I guess I'm just tired of WWE pushing washed-up TNA talent over their homegrown superstars. LOL. Just when I was thinking there were no cries of "WWE signs ANOTHER cast-off from another organisation", someone has the balls to come out & say it. Guess it's just the board's ol' TNA/WWE double standard showing up again.

Especially since most of those people whine about Sting being in the spotlight, and that he's washed up and so forth. BUT HE MIGHT GO TO WWE! I guess he's magically not washed up anymore.

It's not a double standard. It's more just anger at the fact that TNA is blowing their talent for guys, some mind you, that aren't worth it.
It's the same sort of argument for when Batista or Cena goes over far better talents.

I don't want to see the Flair/Sting match for a couple of reasons: One, it would probably be the worst match between the two they ever had, and not stand up well against the classic matches they've had. Two, I don't think Ric Flair's retiring anytime soon. He won't make the kind of money he needs as a manager or behind the scenes, so he's going to keep wrestling as long as he's physically capable of moving. There is no way it would be worst then the last Nitro match were Flair was out of shape. And hardly was given time. They could still deliver a much better match now then back then. Flair as been able to pull off great matches in recent years where that count. Sting being in good shape and proven that he can go. It should be fine. Then again the only reason why I wouldn't want Sting in the WWE because how other former WCW loyalist where treated and that the WWE would kill his repuation. Sure we all love a Sting DVD or a Classic figure of him. But to also have the man be the one major star from the stats the WWE never had is also kind of cool. It's amazing how people get on Sting for not "Putting over" anybody. The man forfill all his dates. He doesn't need to wrestle. So what if Sting never lost to Kaz or someone. Why can you jsut be happy with what he gave you. At less Sting gave us one last run like a ton of fans wanted before his signed with TNA. If it's over it's over.

if that's true TNA is truly the dumbest place in wrestling today.
"HEY LET'S NOT MENTION STING ANYMORE BECAUSE WE'RE AFRAID THAT'LL MAKE HIM OVER AND THEN HE'LL GO TO WWE!"
guess what, sting's been over for about 10 years. just don't put a belt on him and you're fine.

What would Vince do to Sting's character? I'd hate to see it trashed with a typically stupid WWE gimmick.
However, if they leave him alone, it might work. This probably would be the last chance to play on the WCW/NWA vs. WWE/WWF angle, which they've handled miserably from the day WCW died.
They could bring in Sting, with Flair at his side, to vindicate WCW/NWA by feuding with Shawn Micheals and/or Undertaker. If they could build it carefully so that Sting comes across looking strong as a sort of noble warrior in those feuds, then Vince could somehow force him into the retirement match with Flair. Perhaps he could be guaranteed a world title shot if he beats Flair? That way, he's forced into a conflict of his "principles"
