Vince McMahon was against the idea of The Undertaker having a match with Sting in WWE

During his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker commented on why a “dream match” against Sting never happened in WWE and revealed that Vince McMahon was against the idea…

“It just didn’t work out. He had a short run in WWE and Vince didn’t want it. For whatever reason, I don’t know what it was. He didn’t feel it. Everybody else was clamoring for this match for quite a few years. A year or two into that character change, I mean, people were already sending me artwork with the billboard or the poster. It just never worked out. The match would have been good, but I don’t think it would have lived up to the expectations that people have for it. People always think about things in a certain sense. I think they thought in their mind of Undertaker, 2007 or 2008 versus Sting. It was later on than that. I can say I was way on the backside of what I was going to do when he got there.”

Undertaker also commented on WWE acknowledging Sting’s retirement match that took place at AEW Revolution…

“I mean, yeah, we’re in competition with a different company. I get it, but Sting’s legacy is so much bigger than AEW or any of that. I mean, he deserved that. I’m happy that as a company that they acknowledged it because it’s only right.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
