So the tease lastnight of 2 21 11 could be Sting coming to Raw...
Kevin Nash & Booker T from the sounds of it were going to be in the revived MEM in TNA, but that has been scrapped with Kevin Nash and Booker T returning to the WWE at the Rumble...
I'm not sure if it'll be Sting, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is or is not him. I wouldn't mind seeing Sting in the WWE because it's really one stop he hasn't made and right now it seems the WWE has plans for some of the Legends in the biz leading toward the latest WM/HoF...
I'm not sure what'll happen with TNA, but them losing Kevin Nash, Booker T and Sting opens doors for others...
My final thoughts are, things will be interesting for both companies and where things land...

From all reports, Nash got a huge pop at the Rumble... this mystifies me, considering he never got much a reaction in TNA, but that's smarks for ya, I guess. I'm not a fan of either Nash or Booker, really, so them leaving TNA to make more room for younger guys excited me more than them going to WWE.
Sting, OTOH, would be cool.. LOTS of top guys he's never fought there... that would definitely be entertaining.

I guess the 2/21 Raw is being sold as The Return of the Undertaker, I know in the areas the events are coming they promote a match or in this case it could be the Taker and not Sting...
I find that people were bored with the Kevin Nash image, so us Nash/Diesel fans love seeing Diesel back and I hope for a longer spell...

I think you hit the nail on the head... he came out as Diesel instead of Kevin Nash. It's a subtle thing but I was not surprised to hear that Diesel got a huge ovation at the Royal Rumble.

I gotta be honest, I expected him to just come out as Kevin Nash, which I had no problem with, but at the same time I doubt I would have been nearly as giddy or marking out had he not been Diesel. The second I heard "Diesel Blues", I marked like it was 1996 all over again.

If the mystery guy turns out to be Sting, I would be surprised. My first feeling when I saw it was: "Okay, so that is when Taker will be back." Whatever, that is still a few weeks away.

Apparently, Sting has not signed with TNA and the feeling within TNA is that he is WWE-bound.
Maybe the 2-21-11 date is a swerve. Maybe the Undertaker music hits and the "Deadman" is carted to the ring, draped in black robes with a vulture by his side... then he gets to ringside and we hear "SHOWTIME!" Off come the robes and it is Sting calling out Undertaker, saying that the Deadman has never beaten him or some such.

If they do the crazy shit WCW did like Sting standing in the rafters with the bird and pointing the bat, that would be sick. And sure, Taker's pretty much dead now and Sting's not what he once was, but it's a dream match of mine.

Neither of these guys is anywhere near their prime, but as Hulk Hogan has proven time and time again, never underestimate the power of nostalgia to a wrestling fan. Crow-Sting versus Neo-classic Deadman? With the current WWE hype production machine behind it? That would be epically epic.

Is that legit or just someone's Photoshop? Seems a little elaborate for a photoshop.
