Should Sting have went to Vince in the 80s?

Although Vince left their looks relatively unchanged, he definitely watered them all down. Even Flair. In the NWA, he was a cheatin' heel, but he was still a legit threat to beat almost anyone cleanly. Not so in the WWF. It's not so much that Vince would have changed Sting, but that he would have used him in ways that diminish his character.

I have to admit, though, that my take on this is colored by my complete lack of respect for WWF/E's in-ring product. The prospect of Sting holding WWE-style matches with various big WWE stars is exciting to a lot of people, but doesn't really move me at all. Maybe Sting vs. Michaels (a great in ring performer), but the HBK character has always annoyed me, so the promos/build-up would've been a chore.

There is no way he would have been the top face so you're right, he might not have been ruined but he wouldnt have been used right. I mean he would been on the level of Warrior or Savage. Talent/charisma but stuck behind the monster Hogan. He would had really flubbed if he left with Flair. With Hogan/Savage/Piper as top faces and then Flair/Sid/Taker as the top heels, Sting would have been royally F'd

I knew most folks would disagree with Flairs statement.Im still kinda on the fence but the more I think about it the more I agree

but isnt that what Flair was saying PJ?that if Sting had of went north Vinnie would have known what to do with him?as opposed to the way his career went?

thats the way I picked it up.....but I havent seen the DVD fior a while.he says something similar in his shoot.

I think if Sting had arrived in 1991 when I was 11 I would have wet myself ;D

the ideal time for Sting to jump would have been 1992.as we seen WCW was in chaos and Hulkamania was fading.....

I think he was right not to go there after the closure of WCW.especially after the initial invasion angle.

he would have been fed to HHH in a title program just like Booker,Goldberg and Nash.

nah. Sting didn't find her true persona in the 80's yet. He was still green, and yeah I know the Warrior was green as can be. But Sting got a education wrestling the likes of Flair and the rest of the Horsemen. And tagging with Dusty and so on. He learned everything from them. There wasn't anyone in the WWF, at that time, that would or could do that. Hogan would never have cause he wouldn't want Sting to pass him. Savage was paranoid as ever and would never give up his spot. Warrior was a tool. Andre wouldn't take the time to care. Sting was right to stay with WCW/NWA.

Now the attitude era is a different story. I think Sting would have done well in a feud with Austin and then The Rock. But he wouldn't have lasted too long. I just don't ever see him fitting in up north.

there's a lot of honor in the fact that he never sold out and switched over. he was one of the few to resist vince's pull.

He probably would have made more money there though
