When he left in the fall he was Wolfpack sting when he returned he was the crow. Was it ever explained why he turned back since the nwo was reunited.

It was one of those things where the logic of the character explained enough: Sting would have never joined the traditional nWo, ergo he wanted no part of the heel Wolfpack. They could have spelled it out a little better (or made it a damn angle), but it was fine at the time.

By the time he came back Hogan was a face, DDP and Flair were heels and the Wolfpack stable was gone, so the only person he could have gotten revenge on was Bret for Halloween Havoc 98 but they went a different route.

What was the basis of Sting's 1999 heel turn again?

It was one of those times where wcw could and should have explained a little better. Fans love continuity in wrestling. Just as other fans love it in their soap operas. WHEN WILL WRESTLING LEARN?  |

What was the basis of Sting's 1999 heel turn again? Think it went back to the whole trust issue shit again tho I could be misremembering. I know they kept repeating after the heel turn the only thing about sting is nothing is for sure or some shit like that. I think the whole point of Sting turning heel was he was supposed to be this bitter heel because they accepted Hulk back with open arms. In theory it could have worked but the fans weren’t going to boo Sting. |

I think the idea of heel Sting was WCW had exausted every possible turns and they needed a big shock like when Hogan turned. The only guy left was Sting. In many ways it was not a bad idea with two WCW mainstays like Sting and Luger saying "it's our time now".
Not a bad idea but there were a few obstacles:
1. For one thing they said that backstage Sting really did not want to do it
2. WCW fans would never cheer the yellow and orange babyface goof Hogan over Sting
3. Bischoff was fired soon after and so the conceptors of the idea where not there to follow it through

Missed opportunity, just before a commercial break, Sting busts into the nWo locker room, all hyped in his Wolfpac gear "hey guys, what's happened while I was gone?" *fade to commercial* *back from commercial* "oh" *Sting slowly backs out of the room and closes the door* |

They could have spelled it out a little better (or made it a damn angle), but it was fine at the time. There was a few times during the angle where Schiavone did wonder what Sting thought of what the Wolfpac was doing, or what he would have thought of Hogan being part of the group. However, the Wolfpac fizzling with Hogan's face turn and subsequent injury meant that there just wasn't a Wolfpac for him to even come back to. They sure didn't play up anything of the sort when Nash and Sting were in a tenuous partnership against Savage and Sid later in the year. |

I think Sting just went back to Crow Sting after the NWO reformed in early 1999. It was just the logical thing to do. As far as his heel turn in Sept. 1999, what a fiasco that was. Keep in mind that Sting was being messed with that entire summer in terms of being framed as the Hummer driver, he didn't know who he could trust (Nash? Luger? Hogan? Hell who knows?). So finally he just decided to bash Hogan with a bat and take the title. The crowd popped for it, reacting more like they understood his frustration with that entire hideous angle and were glad that for once Sting got the jump on someone.
