So, let's just assume that Cena's comments about Undertaker were to plant the seeds for a match between the two. It's been widely rumored that they want to get at least one match out of the Stinger, and with Taker occupied and HHH not missing a WM match since 23, this seems incredibly likely to me.
And honestly (possible controversial statement ahead), this sounds a lot better to me than the "dream" match between Sting and the Phenom, for 3 reasons.
1. HHH is in much better shape than Taker, judging by this years Mania. If Sting isn't quite in shape, you at least have someone carrying the workload. They could even be workout buddies or something.
2. Trips, say what you will about him, would do the right thing and put Sting over, something I'd be skeptical about with Taker.
3. It could bring an end to the whole authority storyline, even if you have to somewhat replicate Sting vs. Hogan (but better booked) to do it. Maybe HHH shakes Stings hand after the match, leading to an argument between him and Steph and his eventual face turn.
I'm actually...really excited about this idea, and I'm not even that big of a fan of either guy. Thoughts?

I think this could work as a way to phase out HHH and the Authority, replacing them with Sting as a new commissioner character who shows up erstwhile.

While it would be good it wouldn't draw the same people to WM that Taker vs Sting would draw, f*** it Taker vs Sting could sell more than a million buys and be the only match in the card.
Sting should go full Nick Diaz mode and start calling out the Undertaker. "I don't think he's hurt, I think he's scared. Where you at taker? Where you at motherf***er? Don't be scared homie." Meanwhile in Texas, Taker starts taping his fists.

Plausible, but honestly I would prefer Austin vs Sting.

Maybe this could be a WWE vs. WCW themed match.
HHH, the authority of WWE vs. Sting, the last guy from WCW.

I think Triple H is the only guy who could have a good match with tired old Sting.

I'd rather see Jericho vs HHH for control of the company. They've hinted of a feud between the two.

Obviously, Triple H could design a perfect match using Sting's positives and hiding his negatives. I think Trips is gonna be the plan b if Taker doesn't agree to the match.

I don't see any way in hell that would happen.
Honestly, it'd be a decent draw, but I don't think it'd be that huge in 2014.

I disagree man, it could be one of those sportscenter moments, like maybe fans who stop watching but still remember Sting would buy it. Also in the southern part Sting was idolized, maybe they could try to reach the WCW fans who stopped watching. I think that VKM is the best promoter of all time, like he can sell anything, I think they could pulled it off, not being the only match I was joking, but like being the main attraction.
