If you have been reading about wrestling on the internet for the past decade or more then you know that there have been all kinds of rumors about Sting going to WWE. When WCW folded in 2001, the expectation was that Sting would get there eventually. It didn't happen, though. Here's Sting talking about the discussions with comments from last year: "Over the last few years those rumors have gotten stronger. I do an annual contract every year and the rumors start right around January. The year that they did the (black and white) vignette, I had nothing to do with it and I had no conversations with the WWE at that time. Shortly afterward there were conversations (with WWE) just by happenstance but nothing official." Vince McMahon wants people to think his company is the greatest wrestling organization in the world (in many ways it is), but if they were then why were they unable to get Sting? It was Sting's call more than anybody else. It's unlikely that WWE wants you to know that Sting said no to them for over a decade.
