10 Major Signings That WWE Totally Wasted
1. Sting
Like many of the wrestlers on our list, Sting's WWE run started with an awesome debut, but ended in dismal failure.
13 years after WCW's death, Sting finally abandoned his long-held resistance to signing with Vince McMahon, becoming the defunct company's last big name to join WWE in late 2014. He made his presence felt at Survivor Series, destroying Triple H during Team Authority's disbandment match to end their reign of terror, but the moment was sullied just a few weeks later.
The Authority were reinstated, rendering Sting's debut pointless. His feud with 'The Game' continued, however, and after a confrontation at Fastlane 2015, Sting and Triple H finally met in what should've been a historic match at WrestleMania 31.
The bout was a sham. Marred by excessive interference from D-Generation X and the New World Order, it saw Triple H inexplicably overcome his opponent in a moment that felt like one last big "f*** you" from Vince McMahon to WCW. It sucked, and while Sting would eventually go on to face Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship at Night Of Champions, the loss had sucked all intrigue from his comeback.
A neck injury suffered during the Rollins bout ended Sting's career. His long-awaited run was short, but WWE did nothing to maximise it.
