@@davidepannone6021 oh, ok. There was no angle, though. Streak was broken, and there was no time to make up a new story in place. They pitched that antiauthority thing for SO long. That's two matches that went wrong, Taker Brock and Sting HHH. Sting HHH could've been fine if they made it not just a street fight but like extreme rules. Then, if both DX and NWO stormed in and started wrecking up the place, that would be fun, but they would all need to be quite a bit younger for that to work. One of those things that got its implementation a decade too late. If they're too old to perform, don't show them, I agree.

Vince screwed Sting. Insane to bury him with Triple H and then put him in a match with unsafe Seth Rollins. Sting was one of the first guys to protect himself. He worked smart, took breaks and got over by building storylines and having great segments. Vince f'd up that formula.

Sting was suppose to go over Rollins, that was part of the agreement… Triple H got Mania and Sting got the belt but he got injured during the match so they had to change to ending so he didn’t get injured further.

They started their training in California for Powerteam USA. When that went nowhere they were picked up by Jerry Jarrett's CWA as The Freedom Fighters (Jim Justice Hellwig and Steve Flash Borden). They turned heel as The Blade Runners (Rock and Sting) shortly after. Then they went to Bill Watt's Mid-South (what later turned into UWF). They split up and Hellwig went to Fritz Von Erich's WCCW where he renamed himself The Dingo Warrior, while Sting continued on in UWF. Dingo Warrior then went to the WWF where he became The Ultimate Warrior and Sting stayed in UWF when it was then bought out by Jim Crockett's JCP but called NWA. That particular NWA was then sold to Ted Turner where it became known as WCW.

Sting was part of Mid South Wrestling/UWF when it was bought out by the Crocketts. That is how Sting came to WCW. Sting and Warrior actually started in Mid South as the Bladerunners before Warrior left and went to World Class.

GET STING ON YOUR PODCAST MARK !

It sucks that Sting didn't make the jump to WWE a lot earlier, but that's a wrap. it is what it is, and that's on him. I think they both had insanely long peaks for their careers which is impressive given their ages. I agree if it happened around 2009 or 2010 the match would've been better received by the general public. I'm pretty sure a lot of people wanted to see it happen just for the story they could have put on with both their gimmicks even if the match wasn't a 5 star masterpiece. Undertaker/Sting is still my 1 dream match. I think a feud/match with these two in their primes would have been the most entertaining match ever. But I'm so biased cause I love both guys. Don't mind me

Sting and Dingo Warrior!!! Texas wresting in the late 80's!! I'm glad that you remembered thst.

Sting and Taker had some of the best long careers. They stayed good for so long

I've seen sting at 3 different house shows in the late 90s during his crow era

Happy Birthday My Favourite The Undertaker 🎉🎉🎉 I hope you show up at Mania!

Sting and Undertaker are my all time favorites. As much as I would've loved to see that match the only real satisfactory ending to it would have to be a draw with mutual respect and admiration (and probably some form of "supernatural" air to it using rafters, under ring/facility passages etc for each at a couple points during the match).

A face to face in the royal rumble is really all we need. It would be easy for both guys. Its not so much the match people want but the story they could create.

Sting had to change his facepaint with the Crow character in the beginning. James O'barr,creator of the Crow told him..man, this is my character your doing yourself up like. Steve didn't have to do a lot,but he did have to tweak the paint

Sting and Warrior actually got their start tagging in Mid-South Championship Wrestling, as Rock and Flash managed by Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert, not in Dallas' WCCW where Taker got his start. Flash's name actually was changed to Sting shortly thereafter, for whatever reason (D.C. comics copyrights maybe?) Warrior left after about a year stint in the company and bolted for Dallas where he took on the moniker of the Dingo Warrior, around the time that Taker was breaking into the business, in Dallas, as the Punisher.

