted to see them both in the primes of their characters. Taker was still a green rookie when he faced surfer sting in WCW. People wanted the Deadman vs The Crow.

@@CoolBlueVirgo Yes. I always felt that Undertaker's streak deserved to be ended by an equal Icon, not by a wrestler that is coming up like a final boss thing. The only Icon still standing equal to him at that point still wrestling and doing it as well and doing it for wrestling itself still, was Sting.
It was WCW which at the time was a promotion existing within the NWA umbrella. The very next year though in 1991, the WCW would split from the NWA and have their own World Heavyweight Championship .@@jhendley3502 Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/0WnvmI0zl4w/v-deo.html

Taker really is a class act. WWE did drop the ball , but in all fairness to them. Wrestling styles more than marquee names make good matches. This is one time I'm not sure this would have been a great match. We'll never know.
I appreciate The Undertaker's kind words to Sting...ive always loved them both just the mention of him and Sting in a match just makes my imagination go wild...the Dead man vs the Icon Sting..the Tombstone/Choke slam/ Last ride/Gates of Hell vs the Stinger splash/Scorpion death lock/Scorpion Death drop...i can just imagine them both kicking out of each other's moves...hahaha he said I'd a killed him good fun good fun...it would make my day just to see them in the ring together even if they didn't wrestle just to shake hands and talk to each other on the mic
Should've happened in 2015 but of course, HHH had to beat him at WM and Vince wanted to spit on WCW one last time which made no sense because it was out of business for 14 years at that point.
Makes me mad their excuse to have HHH defeat Sting was so HHH could look "strong" for a potential match against the Rock at next year's Mania but of course that never happened.
@@83dude ok but undertaker and Sting are even bigger alphas because they did what they did without hooking up with the bosses or anybody else's daughter plus I've meet sting and he is as advertised a strong Christian man who treats everyone with respect

20 years ago, Undertaker vs Sting would have been one of those for the ages! Like Undertaker vs Mankind Hell in a Cell, Sting vs Ric Flair for the title, Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat for the title. Just an incredible match man.
You know what, unlike anyone else’s retirement… Sting announcement really feels like the end of an era. He was a childhood hero of mine since like 93. Crazy he still Wrestling.
Taker is right Vince would never allow sting to beat him the fact that Sting was on top of his game by 1990 and Taker wasn't on his til the late 90s Sting is all class
These guys made our childhood great even when wrestling organisation said don't try this at home we would still try it with our family and friends breaking furniture and beds 😂 Of course without getting injured.
Undertaker is the old school ,it is kind of said and at the same time nice to see him being out of character , when I was young I would have never in my life thought I would see the taker retire , to me he was always a constant but now as we all know time and tide wait for no one.
Wow! Nice to see The Undertaker and Mr. Bill Apter. They both look great. Nice props for Sting and I'm glad that he took a few minutes to say hello and wish Sting well. The Match. THE MATCH that so many wrestling fans around the World want to see will probably only happen on a video game somewhere. These guys are to old and to tired to go buring down the House for 10 or 15 minutes, 20 minutes anymore. I wish them both the best and Happy Retirement to two Childhood Heroes of Mine. We'll settle for the stories and the occasional WrestleCon Expo or Event somewhere along the way!
The promo, build up and dynamics of this match would have been world breaking for the wrestling world... Like who would have been heel/face, what would spark sting/taker to go after the other, who would fire the first shot etc? Or maybe the timeline that we're in... Maybe this one is best left untold?
I'd say it was best left untold. In all honesty, especially when Sting went to WWE, they were both so far removed from their prime. The buildup and storyline could have been really awesome, but I think the match itself wouldn't have been anywhere near as great as we would have wanted and expected. And making everything make sense without having a clear cut heel/face could have been weird. Nobody EVER bought into Sting as a heel any time it was tried. It would have been a reach going either way. The truth is, they would have made a much better TEAM rather than opponents.
I think one of the reasons the match never happened was because Vince didn't want to run the risk of Sting fans cheering over Taker fans, which could have likely happened. HBK (Mr. Wrestlemania himself, and someone that got cheered as much or more than Taker does) was booed at the Sting vs HHH match when he interfered; the only justice in that match.
I think WWE underestimated how over Sting's character would get, he got some of the biggest pops I can remember from the last decade. The crowd would've been split Rock/Hogan style.
If I were to book a Taker vs Sting match, I would book them in a Royal Rumble instead of WM. Hear me out. I would place them between 25-30. Once both of them are in the ring, have all the remaining wrestlers clear the ring to let them go at each other. A sign of respect to two legends. After a while, let the wrestlers back in to try to take them out. Then let Taker and Sting work together. Before the end, have them eliminated by some top stars. I'm not too keen on a 1vs1 match because in a way, I want both of them to preserve their legacy. We know that at the end of the day, they would give a top notch match but whoever loses will have that footnote in their legacy.
Two biggest misses in WWE history was Hogan vs. Flair at Wrestlemania VIII and Undertaker vs. Sting at Wrestlemania 31. Why bring Sting in and not put him in a match with the Undertaker?!
Oddly enough the undertaker last wcw match was against Sting. Sting won that match. With all that being said The undertaker speak very well about Sting. In my opinion sting retired in 2001 but just came back for 20+ more years to add to his legacy. Truly proud to be a little stinger. Thank you sting. Congratulations to the undertaker on the award.
The fact that Sting was in WWE and they didn’t at the very least have a face off between Sting and Undertaker is one of the biggest fumbles in WWE history.

