TNA Announces New "Best Of Sting" DVD, Speculation On WWE And Why It Was Briefly Pulled

- WrestlingDVDNews.com reports that TNA announced a new DVD set titled "The Best of Sting" on Monday, perhaps as a way to capitalize off his WrestleMania 31 buzz. The $17.99 DVD was also listed on the ShopTNA website for pre-order and scheduled for an April 1st release.

The trailer, which you can see above, was released when the announcement was made but the trailer and all other references to the DVD were pulled just a few hours later, including mentions on social media. The trailer has since been re-activated as you can see.

WrestlingDVDNews.com notes that there was speculation that WWE may have had something to do with the material being pulled so quickly as Sting is under contract to them and preparing to make his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 31 on Sunday. WWE released their own "The Best of Sting" DVD and Blu-ray set last year.

The promotional material was added back to the ShopTNA website today and reads like this:

"THE ICON" STING is known around the world as one of the biggest names in the history of pro wrestling!
