Undertaker will SHIT all over Stings legacy at Wrestlemania XXX

[shalliin]

Sting doesn't have a legacy except as a cheap rip off of a dead movie star's character who's best days ended 20 years ago. He was a secondary player in the two biggest storylines in his company in a period that was 15 years ago. He's coasted on a unearned and over blown reputation for the last 15 years. He said he didn't go to wwe because he wasn't sure how they would use him? they would have used him for what he was at that time:a washed up, over rated midcarder who conned fans into supporting to cover up his rapid decline in skill with a stolen gimmick.

Sting just got out of TNA by losing to Magnus and EC3. His legacy can't be hurt by losing to Taker at WM, a statistic that's on greats like Snuka, Jake the Snake, Edge, Kane (twice), HBK (twice), HHH (thrice) and future HOF'ers like Orton, Punk, Batista and Big Show. It's actually quite the accomplishment, as people will forever debate who came the closest to actually doing it. Shitting on a legacy of a WCW guy has been done before (DDP, Steiner, almost Booker T which is why Sting was scared), true, but not to Sting. Too valuable, and Vince is past the point where he needs to do it to prove he was better than Ted; it's been 13 years.

If you're gonna bring in Sting, bringing him in just to lose to the Undertaker right away isn't the best move. Sting needs to show up sometime after WrestleMania 30, and be built up over the course of the next year to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 31. Yes, he is an established WCW star and a legend in the business. But he also needs to be established in the modern WWE. Promoting Sting heavily on the WWE Network is a great start, they need to use history to their advantage while at the same time creating their own.

There are other big matches that Sting could have in the WWE before ultimately facing Taker. I can imagine a scenario where Randy Orton comes out on the RAW after WrestleMania 30, bitching about how he lost his Title (to Bryan hopefully) and saying he wants a shot at him. Then the entire arena goes dark, and a spotlight illuminates a figure standing in the rafters. It's Sting. RAW goes off the air.

With that segment right there, you introduce Sting in an impactful way and set him up in a nice first feud with a guy who is a solid worker. Orton can say that he used to be called the Legend Killer for a reason and that he will kill the legend of the man they call Sting. You do Sting/Orton at a PPV, and Sting goes over. From there you can move into a feud with Sting against the Authority, similar to when Sting feuded with that other faction...
Sting vs. Triple H is another big match you could do, possibly at SummerSlam, and would follow logically from that angle. Once again, Sting goes over. Triple H doesn't need to win.

Doing Sting vs. the Wyatt Family is also an option, if you wanted Sting to give the rub to an up and coming guy. It would be possible to put Wyatt over while still keeping Sting looking strong.

The last Sting match I would do is Sting vs. John Cena. The current face of the WWE vs. the face of WCW/NWA. Ideally, this match would take place around Survivor Series, and I think it would be awesome to see. Cena is a proven big match performer, and the crowd would be hot for this match. Sting beats Cena and as he is celebrating in the ring, the arena goes dark. A spotlight illuminates a figure standing in the rafters. It's the Undertaker. The stage is set.

Undertaker vs. Sting at WrestleMania 31, Taker goes over but it means so much more because Sting has been built up in the WWE over the last year. The build-up to this match alone would be so fun to watch, because they could do a lot of cool symbolism involving the two characters. Imagine segments where the Undertaker is in the ring and a video plays on the titantron showing a tombstone that says 22-1 with a crow perched atop. Or a segment where Undertaker does his signature kneeling pose in the ring while Sting looks on from above. You get the idea.

I agree pretty much 100%.

Sting's biggest gimmick has been his Crow schtick that had him sitting on the sidelines for nearly two years.

There was absolutely nothing to celebrate about that. That was stupidity. Call me crazy, but you don't build a legacy by NOT WRESTLING.

Sting's best days were the blond spiked hair surfer dude who showed genuine energy in the ring, and in promos.

Meh.

Dude, what you booked is literally the best way to make it certain Taker would win. People are smart now and that is like booking 101 in 1989.

You want the outcome to be uncertain? Have Taker say it's his last match. Everyone knows the code of going out on your back.

Yeah, make it sound like Sting is going to send the Dead Man back to Death Valley. They could HYPE the shit out of the match because it would supposedly be Taker's retirement match, however it would be Sting's retirement match, giving him that big match he needs to end his career.

Sting has already beaten Taker way back in WCW where he was known as Mean Mark Callous so losing would still only make it 1-1.

The winner or loser means nothing in this match. It's all about the spectacle that alot of people have wanted to see these 2 characters go
Head to head since Sting took up the Crow gimmick (which Is my personal favorite of all time )

I firmly believe that Undertaker will retire with his WM streak intact.

I remember reading on a message board that Taker has no problem losing the streak, but he wants to choose who he deems worthy to beat him. Vince, however, won't book the Streak to be broken, because it is a marketing tool used to promote Wrestlemania each year.

That is a reason that Sting-Taker could be an option. Because it would sell a Wrestlemania. It isn't about the result, but about how many people want to see that match. Sting may not agree to this, but maybe the right price and the right occassion, he may consider doing the match.

However, it will be totally dependent on Sting. It will only happen if he wants it to happen.
