If both parties decide that another wrestling match isn't a viable option right now, there's nothing to suggest that Sting wouldn't make a great authority figure. Obviously, this doesn't mean he'd be a member of The Authority, simply an alternative, an antidote of sorts to the power they wield. Throughout his career, Sting has always been somewhat under-rated as a talker, but that's likely because a lot of fans attribute his best work to appearing silent, stalking the likes of the nWo and The Authority from the shadows. What better way to show what he can do with a microphone than to position the man as the General Manager of Raw, even if only briefly? This sort of angle could keep the Stinger prevalent on television, keeping distance between matches to make them seem even more important. The GM thing is done to death, that's perhaps the only hitch in such a plan, but it's difficult to imagine fans wouldn't pop for any announcement that Sting was in charge of the show.
