Legendary wrestler Sting reveals his dream WWE opponent

Sting recently gave an interview where he revealed some interesting things. Here are a few excerpts:

When asked why does he think people had more of love for wrestlers like Hulk Hogan or himself, as compared to the modern day wrestlers like John Cena, he replied: “The only thing I can think of is, you know, back when I started there wasn’t 1000 channels on TV. Reality show after reality show. Pay per views, movies. You can get anything you want on TV now. Whereas before, when I started, there wasn’t quite that many stations. Not a whole lot to choose from. So, that’s part of it and we’re the last of a generation of that style. It’s kind of like the old school, more the character of the guy, of the wrestler. I think that’s kind of disappeared too in our sport now.”

Then he was followed up with the question of his thoughts on never able to compete for the World Heavyweight Title again: “You know, I’ve been there and had the World Title on many different occasions with WCW and with TNA. It’s not so much about the World Title anymore for me anyway. Although, when that was first introduced, it was something to seriously think about because what does this mean? Is this the first step towards retirement? The next step would be putting out to pasture now.”

When asked is there anyone he hasn’t wrestled that he wishes he did, he revealed: “I know you want me to take the bait here. Over the years, I’ve talked about wrestling ‘Taker. That’s no secret. You mention the name Shawn Michaels, I never did wrestle him. I did wrestle Taker when he was Mean Mark and that was early 90s I think. That’s probably it.”

On his favorite match of his of all time, he said: “That’s a hard one to say, the top one of all time, because really there’s like a top three for me. The first one would have been Clash of Champions. It was live on TBS. 45 minutes, commercial free against Ric Flair for the World Title. That match literally put me on the map. In 1990, I won the title from Ric Flair for the first time at the Great American Bash in Baltimore Maryland. That one. And then of course, Hulk Hogan at Starrcade in 97. That was huge because we broke character and it was a culmination of everything.”
