From Wikipedia:
In the early spring of 1999 Sting made a return on Nitro and then, at
Spring Stampede, fought against Hogan, Flair and DDP for the World Heavyweight Championship, with Randy Savage being the Special Guest Referee with Page winning the belt with a bit of help from Savage. On Nitro on the 12th of April, Sting pinned Ric Flair in one on one match. Then on Nitro on April 26, Sting defeated Page to win the World Heavyweight Championship, only to lose the title back to Page a little over an hour and a half later in the main event in a four-way match with a returning
Kevin Nash and Goldberg when Page pinned Nash, allowing him to win the title without beating Sting. This unsuccessful title defense ended the
shortest title reign in WCW history. Sting had a feud with Goldberg and they ended up having a match at
Slamboree when they wrestled to a no-contest when both
Rick Steiner and
Scott Steiner both attacked Goldberg and Sting. It caused Rick Steiner and Sting to feud and wrestle to no-contest match at the Great American Bash when they both fought to the back and Sting got attacked by 3 dogs. The next night on Nitro, Sting saved Nash for being attacked by
Sid Vicious and Savage. At the Bash At The Beach,
Team Madness defeated Kevin Nash and Sting in a tag team match where Savage won the World Title. On the July 19 Nitro, Sting defeated Ric Flair to became the President of WCW.
Sting then teased a
heel turn, as he was questioning Hogan's trustworthiness and credibility in the coming weeks to Fall Brawl. At the pay-per-view, Sting defeated Hogan for the World Title after accepting help from Luger and attacking Hogan with a baseball bat, thus turning heel. Sting's heel turn and subsequent attitude change did not go over well with fans.
[4] They still cheered him despite the fact that he was supposed to be the bad guy. At
Halloween Havoc Sting retained the title against Hogan after Hogan arrived to the ring in street clothes and merely laid down for a 3-count but promptly lost an unsanctioned match to Goldberg at end of the night. Sting attacked the referee
Charles Robinson after the match. Sting was stripped of the title the next night on Nitro because of his attack on the referee. Sting was given the opportunity to regain the title in a 32-man title tournament. He reached the semi-finals after he defeated
Brian Knobbs,
Meng and Lex Luger but lost to
Bret Hart at Mayhem when Luger came to the ring and hit Sting with the baseball bat. This turned Sting back into a face and began a feud between him and Luger. Sting defeated Luger at Starrcade by disqualification when Elizabeth hit Sting with a baseball bat in his jaw and Luger attacked with a steel chair and the bat and putting Sting out for the rest of the year.
