Sting finally made his way to WWE in 2014, making his first in-person appearance on a major show at the Survivor Series Pay-Per-View in November. Rightly presented as a big deal, the iconic star had long been associated with nobody but WCW and TNA, so it was considered quite the awesome moment to finally see him walk down to a WWE ring. Back in 1999, Sting's star had fallen somewhat. Just a few years before, he'd been the talk of the entire industry, set to battle Hollywood Hogan in the main event at Starrcade. Shaking up his look dramatically, Sting was reborn and ready to lead WCW towards the new millennium. Sadly, terrible booking meant he was reduced to a lifeless feud with Rick Steiner by '99. In one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments of the entire year, Sting found himself overwhelmed by dogs during a backstage skit with Steiner. Confusingly, the match between both men at The Great American Bash PPV didn't actually end, yet Steiner was proclaimed the winner upon making it back to the ring. This is one segment which really has to be seen to be believed, the production is truly awful.
