Did Sting recently negotiate with WWE?

Partial Source: The Pro Wrestling Torch

Multiple TNA sources indicate there were no real discussions between Steve “Sting” Borden and WWE. Any talk of Sting being tied to the ’2-21-11′ vignettes were false, although some within TNA insist company president Dixie Carter was convinced that was case until ‘Taker’s face was shown. Others within the company say Sting and Dixie had been in talks for weeks negotiating a new contract and Dixie knew that Sting wasn’t the type of guy who would “screw her over and jump ship to WWE”.

People within TNA were predicting that Sting wouldn’t join WWE due to the comfort level he has with the Nashville based organization and wrestlers he counts on to carry him in the ring. There is also some heat between Sting and Vince McMahon from years ago. WWE has sent ‘feelers’ Sting’s way numerous times throughout the years and he has always turned them down. There is also no way that Sting would work a full-time WWE schedule including house shows as he’s considered a “family man” these days. He is willing to work the TNA schedule as it allows him to spend time at home with his wife and kids.

TNA Impact - 3/3/11 + Sting WWE

*Spoilers!* Here is a video from the end of TNA iMPACT! this week. This is an obvious shot at WWE basically telling them – “F- off, we’ve re-signed Sting”. WWE has contacted Sting several times over the last few years but he always turns them down due to his family and the WWE schedule. Sting has also never been a big fan of Vince McMahon due to some heat from years ago.

Triple H has contemplated retiring in the near future, noting he’s 41 years old, has suffered a series of serious muscle tears, and is considered the heir apparent to Vince McMahon’s throne atop World Wrestling Entertainment.

Sting/WWE rumors, Punk's broken nose, & more!

- John Cena and Randy Orton defeated CM Punk and The Miz following RAW in a dark match.

- CM Punk suffered a legit broken nose on RAW.

- There are still a ton of people believing that Sting is coming to WWE on 2/21/11. Here’s the deal guys – there have been absolutely zero talks between WWE and Sting. It’s that simple. Could things change? Of course but as of this writing there have been absolutely no talks. The Sting rumors started several weeks ago with a New York Daily News post stating he had signed a one-year deal with the company. I’m pretty sure that if that report never came out and we never posted it here, we wouldn’t be talking about Sting to WWE at all right now. Nonetheless, there are MANY fans who continue to believe that Sting is coming to WWE. That is simply not the case right now. Sorry to disappoint you guys. Trust me, I’d love to see it as much as any of you.
