Again, if Sting is going to wrestle at Wrestlemania, putting him against Taker is foolish. Either Taker's streak gets broken by an aging wrestler or the aging wrestler you brought in to give a spark jobs in his PPV debut, perhaps his WWE match debut.

 

If Sting is going to wrestle at WM, it makes more sense to team him with Taker, then build to a split and do a match at SummerSlam. If you don't pair Sting with Taker, you put Sting against a WWE upper midcarder who isn't likely to be pushed to the main event any time soon so Sting can get a win to build momentum and thus not look like a loser the instant he arrives.

 

True, Sting is at the end of the road, but if you are going to use him, let him build momentum for a couple of months and then you can have him starting putting others over. If all Sting does is job, a win for a young WWE guy becomes more meaningless with each passing month.

 

That being said, it would probably be best if Sting just agrees to a WWE Legends deal, accepts a HOF induction and gets used in a non-wrestling role, as they are doing with Booker and are about to do with Nash.

I still think the match ought to be Taker/Sting vs Kane/Barrett which ties up all the loose ends from last year nicely. If they want to give Jackson a rub too they can add Nash in as the third guy. Have Sting work FIP. Or hell. They could just have a supermatch with Taker/Sting/Nash/Show vs all of Corre and Kane. Just a feel good thing.

Now it's obviously 'Taker, after they played the video with "Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down." But the very first video would've gotten them an F for plagiarism from a teacher grading them, as they totally stole Sting's Starrcade video.
