The biggest development by far at Survivor Series was the arrival of the Franchise of WCW, Sting. Much has been and will be written about the courtship, signing and eventual booking of Sting, but Sunday night was the first time he set foot in a WWE ring and he made it count. Sting didnt come out and stare down a wrestler with nothing happening. He didnt cut some cheesy promo about being in the major leagues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU6ffp3cnkI No, Sting walked out in the middle of a main event match that would determine the balance of power in WWE and Deathdropped the COO, Triple H, and helped Dolph Ziggler defeat Seth Rollins. That is how you have an impact. Stings arrival showed younger fans that he is a big deal, and that WWE gets that hes a big deal. This isnt the company signing any other guy. This was the last WCW holdout. Unless Ted Turner decides to show up on Raw, fans just saw the last soldier in the Monday Night Wars cross over to the other side. Now, lets see where everything goes from here. But for one night, fans saw something truly special.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
