Highlights

  • The Undertaker playfully claims he would have easily defeated Sting in a dream match, using his signature Tombstone move.
  • Both The Undertaker and Sting were loyal to their respective wrestling promotions and played significant roles in their success.
  • Although fans wanted to see the two legends face off, circumstances never allowed it, and Sting's legacy in WWE was seen as a disappointment. The Undertaker wishes Sting well in his final match and respects him as an icon of the industry.

Wrestling fans around the world that are old enough to have witnessed both wrestlers in their prime have often wanted to know who would win in a dream match between The Undertaker and Sting. The Undertaker was recently asked that question and had a fascinating, but lighthearted response.

In a recent interview with Bill Apter on SportsKeeda WrestleBinge, the legendary wrestler known during his heyday as The Deadman had fun with a question speculating on what could have been in the ultimate dream match against fellow icon Sting. Considering one is retired and the other is on his way to retiring, when asked about a potential match and who would have won it, The Undertaker, with a playful smirk, quipped, "I'd have killed him. Oh man, come on. He'd have got a Tombstone, brother. He's going out, I'd have planted him."

During their primes, each was arguably the face of their respective promotions. The Undertaker's loyalty to WWE, where he debuted in 1990 and stayed for over three decades made him one of the greatest performers in the company's history. Meanwhile, Sting stayed loyal to WCW until that promotion closed its doors. He was largely responsible for the success of the brand during the Monday Night Wars. He made the jump to WWE way too late for it to really mean anything, in part, because Vince McMahon often booked his wrestlers to triumph over their WCW counterparts.

In the end, the circumstances never aligned for the two legends to wrestle one another. In a match that fans still suggest was a total waste of Sting's legacy, he debuted for WWE in 2015 and his first run concluded with a loss to Triple H at WrestleMania 31. Subsequently, a neck injury in 2015 halted Sting's WWE in-ring career.
