Sting Reveals He Always Wanted To Have A Last Match With The Undertaker
Sting is highly regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, having cultivated a legacy over a career spanning five decades. ## Sting still holds hope for a match with The Undertaker, claiming that such a match is his "unfinished business" in wrestling. ## As noted, the match between both legends would never happen as despite Sting pitching the idea for a cinematic match with Undertaker, it was never approved, and Undertaker himself officially retired in 2020. ## Speaking with Paste Magazine, Sting assessed multiple reasons on why Sting Vs. Taker didn't take place. Sting starts off if Is there anything in wrestling that he hasn't accomplished that he still hopes to?## "There really isn’t anything, no, that I feel like I have to accomplish," Sting commented. "No. At one point I thought it was a cinematic match, at least, against Undertaker, you know when I was with WWE. But that was not going to happen. And I thought, you know, I didn’t want to just disappear, either. Yeah, I retired. I did a retirement speech and got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, blah blah blah." ## "I don’t want to just disappear. I always wanted to have that last match, and that never happened. And then Tony Khan called me, and I figured I’d just call Tony back, and see what’s going on. The rest is history. I’m glad I did what I did. It’s been a great experience. If I had to go out now, I could at least say I did a cinematic match with some very talented people, and got rave reviews. What a way to go out." ## "I don’t care about who I wrestle, I just want people to walk away saying, “oh, that was so good, that was incredible. What a great match.” And as far as me personally, it’s like, “how does he do it, at his age? How does he do it?” I want them to say, “he’s still bringing it.” I love to entertain the people." ## "To this day, I honestly don’t know. I don’t even know, it could be Taker. Maybe Taker just never really wanted to work with me. Maybe they brought it up and he kind of snubbed his nose and said he didn’t really want to do that. For whatever reason, even though Taker and I have always gotten along great. I don’t think he has issues with me, I certainly don’t have any issues with him." ## "I just have a great amount of respect for him. But I have no idea why that match never happened. I think it was not right that it didn’t happen. It’s something that I believe should have happened. I said it for 20 years, I made it clear, you know, “I’d love to have that match, I’d love to have one with that guy.” With the two characters, I had so many ideas of how we could’ve done that, and made it definitely a night that nobody would ever forget. But you know what, I’m here, I’m with AEW, I love what’s going on here, and I love what’s getting ready to happen. And I’m glad I made that move and came here." ## If you use any of the quotes in this article, please credit Paste Magazine ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk.
