Sting sold tickets on his name alone across quite a wide generation, people of all ages came to see Sting. I think that is the difference.
In saying that, I wouldn't use him at all now because I feel his time has passed and totally agree with you on that point.
Triple H drawing a lot more than Sting is dubious though.

Bischoff said he shut down most of WCWs touring when he started. That would have been when Sting was one of the top guys in WCW.
Sting's real drawing period was the height of the NWO. So at best he would be sharing those numbers with them. And compared to Hunter's run on top, it was a short period of time.
Figuring out a star's drawing ability is murky at best, but like I said, I just don't see it as being close.
