Speaking exclusively to the Mirror about his debut in the WWE's forthcoming video game release, the veteran headliner admits the opportunity to finally make his mark in the company that won the 'Monday Night Wars' TV battle was one he couldn't miss out on.
"Why now? It's a now or never thing," says the 55-year-old.
"I've done so many things in the wrestling business but the one thing I'd never done was wrestle or be a part of the WWE family.
"I didn't want too hang it all up and retire and disappear again without having done that in some capacity."
And it is evident Sting - real name Steve Borden - envisages his inclusion in the game as two pre-order playable characters as only the start of his relationship with WWE.
"I've made it clear I'd love to have one last hurrah, one last big match hopefully. And of course I've been outspoken about Undertaker being the opponent," he replies, when asked if he is open to negotiate lacing up his boots for the company.
"I know what happened at WrestleMania where Brock Lesnar broke his streak. I think, or at least I'm hoping, that Taker's still going to come back and that he's not done. If he's not done, and he would consider doing it, I'd love to work with him one time.
"I'd love to wrestle him one time before I call it quits."