Don’t forget that Flair and Sting did start their careers when the territories were still functioning
Those two are the definition of professional wrestling
Agree and I have no problem saying they were the heart and soul of their companies both WCW AND when it was WWF had wrestlers but these two were loyal

My opinion Vince never liked Sting that is why Sting was wasted in the WWE
If I were to book a Taker vs Sting match, I would book them in a Royal Rumble instead of WM. Hear me out. I would place them between 25-30. Once both of them are in the ring, have all the remaining wrestlers clear the ring to let them go at each other. A sign of respect to two legends. After a while, let the wrestlers back in to try to take them out. Then let Taker and Sting work together. Before the end, have them eliminated by some top stars. I'm not too keen on a 1vs1 match because in a way, I want both of them to preserve their legacy. We know that at the end of the day, they would give a top notch match but whoever loses will have that footnote in their legacy.
If Seth hadn't injured Sting at Night of Champions 2015 it would've happened at Wrestlemani 32. 😔
Yeah and I've always even before that match though they should have outlawed that damn buckle pomb of his after it injured fin Balor
How
Not going to lie when I heard that knock I thought it was going to be Sting himself
Two biggest misses in WWE history was Hogan vs. Flair at Wrestlemania VIII and Undertaker vs. Sting at Wrestlemania 31. Why bring Sting in and not put him in a match with the Undertaker?!
Dream match man
Oddly enough the undertaker last wcw match was against Sting. Sting won that match. With all that being said The undertaker speak very well about Sting.
In my opinion sting retired in 2001 but just came back for 20+ more years to add to his legacy. Truly proud to be a little stinger. Thank you sting. Congratulations to the undertaker on the award.
Sting vs The Undertaker would have been the match of the century.
Most people don’t actually know that sting and undertaker actually did wrestle in their early days. Sting beat him.
Very much pre icons though
If only the stars had aligned. Two true greats of respective companies.
Sting should get the Win
No he shouldn't he's a boring Crow rip off

Thank you bill for asking Stinger questions!
Bill needs to retire asap
Is undertaker challenging sting? 😊
I never understood why Taker-Sting was this match everyone seemed to want.
With all respect to sting. Undertaker is on another level
I agree Taker is better in EVERY way
@@grant1739 I have a g 🔫
TAKER seems like a laid back cool ass dude
Could of had Taker vs Sting but nooooooooooo.
Typical waste of time from the wwe and not giving fans what they want to see
Spot on. Trips just had to wrestle him first. What an asshole.
Even a face off in the ring would destroy the internet.
They did wrestle each other though...Just not as The Undertaker.
I could have sworn that they had at least one match against each other in WCW, before he went to WWE and became the Undertaker.
Doesn't Sting also use the Tombstone as part of his regular moveset ? 😅
Yep! Plus we had Disco Inferno using the Stone Cold Stunner as his finisher. 😂
@@mattb6369 Yea, but i believe Disco renamed the move as something else right ?
@@nicholashaan7345yep, think he called it the chartbuster
Boy that sounded sincere rip bless you baba
Who would win? Whoever Vince said would win. Don't forget what business you're in, guys.
My two favorite goats of all time in my book
"I'd have killed him" Proof that taker buried wcw talent
The ultimate dream match that MUST happen‼️
Not going to happen
😮they wrestled in wcw
Fun fact: Taker actually did wrestle Sting in his WCW days. Surfer Sting vs Mean Mark Callous happened in 1990.
i would pay to see them have a face off only.... whilst in their 90's ... two legends of the game
