10 Wrestlers WWE Paid To Do NOTHING!
8. Sting
After evading WWE's tentacles for the better part of three decades, Sting, WCW's icon and the last hold-out from the Monday Night Wars, was finally caught in the company's dragnet in 2014. All it took was a deal which asked him to do a whole lot of nothing for a whole lot of something.
With his aura firmly neutered following the obligatory, introductory loss to Triple H on his long-awaited debut at WrestleMania 31, the Stinger didn't make another WWE appearance until the following August - 175 days later - when he pretended to be a statue. In other words, he literally stood completely still for ten minutes until he was unsheathed by a stupid, surprised Seth Rollins.
Three weeks later, in retaliation for being humiliated by a Covent Garden attraction, Rollins seriously injured Sting, ending his career. In just over a year and a half, WWE had managed to eke out four matches from the one legendary figure fans still wanted to see. Sting had been destung. He always was a fan of watersports, so it was entirely fitting the company had metaphorically peed on him.
