    Cheers. Hoping someone can provide contrary evidence, because if not, it's a blow to his credibility. Reporting things as fact before they're fact is carny dirtsheet stuff.

    Meltzer never actually reported that in fairness.

    I wouldn't have said so, he's always going to get some things wrong and he corrected it once he realised it was wrong.

    PWInsider:
    In regard to rumors and reports that Sting has signed with WWE, we are told that the deal has been done in principle for some time (I mentioned that some WWE sources were claiming the deal was done on my 3/18 Hot News Hotline in the Elite section) and it's just a matter of the final contract being signed.

    All this can change, but those I spoke to did not believe he would be wrestling on a regular basis.

    Imagine if they put the Devitt contract in the Sting envelope and the Sting contract in the Devitt envelope. "Prince Devitt signs WWE Legends deal" :P

    Devitt can keep painting his face and be Prince Stinger.

    One of the biggest stars of the WCW has signed a deal with the WWE. Sting (real name Steve Borden) has put pen to paper with Vince McMahon and the company which bought-out the WCW back in 2001 - leading to speculation about what his role will be.


    MTV wouldn't lie surely :p

    He has finally been removed from the TNA roster page. Despite how he was written out, he was still listed until fairly recently. Pretty sure he was still there last weekend.

    Yep, Meltz just said he was told that Punk was booked for RAW, which is true. He relayed what he's been told. I'd trust his word over every other reporter, which is why I'm concerned about him jumping the gun. Maybe Meltzer should start every sentence with "I've been told that..." or have some kind of South-Park style disclaimer before every show :)

    In fairness it looks like the contract has been agreed, he just hasn't physically sent back the contract; a technicality more than anything.

    He appeared on WWE Programming for the first time last night on a tribute show for the Ultimate Warrior.

    Personally I wouldn't say that's confirmed he's signing as a tribute show for his old buddy could be a one-off thing.

    Wasn't pleased with how Vince treated WCW circa the inVasion (and he was right). He specifically mentioned the moment Booker met Rock, said his name, and Rock said "who?". He also didn't want to work for the guy who put almost every other promoter in America out of business to build his empire.

    I don't think it's a coincidence Savage did the All-Stars thing, Sammartino and Warrior got into the HoF under what is really Triple H's (and not Vince's) watch.

    Booker T went on to become a great fit in WWF/E, though and was very successful. Rock was burying everyone around that time, just cause he was so damn funny at it. He did the same thing to Chris Jericho, on Jericho's debut no less and Chris Jericho went on to be huge also. If Sting had signed up then, if he was good, he would have gotten over with the fans, had some great programmes, and maintained his visibility with more casual fans. Now, if he comes in, it won't just be the likes of The Rock, or Cena, or whoever, saying 'who', it'll be a huge amount of fans, too.

    There would probably be a poor wrestling match.

    I know very little about WCW, where/what PPVS should I start with if I want to know more about Sting, or get his best moments?

    Both.

    Heel Sting is awful while Undertaker just wouldnt get booed. It would be a massive waste to use one of the very few natural babyfaces as a heel.

    I often forget Sting was a heel in WCW for a cup of coffee. Goldberg too.
