10 Wrestlers Who Refused To Work Together
6. Sting And Vince McMahon
Loyalty is pro wrestling’s most precious commodity, but boy oh boy is it rare. Everyone has a price and Vince McMahon has (or had, who knows anymore) the ability to meet it. Before the dust had even settled on the end days of WCW its workers were turning up on WWE TV, the need for work clearly stronger than any sense of loyalty. This was true before the war, it was true after the war.
It was true for everyone, with the exception of Sting. As one WCW star after another turned up on WWE TV, the face-painted hero remained elusive, the only toy that Vince McMahon wasn’t able to buy. It wasn’t even as if Sting had stopped wrestling completely, turning up in TNA and becoming the first inductee into its Hall of Fame.
Years went by, decades even, but Sting and WWE just couldn’t come together. The internet clamoured for a match between Sting and The Undertaker at WrestleMania and the lure of such a battle was the closest The Stinger came to biting the bullet, but still it did not happen.
Sting eventually decided to join WWE in 2014, setting up a WrestleMania feud with Triple H that saw The Game inexplicably win, providing Sting with plenty more reasons for refusing to work with Vince McMahon for so long.
