I can't see Flair vs. Sting happening. But, Flair facing Steamboat seems likely to me. If they were to do that, it shouldn't be a long match. I know smarks would love it, but the casual fan who may have never seen their matches would be bored out of their minds. |

It'd kind of ruin one of the major facets about Sting: He's the only major American wrestler in the last 20 years who didn't wrestle in WWE at least at point. But, it'd definitely have a "big match" feel.

I would love for it to happen as the last match before retirement for either or both of them but Sting has said too many times he will never go to WWE and I don't think he would change his mind no matter how much money Vince offered him.

I heard he was in talks with Vince in 2002 to come in, but the schedule wasn't to his liking as he would be away from his family a lot. |

I vaguely remmeber hearing that at the time and I also remmeber hearing that he feels the way WWE storylines work would make him uncomfortable because of his religious beliefs and that's why he has always said no. |

I don't know. It may me better than we think. Sting's TNA contract is up at the end of the year and he hasn't re-signed yet/wants to retire. If the rumors of this being Flair's last year are true, I could see them wanting to pull out all the stops for him. Also given that 'Mania wasn't an instant sellout like WWE likes, I could see them trying something big like this.
I don't see it happening but, I wouldn't say there is no chance either.

Id book Sting for the one match vs Flair. A one show deal, $50,000.

Yeah, like a couple of people have already said, Sting's main selling point to me at this point is the fact that he has never worked for WWE. After WCW folded and those days of sticking to a promotion through and through are basically long-gone, Sting has always been awesome because of the fact that he's the rarity.
I can't even think of another major American wrestler in the last twenty years who I've never seen on WWE TV. All I am coming up with is small potatoes like New Jack or Scott Norton. Can anyone think of another?

I would be to be honest disappointed if I saw Sting at Wrestlemania in a WWE ring. Sure it would be only one match but the perception by many would be that Sting needed an appearance in a major WWE event to solidify his career. Sting may never have reached Hogan status obviously but the man is a modern legend. Almost every superstar veteran in the WWE today has been beat by Sting and I would be saddened if Sting were to stick around in the WWE only to job to guys like the Undertaker, HHH, etc.

Stings pretty over rated in my book, his matches aren't that fantastic.
I did love his whole standing at the top of the arena scaffolding gimmick for a while though.

If I remember correctly, he came out dissing the legends and then they all did their finishers on him (Ones I remember were Snuka leaping off the turnbuckle, Dusty's punch combo, and Kevin's claw.) |

Kevin did actually wrestle a few matches for the WWE in the early 80s at MSG. |
