Sting Wanted To Face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 32 Before His Neck Issues

The recent rumors about Sting’s retirement have been back and forth because of his recent neck issues.

With him going into the WWE Hall of Fame in less than two weeks, WWE thought it was a good time to address his injury status and give a preview of his induction into the Hall of Fame.

Sting recently did an interview with WWE.com about all those issues above and more. He even addressed the highly anticipated match possibility of himself vs. The Undertaker.

You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights:

Have you been diagnosed with spinal stenosis?

“I am not saying that is inaccurate. I’m agreeing there probably is spinal stenosis or cervical spinal stenosis. I have had certain doctors tell me, “You know, so many athletes of all ages, they’ve got this. They deal with it to some degree or another.” I had one doctor here tell me, “You’re fine, you’re okay — you don’t have anything to worry about.” And then wrestlers say, “I’d see this doctor.” “No, I’d see this one over there.” I’m telling you; it’s just craziness. So I’m thinking, as long as I’m feeling good, why am I going to do anything? And the one thing everyone has said is don’t go under the knife unless you absolutely have to.”

Did you think we would have you seen performing at WrestleMania this year? 

“Oh no, it’s an easy one to answer: Yes. If I had my way, yes, of course. I would have loved to have done one more WrestleMania, and I would have called it quits at that point. The Undertaker match — that’s what I wanted to do.”

Are you still interested in Sting vs. Undertaker or is it too late for that match?
