Bruce Prichard Discusses Whether TNA Should Have Signed Sting

On the latest episode of his Something To Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard discussed working with Sting in TNA, which was the first time they really crossed paths. Sharing his admiration and respect for ‘The Icon,’ Prichard said,

“I was excited to work with Sting, yes. I’ve always liked Sting from day one in his time in Mid-South teaming with Hellwig — I always had a good relationship with him. I’ve been through a few different negotiations trying to bring him into the WWE over the years and thought very highly of him.”

Prichard also shared his insights on whether TNA should have signed him in the first place, which, along with the signings of the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and dozens of legends remains a hot “what-if” to this day.

“Do I think that TNA needed Sting at this point? I don’t think they needed him, no. I think that when you looked at — I had no idea what the budget was, I had no idea what the contracts look like. But three months from now I had access to all that, and if you were to have asked me if I knew then what I know now type of situation I would have gone ‘Oh my God, no.’ In addition to that, I believe that this was during the time that Sting was negotiating with WWE. I thought, you know what dude go make the money. Go do it. Go get that. Go get that moment in the sun and this will always be here if you want to come back and do it. I think there was a feeling, especially on Dixie’s part, Dixie wanted Sting. Dixie wants, Dixie gets.”
