swiv2d I honestly think he shouldn't of had the streak broken. But I agree Lesnar had no right to end it. If anything, HBK should've ended it in their match of the year: WM 25.
MCShvabo I knew it would've happened eventually. If anyone should've done it I think HBK deserved to. The two have such a long history in the ring. It would've been fitting.
TheIntelligentDragon Academy Yeah HBK is legend no questions there but if streak really had to be broke i think that they should have used someone who they can capitalize in future
Taker losing this year DOES NOT diminish the match. If anything it helps the match be MORE ABOUT THE MATCH, than the streak or rather Sting vs. The Streak. This (albeit far to late) match of Taker/Sting is still a dream match and it should be about the dream match. Leave the streak out of it. Especially if both these guys are planning to "retire" after.
Am I the only one who thinks the whole Takers streak being broken is the gimmick leading to Sting vs Taker? I mean now NO ONE believes it can happen, they wont see it coming. I think it actually points out the obvious fact that its gonna happen.
been watching sting since i was 5 n there is noooooooo one who brings more energy into wrestling!!! n he has always wrestle like an imortal...there will never be a wrestler to over shadow him he made wcw n tna worth watching imagine that for a start!!! sting was is n always will be the one legend who stands out among legends like no other
great interview..really good questions.. especially the last one.. i think the whole Starcade situation with Sting vs Hogan maybe or almost the same as the Bret Hart screw job? Or Hogan VS Jeff Jarret.. where Jeff just layed down as soon the match started to just hand over the belt to Hogan..
I somehow Think that Undertaker will be Back, no way hell he wants to end his career, disappointing the fans, He had that bell rung during the match, No way in fuck, can he be satisfied with calling it a career. He is one of my fellow Texans, we are a different breed , than the rest, Taker is a man's man, I think we will get to see STING VS TAKER. Jim Ross had the idea of a double retirement match, Meaning ,no matter what in the match, Both Would retire after the match. That would make the match ,even more special, It would be the end of 2 Wrestling Legends, In my opinion, that match would need to go on last, Imagine, the ending WM 31 ,the fans loudly cheering Both STING and Undertaker as they Say "goodbye". It's a pipedream, But I wish it would happen.
It would be a good way for them both to go out kinda, but I dont know why Jim Ross would make it better? But yeah the gimmick they both had in the 90s seem to make a match made in heaven :3
Bubba James He's facing Wyatt this year at WM. Then Sting at WM 32 where they both will most likely retire together. Both matches ought to be good. But the Sting match will be the best.
I wish they didn't bring him in as Crow Sting. I think now he's used to being 'the icon' and having an epic guitar riff entrance theme and joker face paint and after being that in tna for so long, they should've just kept it
oh sam. you meet my fav wrestler of all time... and then you ask him what ive always wondered about (the starcade finish)... you do good things sam. very good things. (im not being sarcastic i just love you) (ok the love bit was a joke but you do do good things) Keep it up =D
My thing is, I dont taker vs sting (at mania) because I wouldnt want neither to lose. Stings first and maybe last match in wwe cant be beating taker at mania after he lost to lesnar, then taker is 21-2. And I would hate for sting to finally get a match, and lose.
People talk a lot of shit about the "IWC". But, it was because of those fans on the internet sharing video of Sting and keeping his legacy alive and well on the internet for so long that people remember who he is. Most certainly his work in TNA helped keep him in the public spotlight as well. Most of the people that watch WWE watch other promotions as well because they're true wrestling fans. He needs to wrestle just *one* match to validate himself that much more.
I really don't want to buy into the wwf brand. But if Sting is in this 2k15, then I'm all in. I'm not sure if my statement is irrelevant, but is there a tna video game???
Yeah, TNA had one video game (Not counting the mobile ones or I think there was one for like the DS or something) but it didn't do well at all. Unfortunately, WWE 2K15 isn't getting the best reviews, either. It got a "Mediocre" rating from IGN. Haven't played it but I did see a video of Sting's entrance and I just think he looks "off". If I ever want to play a great "newer" WWF(E) game, I'd probably just get 2K14 and download the Sting CAWS.
I'm more curious than anything about what direction WWE will take with Sting. I mean at this point the guy is a living Legend who attained his status *without* the WWE, so it'll be interesting to see who Sting ends up paired with for a match. Because I have no doubt he'll have one. My only reservation is that The Undertaker still has many persistent injuries.
