Taken from LordsofPain.net:
Sting recently had a very interesting interview with IGN.com to promote the new Legends of Wrestling: Showdown video game. Sting clarified in the article that he would love to work for WWE. He commented by saying, "If it were done properly, I would do it. This last Wrestlemania would've been a good one, Wrestlemania XX, just the fact that I've never been a part of one. I would definitely do it. You know, Vince and I have talked several times over the past few years. The Wrestlemania before, he wanted me to repel out of the ceiling and do something with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and we were set to do it, we were going to do it, but once the attorney's get going, and it's not my attorney, he's only doing what I ask him to do, but once their attorney's get involved, it's tough. When I talk to Vince, it's easy. Anyway, I had to call Vince and tell him that we couldn't do it. He's been great every time I've talked to him, so you never know. It's something I'm interested in."
Sting also clarifies in the article that he is not an NWA: TNA superstar. He simply says that the reason that he did four shows for them was to return a favor for Jerry Jarrett, but at first he really didn’t want to do it. Sting said that he is flattered that Shelton Benjamin uses a lot of his moves in the ring and really wants to meet him. He also declares that the “Crow” gimmick is his favorite.
Wow.
I would mark out like crazy if Sting showed up on WWE TV.
HOWEVER, in order to make his possible WWE run a sucess, Sting needs to demand complete creative control over his character. That way, he won't be able to be shat on by WWE management, the Creative/Writing team, or Triple H himself.
Thoughts?
