To a lot of people it’s still a dream match/guilty pleasure thing. I don’t remember anyone ever clamouring for Goldberg vs. Undertaker.Vince: How do we top (the clusterf*€@ that was ) undertaker vs. Goldberg?
Dunn (probably): umm we can’t use Goldberg he’s not a good wrestler
Vince: you know who’s a great wrestler Sting; by god let’s do it
Fans: we don’t want to see a 60 year old sting vs a 54 year old taker
Vince: taker vs. Sting my gawd.....
Also I wonder how much the saudis are paying to see this match. It’s going to be a really bad match and I legit feel someone might get injured really badly

Sting and Taker work styles even in their primes that would protect them anyways. I wouldn’t expect anything catastrophic injury wise. It’ll be a garbage match if it’s anything more than a 5-minute spectacle.
Ironically enough, a 5-minute spectacle between those two would probably fare better in North America with a white hot crowd.
No matter what we think on the internet, most people still get up for Taker’s entrance. I’ve never experienced it live and it’s still something I would love to experience.5 minute spectacle?
Taker's entrance would be longer than the match.
Probably for the best, anyway.

His wrestling sucks now and he can hardly move, which is why I think a 5-minute spectacle with Sting in front of a white hot North American crowd would actually do relatively well. The crowd noise would make up for the lack of action, and all they’d have to do is exchange strikes and get in their signature spots before the finish.
What signature spots?
I can only hope Taker's smart enough to avoid attempting the "old school" trick he used to do.
Also not sure if Sting is going to trust Taker enough to tombstone him safely and without breaking his neck.
They're not trying to do Undertaker vs. Sting, it's just a bunch of A/V interns keeping themselves busy
I sure as hell hope so but this is Vince we’re talking about
“I feel normal. But the doctor says my neck is messed up, bad! So (if I take) one more bad fall, and maybe [gestures a baseball swing] done! Neck down nothing (will function) or (I may) die.” - StingSting has to be cleared and he was told he won't be cleared and has never tried to get cleared. The neck injury he had in the match vs. Seth was very serious. He's also 60. He's done.

Why does Sting keep saying he can be cleared / has one last match in him but is saving it for Taker? Lol
From the Observer:
WWE is advertising Undertaker vs. McIntyre for SummerSlam on 8/11 in the Toronto market. We’re told that is typical local market advertising and that is not the actual plan right now for the show. But in pushing Undertaker so hard, that would seem to indicate he’ll be featured on the show, which makes sense. If Undertaker was only working one summer event, it would be SummerSlam, so him coming back for Extreme Rules only made sense to set the table for a big SummerSlam match. The problem is that given the Extreme Rules match, the big match being built would seem to be against either McIntyre or Shane, unless somebody new (Wyatt?) gets involved in the Extreme Rules match
There is a less-than-zero chance that Vince even remembers Wrestlemania 31
The company is so stupid. They need Bray soon... Firefly Fun House had so much momentum.
I’m hoping he shows up tonight and kills people. I’ve also been hoping he shows up for the last 9 months.
