Yeah I mean if I signed Sting to a 5 year contract I would immediately contact my lawyers and see if I could get out of it.
Sting is a mystery to me in that I'm not really sure whether or not he would do anything for ratings/buyrates. I mean he would have a better chance with WWE than TNA because WWE has all his footage and a much bigger marketing machine to get people interested.
But you have to be realistic about things. Sting will never sign on to a deal where he has to go on the road. As a result, I dont see any point in making him a full time character on TV.
And unlike a guy like Goldberg or Hogan I dont think he has a natural rival in the WWE. The only guy I can think of is Undertaker.
So, with that in mind, what I might do is have Taker wrestle in some matches and at the end the lights go out and they focus on a crow at the end of the arena. This goes on for a month or two.
Then instead of the Crow we start to see a silouette of Sting holding a baseball bat. This would cause Taker to call him out by name to show his face. Then at some point, Taker is in a program and multiple people are beating him up. Lights go out, and Sting is in the middle of the ring with the bat and he KOs everyone around Taker. Taker gets up and looks puzzeled, Sting leaves and points the bat at Taker.
Taker and Sting wind up teaming up at a major PPV (say SurvSer) against the guys he laid out and in this match Sting is waiting for a hot tag, he cleans house, but then grabs his bat and KO's Taker. Taker/Sting lose and Sting walks off with a smile on his face.
Over the next few weeks Sting assembles an "army" who do his bidding, along with someone to do the talking. Sting would play a role simialr to what TAker did with the Ministry, kinda like a cult leader. Taker comes back about a month later, goes thorugh the "army" and eventually gets to Sting. They lock horns at Mania, Taker goes over and Sting goes home.
Its not exactly revolutionary stuff, but it might make for some entertaining TV.
