While making the media rounds last week promoting TNA Impact from London, Sting revealed he was "very, very close" to jumping to WWE last year. He also said during an interview with CNY KISS FM that he's undecided on whether it was the right decision.

Asked if he regrets not going to WWE, Sting said, "Yes and no. Who wouldn't want to say they did at least one WrestleMania? I'd like to be able to say I did at least one of those, and that would be it.

"I've had great conversations with him (Vince McMahon) over the years and been real close on probably three or four different occasions of going up there. But, there was always a need met or a desire of mine met with WCW and now with TNA, so I stay."

The topic was brought up when Sting stressed that a match with The Undertaker is at the top of his list of remaining dream matches his career.

"I'd have to say the top one, and it's all over Twitter, I might as well just comment on it - Undertaker. Wrestling fans have wanted to see Sting vs. Undertaker for years. And, I think between his gimmick and mine, it could be pretty cool," Sting said.

Sting also addressed the yearly retirement discussions and being year-to-year with TNA. "Every year, I say, 'I think this will be the last year,'" he said. "Nostalgia is huge. For me, it's huge." He added that wrestling fans keep drawing him back in to wrestling every year.

Also in the interview, Sting discussed his routines with pain medication and warm-ups, picked the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl, and noted he is currently living on a ranch in the Dallas, Texas area.
