WWE: 10 Steps To Booking Sting vs The Undertaker At WrestleMania 31

3. Face-To-Face Once Again - February/March 2015

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xjzii6jtIc Substitute 30 for 31 in that video, obviously. Props to who CM EditWrestling on YouTube for that one. You'll need only one face-to-face promo between these two and it should be relatively brief. Both are men of few words and should get their point over as succinctly as possible. The key points, as with any good feud, will be to make abundantly clear WHY both men need to win this match. If you read my previous article on this year's 'Taker vs Lesnar feud, you'll know one of the points I raised was for Undertaker to clarify WHY he picked this fight. I figured that would happen when 'Taker came out for that segment with Paul Heyman last week on Raw and whilst Heyman did an excellent job of putting over the Streak, Undertaker's comments were brief, vague and did little to put over why HE picked this fight and, as such, left me a little disappointed. For Lesnar, he wants to win to make history and break the legendary streak, that's easy. However, nobody is forcing 'Taker into this match, so why is he taking it? Hopefully they'll delve into this in the time left between now and April 6th and not repeat the issue next year. Even if it's something as simple as Undertaker needing to make sure Sting's run of attacks stops, that's fine. Just give him a reason. The other thing they should get over is why Sting will win where others have failed, even though he won't. Sting claiming that he'll do more in his one and only match in WWE than others have done in years works well. It should be clear this match will be Sting's debut match. Another angle could be for Sting to claim he's the only one with the darkness to match 'Taker's. All this stuff will be good. By this point, people will want to see the match regardless.
