Since Vince hates characters he didn't create, I'm sure he would have given Sting a new image.
Perhaps......."JOHNNY SCORPIO"
A man who is bitten by a radioactive scorpion (created by the polluted sea) gains extraordinary (well limited) wrestling abilities.
Surfer by day.....and at night......A SUPERHERO!!!!

He sure looked like Hal Jordan at times in WCW.

Interesting clip. As poorly as the Invasion was done, seeing the inevitable burial of Sting would've made it even worse.

I think Sting is garbage and will hurt TNA in the long run
But he is no idiot. He was right not to go back to WWE and get buried like Steiner and Nash

I really enjoyed that video. Sting makes some valid points. I often just right Sting's decision off as a moral/religious stance against WWE, but I think it is just a belief that WWE grossly misuses talents sometimes to the point of burying them or disrespecting them.

... didn't Sting say he was working with the WWE but wanted them to sign Lex Luger?

Realistically he didn't really need to join WWE.
If he was a "franchise" player who's identifiability with WCW was one of his selling points, for which he would have been highly paid for his work, what would be the point of taking a risk and placing his career in the hands of Vince McMahon?

The problem with Sting is that his Crow character was hyping up for over a year....only to be pinned by Hogan.
It's like that scene in Raiders Of The Lost Ark where the fearsome Arab swordsman is killed with just one gunshot.

I wonder if Stings make up is anti age cream. I hope I look that good when I'm 63.

They called him Goldberg and he looked and dressed the same as he did in WCW.

Yet another winning arguement to how the whole WCW 'Invasion' angle was Wrestlecrap at it's very worst! McMahon & co. should've shown former WCW wrestlers a lot more respect than what they recieved... I think at the time Vince was still bitter after the Monday Night Wars dented his massive ego & had to take his frustrations out on somebody! He even made one of Wrestling's most successful & coolest gimmicks of all time 'The NWO' look like s#*t! (Blasphemy!) Onya Sting for pointing this out... & onya Booker T for putting up with it!

If he did go, he probably would've gotten the hype, then go after the champion, then lose, then be gone for a while, then come back as someone on the midcard, then get pissed, then leave.

imo, Sting is one of my favorite wrestlers is the fact that he didn't sold out to the WWE. He is a smart man that Steve Borden.
