What if Sting had signed with WWE in 2002?

Sting waited until the very end of his career to sign with WWE. What if he had come over sooner?

#3 The InVasion 2.0

Sting might have been the harbinger of a second InVasion.

The InVasion was an infamously poor angle that saw WWE squander first-time dream matches and the unique intrigue of WWE’s top stars squaring off with WCW’s. One of the cardinal flaws of the story was the absence of WCW’s biggest stars beside a select few guys like Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page.

After the InVasion angle wrapped up at Survivor Series 2001, Ric Flair debuted as an authority figure. He was followed by the New World Order, and the next year and change would see Scott Steiner and Goldberg make their way to the WWE locker room, too.

Sting arriving in 2002 could have marked a turning point for WWE to have tried a program centered on WCW invading again. It’s tough to say if things would have worked out any better the second time around, but it could have been interesting to see, and probably wouldn’t have been any worse.