Sting's career I got to see from his intro into the NWA back in the late 80s. It was phenomenal without having to be a major player in the WWE. Who else can make that claim to fame? Undertaker one of the all time greats as well. I got to see his matches when he started in Texas as Mark Callaway on a Georgia wrestling tv program that aired every Saturday night for about 6 hours going through different promotions. The presenters were Uncle Sammy, a blondes gal and Joe something (an overweight fella). Those were the early good ole tv wrestling days.

So interesting that Taker was kayfabe forever and now doing interviews! I appreciate it but it still feeks a bit odd.

The ultimate dream match: Sting vs the Undertaker in a... thumb wrestling match. Someone PLEASE make this happen.

I would love to see Sting as a guest on this show. I would watch that entire episode

Nice to see the 2001 badass Taker throwback :D

Sting and Undertaker I wouldn't mind being a pre-recorded cinema match. I need something with those two.

It would of been build up to a match that we would remember forever. The most iconic gimmick match i believe we would have seen in our lifetimes.

The one visual from the buildup to the match I always wanted to see, even more than the match itself, is all of Undertaker's druids out there, and then they pull their hoods down and they are all Stings.

I'd love to see Taker in an on screen role similar but different to a manager. Toss a couple chokeslams here and there. Pair him w/ a supernatural performer to give them legitimacy. I just love seeing Mark, doesnt matter how physical he gets.

He did wrestling Sting. When he was in the WCW.😊

And chokeslam he did 💪🙌

Sting vs Taker would have been great in the late 90s. We'll never get to see it unfortunately but those two on a podcast together would be a great consolation.

Hey Mr. Undertaker! Happy early birthday to you. I was just wondering what your experience with your trainer Don Jardine was like? Thank you for your time and talents.

Would have loved a Sting/Taker Tag Team Run more than a straight 1 v 1 storyline

¡Gracias!

The incredible amount of respect Taker has for Sting is evident in how he's speaking of him and his career. It's also refreshing to see how apolitical he is when it comes to companies too. The man respects talent wherever it's found.

Sting started off in Memphis, TN.

If HHH was in charge in 2014, we woulda had Sting V Undertaker at Wrestlemania 31 or Summerslam 2015.

sting with the creation of sting at times he was even bigger than the undertaker so well done for him allways the best sting

All honesty I grew up in Texas so WCW was the thing down south. Then WWF made it down eventually but I loved WCW over WWF for long time until it blew up with stone cold and the rock. HHH. DX! Etc. Definitely best era of wrestling without a doubt.

Mark is spot on. The Taker/Sting match would have been legendary when Sting was in TNA. By the time he got to WWE, they were both on the downhill. They could have drawn, but neither would have been happy with it.

He gives really good interviews, I'm surprised The Undertaker doesn't do acting in movies or TV shows.

According to Sting, Taker didn't sound interested when Sting brought it up in a conversation they had. Of course, if anyone could motivate Taker into doing *something* with Sting, it was Vince, but I think it's apparent why he didn't.

Taker vs. Sting is still my ultimate wrestling dream match, it’s a shame that there were multiple times to do it but Vince wouldn’t pull the trigger

The Undertaker can say whatever he wants and no one can check him

Do a cinematic match with Sting!

Thinking about it now having bray in a new ministry angle then him fighting taker at wrestlemania if to.d well he could have won or lost and still moved up kind of how Austin still moved up after losing to Bret Hart, my opinion at least.

1997 Sting vs 1998 Taker would have been freaking phenomenal!!

I wish WWE would release Mark's and Sting's match against each other on the Network which was never televised in WCW when Mark was Mean Mark which Mark could mention about it.

It would be off the charts awesome if Taker and Sting did a WrestleMania match. Not even announced, no press release, kept under wraps so tight nobody knows. They just show up out of the blue and put on a match

Can you imagine the build up to sting vs taker how many months that could have simmered for. I’m shocked Vince didn’t see the dollar signs and make a win each then a draw or something or even have taker go over

Are we going to forget Sting didn’t go to the WWE because a comment the rock made? If sting wanted the match he wouldn’t have been in TNA with Jeff Hardy high in the ring
