I don't know though. He might be busy.
...orrr.....did you-Wait...You meant the other one, didn't you?

I love Sting as much as the next guy, even from his early 90's days he was one of my favourites but I gotta say, I think it would be a joke to have him in the WWE HOF, only for the reason he has never contributed to a WWE product. Before people jump on me, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be in, just think the WWE HOF is the wrong one to be in for him since he has no connection.
On a sidenote, personally speaking I don't like the WWE HOF as it celebrities in it such as Bob Uecker, William Perry and Pete Rose.

^That made you laugh out loud? ...Psycho. 
The WWE Hall of Fame is, in ways, much like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are some people in there who really have little to no business being in there, and there are others who are long overdue to be in there but have been repeatedly ignored.
Neither HoF should be taken too seriously or considered all that prestigious or important. It's the same as any award ceremony.

Wow!!! It's NWO Hollywood vs. NWO Wolfpac.......Oh it's Nexus.
^ Yes it sure is.
I gave up watching halfway though this last Smackdown(!).
It's spelled with a "!", but it should be a "...?".

sting in the hof is a given everybody knows that wwe owns wcw rights so this would make a great move for them as they can make a box set of sting and sell it under the wwe brand and make money for vince.. cause vince loves the money more than anything else...
It would be nice to have an official wrestling Hall of Fame where any wrestler can get in. Using a baseball analogy,the WWE's HoF is like the Cincinnati Reds' HoF where only Reds players are in it. There needs to be one like Cooperstown where all baseball players no matter the team can be recognized.
Sting is so right about all he said.
I remember that moment he spoke of and that it pissed me off instantly. I remember seeing Booker T. make his way to the ring and kick ass and I thought it was awesome. Hell yeah!
But then he has that face-to-face with The Rock who said something like "Who in the blue hell are you?".
Sting's right. That was all it took to send Booker's career into a downward clown spiral, pretty much discarding everything he did for WCW. Remember, he was one of the top guys in that company, and overnight, he was made to appear as a peon, along with the rest of those guys.
McMahon saw all of his newly acquired WCW talent as just something he could set up so his already top guys (like Rock, Austin, HHH, etc.) could knock them down. He did the same with the ECW guys. WWE is the succubus of sports entertainment.
It's so easy to direct the crowd to feel and react a certain way that it's often sickening. To show them "Here. You're supposed to hate this guy", and 99.999% of the time it works. He set up WCW as 'the bad guys', and 'Yayy WWE guys'.
Some people may disagree, but Sting may have been the smartest one out of all the WCW talent, to see through it all.
Eh... Booker T isn't Sting, though. Judging how he'd be treated by what they with Booker and DDP is kinda pointless because those guys weren't synonymous with WCW like Sting was. And honestly, Rock's whole character was that he was an egotistical, disrespectful jackass in the first place, so his treatment of Booker wasn't any different from how he treated others he encountered for the first time(hell, he did to guys he'd already met before, to boot).
Also, why shouldn't the WCW/ECW guys be the heels in the Invasion? WWF fans weren't going to boo the WWF guys for the most part, so why should they've been the heels?

What??? Are you fucking kidding me?? Vince would have wanted to make a huge statement by making the ultimate example out of Sting. Because he was the top name in that company.
Also, yes Booker and yes even DDP were synonymous with WCW. People may forget that now because of their time afterwards with WWE.
And yes Rock is that character, but my point is that there is a loose script, so Vince wanted it to go down a certain way so things would go the direction he wants. The Rock was the perfect one to do it so that's who he used. He knew that the Rock could easily persuade the audience by simply doing what he does.
It was insulting to the fans and talent to 'black and white' the situation by having all of one side (WCW/WWF) as heels/face. There are other ways they could have done it. The whole "Invasion" angle was fucking stupid.

The "Invasion" angle could have worked if it was booked right. Vince wasn't going to let any WCW boys get over at the expense of his boys. Vince always has been and always will be too short sighted to look long term.
Out of a guy that he'd probably made a shitload of money out of just via marketing "Best Of..." DVDs and Sting masks alone? Hell, here's an even better question: If Vince was so vengeful(and I'm not saying he isn't. Dude really does carry a grudge, but he has shown to be able to put it aside to make money), why didn't he do the same to Rey when he debuted? Rey represented a part of WCW that Vince had tried to mimic for years with no success at all and yet he came in not only with a lot of promotional hype, but has gone on to be one of the biggest faces on the roster.
Oh bullshit. DDP was three years past being relevant in any sort of way and Booker T became WCW World Heavyweight Champion at a time when WCW was pulling close to TNA-level ratings. Those two weren't "WCW" and don't sit there and try to pretend they were.
It went down that way because the fans booed the living shit out of Booker and Bagwell when they first experimented with integrating WCW into WWF programming. It's not insulting to the fans when they made the fucking choice to begin with. And to boot, Vince hadn't locked up any of the big name WCW guys when he hotshoted the Invasion storyline due to Austin's runs against Taker/Jericho/Benoit not doing as well as he liked. As it was, the only talent he'd managed to get were perennial midcarders and jobbers since their contracts were already included with the purchase of WCW.
What "other ways" could they've done it outside of not rushing the storyline? How's WCW or ECW going to work as faces in this whole thing when they're already getting booed out of buildings even when not being presented as heels?
get some proper fighters in there, ex Boxer's i am suggesting or are they too scared that someone might actually get hurt ?
Anyone over the age of ten who watches American wrestling needs to be sterilised.
I can never understand how they can use the term world champion when the wrestlers are hand picked and generally come from and fight in only one country. American champion maybe.

Well, it's not ultimate fighting, and, well, it's a scripted show (albeit sloppy).
Yes, they are too afraid of their people being too injured to perform. That's all it is, aside that they are much more aimed at the child/pre-teen audience nowadays. Don't expect anything too hardcore to happen here. I wish it would...but it won't.
Anyway...everything's bullshit, isn't it?
Everyone sees these things so differently, from different angles - and everyone is so damn certain that they are the right ones, and that their opinions are fact, and because of this, it really does become dead-end debate.

This. Don't get me wrong, he is without a doubt one of the more skilled guys in WWE today. He's great on the mic and he has great in-ring skills (that he doesn't get to show off). But, neither of them are good enough for him to be shoved down our throats like he is.