I realize wwe sucks now. but its fucking sting we're talking about. I know the streak is broken but stings my fucking hero and I want to see how he does in wwe
***** well I think the fact that lesnar beat the streak was complete bullshit. I mean. idk. all I want is to see sting. I'm interested in nothing in the wwe except for sting. everything else in the wwe sucks
I'd love to see sting vs shawn michaels @ some point,i'm thinking sting could beat taker to have shawns retirement clause dropped,maybe exchange a win and loss with him,having maybe a match with hhh ?(with a win of course),and ending with a loss to taker at wrestlemania. this would give taker back some credibility,and give sting a great retirement to his historic career. any thoughts?
Naif Gobory I highly doubt that. He was WCW''s crown jewel. WWE would never fuck with Sting in that way. He has say in whatever he does. He wont let himself be "talent enhancement".
Naif Gobory nope that is not true dude sting can fight and kick all of McMahon punks did you forget what did he did to nwo he teach them a lesson they did not forget and the nwo gone forever and kicked the neo bloods ass and make them gone like nwo and he still wrestle so tell me if he did kicked the nwo and neo blood ass he cann`t kick the McMahon punks ass
I wanted Sting vs Undertaker when Sting had long hair, now they are too old. Now Sting uses the bat as a walking stick and Taker needs The Minstry to keep him up right...took far too long
I only hope that if Taker and Sting wrestle, Vince takes charge of the storyline, it would be a disaster to allow the current creative team to book the promos and build up to such an epic match
now i get it... now i get the whole thing... reason for brock beating taker makes total sense..they wanted a big wwe name to bet taker to end the streak so he and sting and taker can have the wrestle mania match everyone wants sting can win. then taker losing his last to wrestle manias in a row can bow out gracefully and retire leaving sting vs brock next time
Undertaker is my fav of all time but age never escapes anybody. I was shocked that Undertaker vs HBK were able to put on the performance they did, considering their age.. Even Undertaker vs HHH at their last WM was good. Undertaker might have one more good WM match left in him. But I'm not sure about Sting. For this match to be good and not just HYPE, they would have to rehearse at least 3-months in advance. If they could pull that off, it could be a great match.
if sting would have came in the early 2000s when the invasion storyline was happening and after that i would have been hyped for him to come to wwe but now its w.e hes old and his attire looks nothing like he did back then
While I'm still not too keen on the idea, now I am somewhat more capable of accepting a Taker/Sting match then I was in the past. Because, even if you take away their age and how beat up both of them are, why would you have Sting have his first WWE match just to job and be another one of Undertaker's victims. That just didn't sound right to me. While now when Taker doesn't have a streak anymore, you can't tell who is going to win the match. I would like to see them work a program, why not, I'm only worried about how the actual match would look like. The possibility of such icons like Sting and Undertaker stinking up the joint at WM could be one of the biggest disasters in WWE history.
I like Sam, but his questions here couldn't be more general & run-of-the-mill. Sting must get so tired answering why he didn't join up with WWE and Taker situation..
Okay, so Sting is talking with WWE, but is he actually *with* them? As in, does he now have a contract with WWE? It doesn't really matter to me because Sting's got nothing to prove to me, but I feel like I need a straight answer.
Sting really does the Texas-two-step to be as vague as possible in answering what happened at Starrcade 97. C'mmon Sting, we all know! The "Orange Goblin's" massive ego got in the way and he convinced his Bisch to alter the finish. It should've been a squash and done.
Sting VS The Undertaker with no streak on the line makes the match more believable that Sting has a chance. Although I doubt they will take the "1 in 21-1" away from Brock Lesnar. He may be the only one who ever beats The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
Both Sting and, especially, the fans deserved a better finish at Starcade. The "This doesn't work for me, brother" mentality ruins careers and businesses and is just 100% selfish.
Everyone keeps saying sting is old and tired and yet just last year he kept wrestling for TNA. Maybe he is just tired of wresting but we all know that he has plenty of matches to give. Maybe 2 years more. Just sucks he gave his last few years to trashy tna.
