Reported by Ernest I Aguilar Zevallos

his past Thursday, former WCW and TNA champion Sting appeared on 97.9/105.5 KISS-FM's show Big Poppa In The Morning to promote TNA and talked about almost joining WWE last year.

Talking about any regrets about never joining WWE during his long and illustrious career, Sting said that he's not going to lie about it and that he would have loved to be in at least one WrestleMania. "I wish I had done one of those. I've had great conversations with him (referring to Vince McMahon) over the years and been real close on three or four different occasions," Sting said.

Sting added that there's one man he'd love to wrestle but didn't get the opportunity to do so yet and that man is the Undertaker. Last year the big rumor was that Sting would be wrestling the Undertaker at WrestleMania and the resemblance of the vignettes with the trench coat that aired on RAW for weeks fueled that speculation however the vignettes ended up being switched to a return of the Undertaker himself.

But the rumors were not far off as when he was asked when was the last time he nearly joined Vince McMahon's company, Sting said it was last year.

"Last year. It was very, very close."
