As big as WrestleMania is, one discussion that's gotten almost as much buzz in the wrestling world as of late is the (rumored) impending WWE debut of Sting. The biggest star of the modern era to never work for Vince McMahon, Sting has finally left TNA and is unencumbered by contractual obligations. While it's too late for him to show up at WrestleMania XXX, he seems like a lock for next year's event in Santa Clara, and there's no better time to debut him and start promoting it than on Raw next Monday. How can The Man Called Sting be introduced to a WWE audience, though? The smartest solution would be not to pretend that the WWE Universe doesn't know who he is sure, WCW closed a long time ago and TNA has reached the same number of fans, but Sting's exploits have lived on in memories and on DVDs and the internet. A simple shot of him in rafters, gesturing with a baseball bat, would be enough to send any arena into a frenzy especially the night after WrestleMania. According to rumors (and much to the delight of millions of fans), Sting is only interested in a match with one man: The Undertaker. If that's true, you can put it in the books for WrestleMania XXXI and safety say that the Deadman will be the one at whom Sting points his black bat. Still, whomever Sting singles out if anybody the sight of him on Monday Night Raw would be downright historic. Yet again, WWE will have delivered a shocker the night after WrestleMania.
