It's no secret that The Phenom and The Icon are two of the most beloved and respected performers in wrestling history. In the mid to late 90s, Taker was a major force to be reckoned with in WWE, while Sting was the beating heart of WCW.
Though they worked in separate companies, they were always discussed in the same breath due to the supernatural elements of their characters.
When The Icon joined WWE in 2014 for a brief in-ring run, fans believed the promotion would finally deliver the long-awaited dream match between him and The Undertaker. As things turned out, the bout never materialized, and Sting departed the company in 2020, after which he signed with AEW.
A Twitter user recently got fans buzzing when he shared a post saying the WCW legend was better than The Undertaker. As expected, fans of both performers thronged to the comments section to share their views. While a few echoed their support for The Icon, others defended The Phenom.

Road Dogg on why Sting vs. The Undertaker never happened in WWE
While speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling last year, WWE's Senior VP of Live Events, Road Dogg, opened up about why the dream match never took place.
The wrestling legend worked as a writer for WWE when Sting debuted for the company. He disclosed that though a match between The Icon and The Phenom would have been spectacular, it was never discussed by the creative team.
“No,” James said. “The only talks of that were dream match talks in the writers’ room and on chat rooms and stuff, ‘Oh, man, that was the match.’ I talk to people that still want that match today. I do not want to watch that match today, if I’m just being honest with you, but [it] would have been a great match back in its prime with two doctored-up entrances, like they do at ‘Mania, and have that match. It would have been iconic, for sure.”
