Talks are so far on that ive read several rumoured reports stating theres a chance that, if creative sort out his angle, he could appear at the Rumble. If thats the case then they cant throw him into the match as Batista is winning it, would ruin any chance they have to build him up.

I would prefer they caught a glimpse of him in the rafters - imagine if JR was on commentary that would sell it incredibly. "Wait....WAIT A MINUTE! OH MY GOD....THATS...THATS.... .THATS STING!!! STING IS HERE!" Michael Cole sucks donkey balls at commentating, its awful. Then introduce him as the man fated to end the streak, the last stand of WCW against the titan of WWE.

On a side note theyre looking at using him as "The Man Called Sting" - i cant be the only one to remember that entrance music ha ha

Yes! I mentioned this in another thread: have him reprise the WCW/nWo "Crow" gimmick he did for a year. That is the perfect way to bring him in.

If he gets a spot on the card, it's not because of fan interest or drawing power, as evidenced by the sparse crowds at TNA live shows, it's because he has a lot of friends high up on the WWE totem pole.

TNA itself wasnt a good measure of his appeal i dont think, the company is so much smaller and garners limited interest regardless of who was wrestling. If he gets on the card he'll have earned it by looking at what hes done for the industry. Its him or one of the clowns you see every week on Raw and i know who i would rather pay to see.

It seems that I also heard rumor of him and Taker. I'm all for him coming I with the Crow gimmick. Anything would be better than the bubblegum bullshit they're doing.

If Sting does appear, who, then, becomes the best wrestler never to work for MacMahon?

Can you count TA with his shortened career.

Koloff maybe... I did always like him a lot.

Karl,

Did your dad ever work for McMahon?

If not, he'd be up there.

Vern Gagne, as far as I can tell, never worked for Vince or his father.

He was always against the WWE especially since the miss use and burial of former NWA WCW stars. Again...money is talks but I doubt it.

When Sr was running things promotors back then would send guys all over to help each other out. My dad worked for Sr a few times, nothing major.
At one point he was offered a job by McMahon via Samartino , but at the time he was making really good money working for Watts So he didn't go.
81 or 82 as he was winding down he had another opportunity but was ready to hang up the trunks. My brother was just born and I would soon follow and he didn't want to miss out with his second fam like he did the first. Shit he was also 50 years old too.
That being said he use to say it was a huge mistake not ever going to NY.

He would've been a good heel for Bruno, and had a history with Pedro Morales.

That said, the heels never hung around for long. They'd have a match with Bruno, if McMahon thought the match could sell out the Garden again, there would be an encore, usually a Texas Death Match. Then the heel would be gone and someone else would appear on the scene.
