WWE Hall of Famer Sting contract has been expired & now he is a free agent. Recently, WWE pulled all his merchandise from their online shop, just like they did it for Brock Lesnar.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer confirmed that Sting’s WWE legend contract has not only been expired. it’s been up for a long time.
“It’s up, and it’s been up for a while because that’s the thing when you pull merchandise — like with the Lesnar thing — that means your contract was up six months ago because they have a period where they’re allowed to sell your stuff, so that period must have ended.”
“I don’t know the timeframe, but it’s a several month timeframe. So, for whatever reason, I mean I would not imagine that they would not want Sting, although the deal they made for Sting at the time they made the deal may have been, you know a lot more than a normal Legends guy. Maybe they didn’t want it. You know, I don’t know the situation as far as what was offered Sting or if anything was offered Sting — maybe if they felt like they got all the use out of Sting that they can because he’s not going to wrestle again?”