Sting Hogan reminded me of Steph/Brie. After all that buildup, Brie should have KILLED Steph. Instead, Stephanie controlled the entire match. Sting should have no sold the legdrop, there shouldn't have even been a ONE count, let alone a quick count. It's something that, if i'm editing for video, I'm going to make it look like a quick count. It's stuff like this that made me laugh when Hogan jobbed out to everyone in 03.
The hair is because he's in his mid 50s and is covering a massive bald spot on the back of his head. Hair really recedes, thins, and gets dry and frizzy for people that age. His hair looks like Doc Brown's at the end of his matches at this point.
Sting was always in the WWE games, because he was always one of the first wrestlers, that I created.
This will be the first time he'll be in the games officially, not as a Created Wrestler
If anyone had the right to defeat taker it has to be sting not lesnar
swiv2d I honestly think he shouldn't of had the streak broken. But I agree Lesnar had no right to end it. If anything, HBK should've ended it in their match of the year: WM 25.
TheIntelligentDragon Academy NO bro streak should never had be broken!
MCShvabo I knew it would've happened eventually. If anyone should've done it I think HBK deserved to. The two have such a long history in the ring. It would've been fitting.
TheIntelligentDragon Academy Yeah HBK is legend no questions there but if streak really had to be broke i think that they should have used someone who they can capitalize in future
True but better lesnar than roman :P
Nice interview! Very well conducted.
Taker losing this year DOES NOT diminish the match. If anything it helps the match be MORE ABOUT THE MATCH, than the streak or rather Sting vs. The Streak.

Rightttt
been watching sting since i was 5 n there is noooooooo one who brings more energy into wrestling!!! n he has always wrestle like an imortal...there will never be a wrestler to over shadow him he made wcw n tna worth watching imagine that for a start!!! sting was is n always will be the one legend who stands out among legends like no other
Man Sting v Undertaker would be good but can't see it happening, it should've been done 15 years ago
they should have done it at wm 27, it's too late
What it sounds like Sting is saying is, he's really only interested in one big cash match with the Undertaker.
Man i love Sting Cant Wait For His Debut!
I don't watch wrestling, but I saw Sting in the movie "The Encounter", He seems like a really nice person.
great interview..really good questions.. especially the last one.. i think the whole Starcade situation with Sting vs Hogan maybe or almost the same as the Bret Hart screw job? Or Hogan VS Jeff Jarret.. where Jeff just layed down as soon the match started to just hand over the belt to Hogan..
undertaker vs sting i need to see that!!
I somehow Think that Undertaker will be Back, no way hell he wants to end his career, disappointing the fans, He had that bell rung during the match, No way in fuck, can he be satisfied with calling it a career. He is one of my fellow Texans, we are a different breed , than the rest, Taker is a man's man, I think we will get to see STING VS TAKER.

It's a pipedream, But I wish it would happen.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if that is what in fact happens. And it would be a good way for them both to go out.
It would be a good way for them both to go out kinda, but I dont know why Jim Ross would make it better? But yeah the gimmick they both had in the 90s seem to make a match made in heaven :3
Oh haha yeah he does :p Make it him and Tony Schavoni. Would be cool to see them work together :3
Bubba James He's facing Wyatt this year at WM. Then Sting at WM 32 where they both will most likely retire together. Both matches ought to be good. But the Sting match will be the best.
***** I think that's the way it's going down. I'm most likely right as well. Maybe.
I think the fact that Sting is promoting him vs Taker is very good for the future.
I wish they didn't bring him in as Crow Sting. I think now he's used to being 'the icon' and having an epic guitar riff entrance theme and joker face paint and after being that in tna for so long, they should've just kept it
oh sam. you meet my fav wrestler of all time... and then you ask him what ive always wondered about (the starcade finish)... you do good things sam. very good things.
(im not being sarcastic i just love you)
(ok the love bit was a joke but you do do good things)
Keep it up =D
My thing is, I dont taker vs sting (at mania) because I wouldnt want neither to lose. Stings first and maybe last match in wwe cant be beating taker at mania after he lost to lesnar, then taker is 21-2. And I would hate for sting to finally get a match, and lose.
sting is the most caw in gaming history its crazy
People talk a lot of shit about the "IWC". But, it was because of those fans on the internet sharing video of Sting and keeping his legacy alive and well on the internet for so long that people remember who he is. Most certainly his work in TNA helped keep him in the public spotlight as well. Most of the people that watch WWE watch other promotions as well because they're true wrestling fans. He needs to wrestle just *one* match to validate himself that much more.
