Sting headlined ONE PPV that did massive business, without looking I would say HHH probably was a key draw in 10+ PPVs that did way more than that, many doing in the million range.
HHH headlined with Austin and Rock on house show runs. I dont know what those did in terms of dollars, but no way Sting had a better run than that.
Business wise, I dont even think its close to be honest.

HHH was at those events and main evented many, but I just wonder how many people bought their tickets to see HHH, or even to see HHH get his comeuppance. He was a supporting star and I don't think you could argue that he sold tickets on his own.
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.
