Backstage Update On Sting's WWE Contract Status: Has He Signed Yet?, More

Despite the fact that WWE premiered the WWE 2K15 video game commercial that featured Sting on this past Monday's RAW, a commercial that reportedly cost roughly $200,000, it is believed that Sting and WWE have yet to officially sign a contract.

Additional speculation that Sting had signed with WWE came when the company began marketing Sting merchandise via the official WWE Shop. WWE is of the impression that they own the intellectual property to merchandise Sting materials, since they bought the intellectual property as part of the WCW sale in 2001.
Regardless, the fact that Triple H teased Sting possibly coming to WWE one day during his most recent sit-down interview with Michael Cole on WWE.com had led many within the company to believe that he is of the opinion that the deal with Sting is an inevitability.

As noted in the past, Sting himself has expressed desire in working a match at WrestleMania 31, with The Undertaker being the key name that he has mentioned in various interviews.

Kevin Nash Speaks On nWo & D-X, Hulk Hogan's Heel Turn, The Kliq, Cena & More

The following are highlights of a new Miami Herald interview with Kevin Nash:

Hulk Hogan's nWo heel turn and heels today: "[Hulk] was watching the show, and he saw the momentum really shifting. He saw Scott and I as heel personas were perceived as being cool. He thought if there was a time to switch, it was now, because he could see the momentum going with Scott and I. So when he jumped, it was a shock, but it was a tsunami that pushed the thing for almost three years. It’s so hard. You look at John Cena. He plays the guy in the white cowboy hat. Our society has gone with the anti-heroes probably since Brandon Lee in ‘The Crow.’ Times have changed. It’s no longer waving the flag as much as it was. There’s a lot of disgruntled people in society. When you look at the demographic, you ask, ‘Where’s the money at?’ Well, the money’s in this kind of tweener guy -- a bad guy with a cool persona. One thing about Hulk. If he smells dollar signs. it doesn’t take him long to make a decision. He saw the way it was going and made the decision."

The nWo and DX in WCW and WWE"They both had members of the Kliq. DX is what really made Triple H. He was playing the blue blood, and then Triple H went away from that persona and kind of took over DX, and that’s when Paul Levesque got to be himself. That’s when I think he really took off because he’s got an incredible sense of humor, a really fun loving guy. They kind of took our [nWo] formula. They [DX] were younger guys, and they made it a little hipper. Anytime WWE produces anything it’s going to be produced better."