Sting Vs Kane.
*****
You know what i mean. Not Glenn Jacobs or any other incarnation of his during that time but Kane. That fight has never happened.
Sting vs hhh
Last man standing that would've been nice if they were in there prime too bad though
***** what in the fuck is KNOE? You mean KNOW. ENGLISH.
I really don't want to buy into the wwf brand. But if Sting is in this 2k15, then I'm all in. I'm not sure if my statement is irrelevant, but is there a tna video game???

Because I have no doubt he'll have one. My only reservation is that The Undertaker still has many persistent injuries.
My dream Sting match would be bleach blonde Sting vs. heel HBK back when he had Diesel as a bodyguard so around 94-95.
+aliensexgangchildren DAM TO BAD NO TIME MACHINE,FUCKING WOULD OF BEEN AWSOME, SHIT!!!!
I don't even watch wwe anymore. but once see sting, I have to watch it again.
I realize wwe sucks now. but its fucking sting we're talking about. I know the streak is broken but stings my fucking hero and I want to see how he does in wwe
***** well I think the fact that lesnar beat the streak was complete bullshit. I mean. idk. all I want is to see sting. I'm interested in nothing in the wwe except for sting. everything else in the wwe sucks

holy shit, I knew I subscribed to this for something
Sting is in the WWE. This is so crazy to me. Anybody else feel the same? It's so weird, not in a bad way of course.
Naif Gobory why man he is wonderfull
Naif Gobory I highly doubt that. He was WCW''s crown jewel. WWE would never fuck with Sting in that way. He has say in whatever he does. He wont let himself be "talent enhancement".
Naif Gobory man that reminds me of a lot of guys like kane big show etc they made them into such a joke
Naif Gobory nope that is not true dude sting can fight and kick all of McMahon punks did you forget what did he did to nwo he teach them a lesson they did not forget and the nwo gone forever and kicked the neo bloods ass and make them gone like nwo and he still wrestle so tell me if he did kicked the nwo and neo blood ass he cann`t kick the McMahon punks ass
Yeah, it's so surreal.
I wanted Sting vs Undertaker when Sting had long hair, now they are too old.
Now Sting uses the bat as a walking stick and Taker needs The Minstry to keep him up right...took far too long
"Taker vs Sting doesn't need the streak,a storyline..."
did you listen this,WWE??????
Smile lights up his face
I only hope that if Taker and Sting wrestle, Vince takes charge of the storyline, it would be a disaster to allow the current creative team to book the promos and build up to such an epic match
He was a TNA champ and a HOF
Sting didn't go away he was in TNA for years.
now i get it... now i get the whole thing... reason for brock beating taker makes total sense..they wanted a big wwe name to bet taker to end the streak so he and sting and taker can have the wrestle mania match everyone wants sting can win. then taker losing his last to wrestle manias in a row can bow out gracefully and retire leaving sting vs brock next time

I like Sam, but his questions here couldn't be more general & run-of-the-mill. Sting must get so tired answering why he didn't join up with WWE and Taker situation..
What is the fascination of Sting vs Undertaker ? I'd much rather see Sting vs The Rock or Sting vs Shawn Michaels.
It was the clash of gimmicks
I HAVE A XBOX ONE AND I PER ORDERING WWE2K15 TO PLAY AS STING AND ALSO A GRAT MATCH WITH STING WOULD BE STING VS HOUK HOUNG #RVD
It wouldn't happen. But I would have loved to see Sting vs. Steve Austin in their prime
stunning steve austin
Damn, he sounds so much like Nicholas Cage!
Other than Taker, Tell Trips to get Shawn Michaels out of retirement, have them face off at Wrestlemania. *"Mr. Wrestlemania V.S. The Franchise*"
anyone else think sting sounds like Bill Murray in this interview?
Sting you bastard Sting vs Taker could've definitely sold as recently as 2006-2008. Could've even happened on SmackDown to elevate that show again
second time in 16 damn years i've seen sting without his paint.
