This is one of a handful of matches on this list that still gets mentioned as a possibility. Despite getting his start in WCW and other small promotions, Undertaker is widely regarded as being a WWF creation through and through. To many, he is WWF, the only main-eventer who stayed with the company through the entire Monday Night Wars. Similarly, Sting is viewed as the heart and soul of WCW, standing firm even while mainstays like Ric Flair and Lex Luger tried their hand in WWF. After Stings transformation to the Crow-era character, the desire to see a match between he and Taker took off. Both were kind of dark and brooding characters, and both were the conscience of their respective promotions. Such a match would have done great business. The promos and setup alone with Undertaker bringing a coffin to the ring and Sting rappelling down from the rafters would have sent fans into a frenzy. Currently, fans are salivating at the prospect of a Taker-Sting match now that Sting has signed some sort of deal with WWE. Nevermind that Sting is 55 years old, while Undertaker will be 50 by next years WrestleMania assuming hes capable of performing. The aura surrounding such a match has only magnified in the 13 years since WCW folded.
