    God, Sting’s WWE run was a complete disaster. Not only did we not get the dream match between him and Undertaker, WWE made him look like a jobber. I mean for crying out loud he had four matches in that run and out of the four he only won two (although one he would win by dq the other which was a tag match he would win clean). The two matches he lost were improtant matches. The first was his debut match against Triple H at Wrestlemania and the second (which would be his final match for WWE) was against Seth Rollins for the WWE title at Night of Champions 2015
