I have a stinking suspicion that Hogan, Nash, et al. would fear Kurt's success and sabotage long-term booking plans to delay a title reign, much like they did with Bret Hart, whom could have been used much better in WCW but was relegated to full-time Hogan lackey for most of 1998.
Although a match between Sting in his prime and a young Angle would have been great, there would have been many more dud bookings such as feuding with David Flair or Tank Abbott. WCW would have likely given Angle a U.S. Title run sometime in 2000, after it was too late to turn around the sinking ship. "New Blood" Angle could have been a preview of the WWE Psycho Angle, except with the Millionaire's Club (particularly DDP) booked to go over.
