Edit: and "even he" was treated like an absolute legend. The Mania match booking wasn't good, Sting should have won and the NWO/DX shouldn't have been involved. Take that out and every Sting appearance was treated as a HUGE deal. He didn't exactly get relentlessly buried. Not being funny but that whole HHH/Sting feud was less built off “HOLY CRAP, IT’S STING AND HE’S FACING HHH!”, it was built off “Sting is the last part of WCW and WCW sucked so we can finally say we won the Monday Night Wars”. Like, even ignoring the match, who could possibly care about that? And I can’t really buy that when his next “feud” was against Seth after a long absence over a statue. Yeah they tried to not play it up as WWE vs WCW but then the match started and JBL existed. Vince had a hard on for Trips and Steph vs Rock and Ronda a year later and not only did he not get it but it overshadowed Sting vs HHH.

They had Sting appear for his first in ring promo (without the weird voice stuff they did for some reason) and literally say “I’m not here to for revenge from WCW, it died years ago and I’m here to stop The Authority” to which Stephanie came out and said “How dare you, WCW guy, come for revenge for the death of your company to kill mine!” and it’s like “SO WHY DID YOU HAVE HIM CLARIFY HIS STANCE IF YOU’RE GOING TO JUST CHANGE IT BACK AGAIN?!”
