Last I read, and I don't follow TNA news much, Sting was signed to a legal contract with TNA. And from the WWE grapevine, he has no intentions of returning to the WWE anytime soon.Asian Knight said:

Monday Night Raw's preview, #1 Contender Tournament
The Road to WrestleMania continues as RAW rolls into Atlanta this week.
A tournament will be held to determine the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship, and it will begin Monday night on RAW. The opening round of The Road to WrestleMania Tournament, which will feature four matches, will be completed by the time RAW goes off the air.
In first round action, Rob Van Dam will take on Carlito. Carlito aggravated RVD's knee injury on the Cabana back in June, which set Mr. Monday Night back another six months. Now that he's back, RVD not only has the WWE Championship on his mind, but also some revenge.
Chris Masters, along with Carlito, was responsible for eliminating Kane from the New Year's Revolution Elimination Chamber. Then, last week the Big Red Machine was unable to break the Master Lock. Will Kane have better luck this week as he takes on Chris Masters in another first round matchup?
The history between Ric Flair and Triple H is well-documented...and very personal. They have been the best of friends and the worst of enemies. And they will get to write another chapter to their rivalry in the first round of the tournament.
Also in the first round, Shawn Michaels will take on Big Show. HBK already has a lot on his mind with Mr. McMahon, and now his *** Shane. The Showstopper will need to focus all of his attention on Big Show if he hopes to advance in the tournament.
Last week, Edge defeated John Cena by disqualification when Lita hit the Rated R Superstar with the WWE Championship while Cena had him set up for the F-U. While Edge won the match, the gold did not change hands, leaving the Rated R Superstar still a challenger. On top of all of this, Edge and Lita left the arena separately. How will all of this impact their relationship?
Also last week, Shane McMahon struck again, nailing Shawn Michaels with a chair as Mr. McMahon looked on. How will HBK react to this latest setback in his standoff with the WWE Chairman?
Plus, the tensions between Trish Stratus, Ashley and Mickie James continue to rise. How will Ashley and Trish react to Mickie’s actions during her celebration for the Women’s Champion last week?
Tune into RAW Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network to see what happens.
WWE had been promoting Stacy Keibler's television appearances on "Dancing with the Stars" since week one, however, they didn't promote Stacy or the show this week on WWE.com. Or on Raw for that matter earlier this week. Apparently, WWE pulled all pictures and videos of Stacy on "Dancing with the Stars" from her superstar section. There had been picture and video galleries in her section, but the links were removed as early as Wednesday. Also, there is not a single mention of her appearances on "Dancing with the Stars" to be found anywhere on the company website.
Every single Thursday night, WWE.com would leave a direct link that goes to ABC.com's "Dancing with the Stars" voting page. They'd leave the link up overnight and into Friday morning. Officials behind the show more than likely asked WWE to stop directly linking WWE fans to the "Dancing with the Stars" voting page. Show officials probably thought that WWE's motive would give Stacy an unfair advantage over the other contestants as they didn't have a mega-popular website to promote their appearances or to help tally up votes like Stacy did.
WWE.com quickly added a Shane McMahon section to the superstars page earlier this week. Although, he wasn't placed on the Raw superstars section. He has his own link on the left column of the WWE superstars page. Considering that he has a page on WWE.com now, it looks like he'll be a regular television character for the immediate future. Also note, Shane McMahon oversees the content that goes on WWE.com.

As far as I know, Sting was never in the WWF/WWE at any point of his career. He's one of the very few really big names to never jump ship one way or another...but it wasnt for lack of effort on Vince's part by any means. I know they mad a strong stab at him in the early 90s around the same time they got Flair..and again once WCW finally folded.

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event will be taped on March 18 in Detroit, MI and then will air later that night on NBC. This will be WWE's first show on NBC in 13 years. Current advertisements for the show state some WWE Legends will be involved with the event. Already announced for the taping includes Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker and John CEna vs. Edge with Triple H as the special guest referee. It is possible none of those matches will end up airing and just be "bonus matches" for the live crowd.

I was gonna start a new thread on this, but I figured that us wrestling fans would appreciate the humor a bit more.
You Might Enjoy Wrestling Too Much If...
* You light your bed on fire and fight your ******* in it.
* Your teacher gives you detention, you give them a Stone Cold Stunner and
walk out of class, flashing your middle fingers.
* You leapfrog over people while playing football, then you turn around and
clothesline them.
* You publish a shirt that say's, "Jay Leno 1-0 Who's Next?"
* Every time you sit down at a table you consider how easily it might break if
you were to moonsault it.
* You constantly deny that Brian Christopher is your ***.
* After you beat someone up, you spray paint their back.
* You chokeslam your cat.
* You elbow smash your dog and turn him/her over for the three count.
* Instead of reading a bedtime story to your ****, you put them in a sleeper.
* When you put your **** to bed, you tell them to "Rest In Peace."
* You get fired from work then show up the next day wearing a mask.
* Instead of opening a can of tuna you open up a can of whoop ass on your cat.
* In the school cafeteria, you come up behind a *** and hit him with a chair
and look around for crowd responses.
* You walk down the aisle at a church giving high fives as the people hold up
signs and chant your name.
* You won't come out of your room until your parents play your theme on the
radio.
That last one is great:rofl2:

On WWE.com, they mentioned that the Go ***** Super Bowl commercial has been censored, but it will be shown in full on RAW this Monday.
A movie website is reporting that The Rock is in negotiations to reprise the role of Philo Beddoe, who Clint Eastwood made famous in Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can.
How the hell does the Rock get all these movie deals? :1orglaugh

I caught that too. Kinda like a Milli Vanilli thing going on. "Girl you know its....Girl you know its....Girl you know its.....true."
PWInsider reports that there were a lot of people on the creative team and in management who thought that it was a mistake to put the title back on Cena at the Rumble, but obviously more people higher up, including Triple H, decided otherwise. There is a feeling that a lot of the hatred from fans towards Cena went away once they took the title off.
The decision to give the title back to Cena appears to be the result of WrestleMania plans. Triple H has been making it known that he wants to wrestle against Cena at Mania for the WWE title.

my prediction for the events leading up to wrestlemania, orton beats mysterio at no way out, gets title shot at wrestlemania, undertaker beats angle at no way out to become champ, undertaker vs orton at wrestlemania for the championship, orton wins.

Could be because of his action role in Scorpion King. And him being "the most electrifying man in Sports entertainment" or could it be WWE films will aid in the funding of these movies? Or is he actually so well known that he's allowed to choose his own movie roles.
Whom knows, maybe Michael Clark Duncan has something to do with it as well. I mean he (Michael Clark Duncan) is sorta popular, at least to me. As he did a great job as the Kingpin character in DareDevil.
