Suzanne Abshire: For once in a very long time I agree with you completely, the very best place for a wrestler like Sting is in the WWE because he would be able to draw money wrestling for Vince which he can't do in TNA. I don't see Sting as the type of wrestler that has the ability to get the younger talent over. So wrestling for a company that doesn't need him to carry a match is a much better fit. P.S. The Rock has said in the past that the one person that he would come out of retirement to wrestle is Sting so that gives them another "Dream Match" they could book.

David: My answer to your question on whether TNA or WWE should try and resign or sign Sting... I think that either company would be stupid not to try and get Sting. Whether people admit it or not, Sting is a huge draw. People unbelievably still want to see Hulk Hogan to some extent, and let's face it... Sting has a lot more to offer than Hogan does or ever did. I started watching wrestling again before Sting returned, but if I would've heard that Sting was returning before I started watching again... You would've had me tuning in right there, and I'd be a loyal fan, too. People can say what they want about Sting, but he's so charismatic and entertaining, he still has the passion. Some of these guys come to TNA and they just don't care anymore... Sting cares; you can tell by his performances. But I'd much rather see Sting stay in TNA because the WWE will ruin his great legacy that he built for over 20 years in the span of about two months. I have no desire to watch Sting get buried in those dream matches... Pedigree on Sting? No thank you!
Loretta Kirinich: I disagree with you completely about Sting. I tune in to TNA specifically to watch Sting. WWE would treat Sting with as much contempt as they now do Shawn Michaels. Your recent scoop said that Vince McMahon made fun of Michaels in front of the entire locker room when he appeared recently on TV after a long absence. It's typical of McMahon, who wants to be the star of the show himself. Sting has always known his worth; McMahon would not meet his financial requests when they spoke about Sting going to WWE. While I would love to see a Sting-Undertaker match, it doesn't have to be at WWE - it could be set up somewhere other than WWE. Sting doesn't need WWE; he is treated like the superstar he is at TNA and that's just how his fans want to see him.
Nestor Sanchez of Los Angeles, Calif.: I would like to see Sting in WWE. Like Keller stated, Sting can still be a valuable player if used right. I would like to see him feud with Taker especially. I say bring in Sting to Raw to shake things up and refresh the main event scene while John Cena is out. If the WWE doesn't want Sting for the long run, they can sign him to a one year deal and get the best out of him like they did with Goldberg.

PWTORCH FORMAT CONVENTIONS
For the sake of clarity to our readers (and to save us time editing these same things over and over), please follow these simple conventions when writing Torch Reax:
-Wrestlers teaming together should be connected with "&" symbol (e.g. Hunter & Michaels, Devon & Ray) or with a "/" (e.g. Animal/Hawk, Harris/Storm), but not dashes and not the word "and."
-To designate wrestlers who are fighting, feuding, or wrestling each other, put a dash (-) between them (e.g. Michaels-McMahon, Jarrett-Sting, Hogan-Andre) or use "vs."
-The word versus should always be abbreviated this way: "vs." with a period afterward (not "v." or "v/s" or "VS" or "VS." or any other way).
-Plus, it's just our policy, but we don't indulge wrestling promotions' strange spelling fetishes where they spell Raw, Smackdown, Heat, Impact, etc. with the haphazard capitalization of various leTTeRz. It seems very "junior high," so no Raw (it's Raw), no iMPACT (it's Impact), etc.
-Please try to avoid overuse of dot-dot-dots. If you have a thought that's "trailing off," you can use for effect, but otherwise, just use periods, commas, and our personal favorite, semicolons if you dare. We have always had a policy of only one exclamation point and no ALL CAPS. Let your words convey the meaning of your point. There's many to choose from out there.
