For a time, it appeared that Sting would go down as the biggest star of his generation never to have worked for WWE. He was loyal to WCW right up to its end, and rather than jump to WWE, he dedicated the rest of his good ring years to working with Impact Wrestling.

It would be easy enough for Vince McMahon to shun one of the biggest stars to represent his competition, who had gone on to turn away opportunities to work with WWE. However, in the end, McMahon seemed to recognize the value of Sting as an icon to the WCW faithful, and a legitimate legend of the business on the whole. So, well past his prime, WWE let him in to be a featured special attraction from late 2014 through 2015, before accepting a Hall of Fame induction in 2016 to put a proper cap on an unforgettable career—despite the fact that most of that career was in competition to WWE.
