The 'Monday Night Wars' have become infamous. Throughout the second half of the 1990's, WCW and the then-WWF locked horns in a ratings battle each Monday evening. For the former, Monday Nitro was the key to going head-to-head with Vince McMahon. For well over a year, Nitro defeated Monday Night Raw in the weekly ratings, making WCW the top promotion in the United States. For Sting, World Championship Wrestling had become home. Regardless, the man wasn't really a wrestling fan as such growing up, and was never a 'mark' for himself, so to speak. It makes sense to think that the Stinger was approached by the WWF a few times over the years, even when WCW was still in business. Stunningly, approaches weren't one-sided. Speaking during a live event in Glasgow, Scotland this week, Sting revealed that he occasionally contacted the McMahon family about jumping over to the WWF during the 'Attitude Era'. This would have been huge, but terms could never really be settled. Even so, it's crazy to think that Sting was discussing a move to the opposition when WCW's success was still in full swing.
