For fans of professional wrestling, perhaps the most elusive holy grail is a match between WCW icon Sting (Steve Borden) and WWE legend The Undertaker (Mark Calaway). However, while this may seem like more of a pipe dream than ever at this juncture, the former isn't ruling it out just yet, so long as the bout takes place on the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Sting, who retired in 2016, reflected on his decades-spanning in-ring career, including his dream match with the Phenom.


"If there was a ’Taker situation at WrestleMania, I would listen to that phone call," Sting said. "I could get in condition and I could pull it off."

Sting, one of several prolific WCW talents who didn't make the jump to WWE when Vince McMahon purchased the rival company, would finally make his WWE debut in 2014 at Survivor Series to help dismantle the Triple H-led Authority. However, his return was short-lived as a botched Buckle Bomb (a Powerbomb into the turnbuckle) by Seth Rollins in 2015 resulted in a severe neck injury.

"I think my career is done," Sting continued. "I still think about the ‘Taker situation every year, but I don’t think it’s going to happen."

This will always be one of those Dream Matches where the stars just never quite aligned. Austin vs Goldberg is another.

Austin goldberg was more hyped growing up for my friends and i than taker sting

Thing is that the matches just dont work once u know how the business is

As kids we were arguing who is better and would win etc

Now we really know its all about who has the book or if someone requests to do the job

Austin wouldnt lay down for goldberg and taker wouldnt do the job for sting at wrestlemania. Vince has the books. the math is easy.

Either taker goes over or its a draw

No doubt. I mean they had Sting job to Triple H, Hogan had to job to Rock. Goldberg and Sting would've definitely lost those matches. That's the most ridiculous part of WWE, it's like if the Clippers would have Kawhi coming off the bench just cause he played for the Raptors last year.
