As happens every year, Sting's one year contract will soon be coming up for renewal. With Sting another year older, and with TNA making major cost cutting measures, will Sting stick with TNA, or maybe more shocking, will TNA stick with Sting?
I can't help feel he can't want to hang around much more. He's the oldest active wrestler in both WWE and TNA, and he's given all he can. Is it time for TNA to let Sting go? Or, will they try and keep him for another year, trying to maximize on his name value?
For me, I'm torn. On one side, I'd love for Sting to leave and have the match with Undertaker most want to sse. Yeah, it won't be the same as it was 10 years ago, and yes the feud will be more tame than what we would have gotten before, but we all know how well respected these two legends are, and Hulk Hogan proved at WrestleManiaX8, you don't need to be in peak condition to rock a crowd. The mere presence of these two facing each other would send the WrestleMania 30 crowd into a frenzy. And is there any more Sting can do for TNA? It would seem his star has shone as bright as it can. Let him have that one final match, get him in the Hall of Fame, and let him enjoy his retirement.
On the other side, TNA need the name value Sting brings. If promoted and used the right way, Sting can still bring in the viewers and put talent over. I am certain he'll put Magnus over come Bound for Glory, and with well respected veterans scarce, he'll be needed to put over other young stars.. He's the biggest name TNA have now that Hogan is gone, and i can't help feel TNA need him to keep them above water.
Thoughts?
