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?

#2 Sting vs. Vince McMahon

Had he signed in 2002, Sting may have found himself working

In the aftermath of the Attitude Era, Vince McMahon transitioned from an authority figure who fought most of his battles by proxy to more of a part-time wrestler in his own right. Over the years to follow, he would have major feuds with talent including Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Bobby Lashley.

Sting would have been the caliber of star McMahon worked within the ring during that era. Moreover, there would have been a natural story to tell about Sting representing WCW opposite McMahon as the chairman of WWE, paying off years of leadership roles on opposite sides of the Monday Night War.

This match probably wouldn’t have been great from a purist’s perspective but could have been a fun enough spectacle, perhaps inviting a scene similar to Sting’s match with Triple H at WrestleMania 32, complete with extensive outside interference.
