- There was talk of trying to get Sting into the Ric Flair retirement ceremony but nothing came of it. Obviously if something would have been worked out, he wouldn't have shown up on WWE television. Most of the guys who appeared on the RAW special were called within the last week before the show. Vince McMahon made exception on a few things including JJ Dillon, who usually Vince would not have allowed to appear on WWE TV. WWE officials told Flair to go out to the ring, say goodbye and make sure to keep it short and sweet. Flair knew ahead of time that they were planning something, but had no idea that it would turn out as big as it did.

WOW!


That would have been HUGE had that happened.

That would have been awesome. The only thing that would have sucked is he wouldn't have been on tv.

I know Sting has talked alot of s**t about the WWE for years, but I would think that if Vince wants his Hall Of Fame to be the benchmark of Hall of Fames for wrestling, that one day he'll have to make the gracious, honorable move of inducting Sting into the WWE Hall of Fame, despite the fact Sting has never wrestled for the WWF/E.

Well he was in WCW and Vince owns WCW so if anyone questions why Sting would be inducted they could just say that. Plus Sting deserves to be in many wrestling HOF. I agree though that Vince wants his HOF to be the Granddaddy of them all.

Man if Sting was aloud to be on tv, imagine the reaction he would being lowered from the rafters like back in the WCW days. That would've been hot.

Not on the WWE's turf. They're NEVER doing that stuff again after Owen.

But if they did do it and it worked out, would that not be a wicked moment?

Yeah it would.
