10 Worst-Booked WWE Stars EVER
4. Sting
That entry on DDP, you could argue, cynically regurgitates the reductive argument that Vince McMahon involuntarily booked ex-WCW personnel like sh*t because he was not responsible for their initial success.
But Sting's belated WWE run was similarly sickening; debuting at Survivor Series 2015, a man presented as the Icon of WCW exited WWE with a really weird 0-2 win/loss record, you suspect, because he was a WCW icon. Sting promised to save us from the Authority faction, until WWE realised that they sort of needed that faction to carry the summer schedule. So, since Sting couldn't do that, he would instead defeat Triple H at the climax of a tired Monday Night Wars retread WWE suddenly claimed was the basis of the beef. He did not win, presumably because WWE could not allow its Attitude Era figurehead to lose to a WCW guy. However WWE attempted to promote Sting was ultimately irrelevant: clearly, the will to tarnish Sting was too strong. Over the course of just one match - the Seth Rollins business was just unfortunate all-round - Sting lowered himself from an act raging against the machine to a performer just happy to be part of it.
Sting's legacy would have benefitted more had he simply stayed in (LOL)TNA. That unenviable fact alone confirms just how pointless the whole thing was.