Okay, so Sting is talking with WWE, but is he actually *with* them? As in, does he now have a contract with WWE? It doesn't really matter to me because Sting's got nothing to prove to me, but I feel like I need a straight answer.
sting vs funaki will be my first match
I wish Sting n Jeff hardy had a wrestlemania match
He sounds like such a nice man to talk too be my dream come through
Sting vs undertaker would be a brilliant match!! Wwe make it happen
Sting really does the Texas-two-step to be as vague as possible in answering what happened at Starrcade 97. C'mmon Sting, we all know! The "Orange Goblin's" massive ego got in the way and he convinced his Bisch to alter the finish. It should've been a squash and done.
Sting should have went over clean vs HH at Starrcade 1997. Just a lousy ending to a great storyline.
good choices but i'd love to see zigglar and sting
Yeah, right.
No way Sting could keep up with Zigglar, I wouldn't see that being a good match...
Tinkidink If sting can keep up with Austin Aries and have a classic match he can keep up with Ziggler
Did he say that the early JCP/WCW was a 2nd class citizen?
I guess so. He wasn't wrong :/
Sting VS The Undertaker with no streak on the line makes the match more believable that Sting has a chance. Although I doubt they will take the "1 in 21-1" away from Brock Lesnar. He may be the only one who ever beats The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
Exactly. And sadly, I bet more people would have complained if Sting ended the streak instead of Lesnar.
Hey, Yo. My man Sting, Can still recall his days in the NWO Wolfpack. #NWO4Life.
You mean when they killed his amazing gimmick?
Sting Vs Shawn Michaels Would Be Great
sting vs randy ortin
+Razor Ramon Wolfpac for life
I don't give a crap I NEED Sting vs Taker I can't live with myself until that happens PLEASE!
Sting looks like James Hetfield here
You know...
Sting Vs Hulk Hogan Vs Kane Vs Undertaker
GOAT
Both Sting and, especially, the fans deserved a better finish at Starcade. The "This doesn't work for me, brother" mentality ruins careers and businesses and is just 100% selfish.
First, RKO vs Sting!!!
Sting should have a few good victories under him in WWE before the big match :3 Would make it more exciting :3
Btw I am taller then sting he is 6-2 I am 6-5
next person he should interview is dean ambrose haah but good interview in all.
Sting Vs Kane Vs Undertaker
When will he lace up his boots one more time
Hey
tna hasn't been around for sting to b in tna for" years"
Erm yes it has
Spike Dudley vs sting. Enough said
Everyone keeps saying sting is old and tired and yet just last year he kept wrestling for TNA. Maybe he is just tired of wresting but we all know that he has plenty of matches to give. Maybe 2 years more. Just sucks he gave his last few years to trashy tna.
well he's going up against seth rollins for the title so wowwww
Sting Hogan reminded me of Steph/Brie. After all that buildup, Brie should have KILLED Steph. Instead, Stephanie controlled the entire match. Sting should have no sold the legdrop, there shouldn't have even been a ONE count, let alone a quick count. It's something that, if i'm editing for video, I'm going to make it look like a quick count.
It's stuff like this that made me laugh when Hogan jobbed out to everyone in 03.
Sting vs triple h. Wrestlemania.
Put money on it
Sting vs HBK
sting
Sting vs. Bray Wyatt
I want sting to verse undertaker
crusty the clown!
So I had to let ‘em run it up
So Rich Ortiz lost alot of weight and is doing interviews now? Damn...
sting vs taker would b horrible there r much better opponents 4 him
WOOO!!! Do u really think that ure ready for the stinger?!?!
This interview was weak. Normally this guy does a great job, but this one was a miss.
Your never to old to wrestle. So let it happen
sting please come back to tna it's just not the same since you sold out
Ya know... Lmao
sting looks like ted nugent
Triple H vs. Sting.
Always wear sunglasses. People can't see reactions in your eyes
he looks like shawn michaels with an afro...
Sam Roberts > Kevin Pollak
why does he sound and look like dean ambrose with frizzy hair? :/ haha
The hair is because he's in his mid 50s and is covering a massive bald spot on the back of his head. Hair really recedes, thins, and gets dry and frizzy for people that age. His hair looks like Doc Brown's at the end of his matches at this point.
Sting beat the head off of HBK maybe he would grow up be a man
do they remember sting. horrible question. disrespectful
Undertaker should just stop. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Undertaker should skip Mania his body doesn't have it anymore.
When is he actually gonna wrestle? Taker is too old for a match.
