It's odd people still make this argument. WWE owns everything that was WCW, so for all intents and purposes, it would be the same hall of fame. Plenty of people are in the hall that never worked for WWE. As for thee legends contract, the only thing you do to earn that is be a name they can probably make money on. There is no "deserving" a business deal. With the exception of celebrity inductees, Name me one?! And I'll just leave this here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_Hall_of_FameCus that's where sting should go... Bob Armstrong and Gordon Solie. Many of the ones I had thought of did a few MSG shows back when WWE rejoined the NWA and those shows had wrestlers from all of the different companies (Gagne, Inoki, etc). There's also Gorgeous George. But that's kind of cheating as he was done before WWE existed. But my main point is as much as WWE has done to BE pro wrestling/sports entertainment, why would their hall not reflect that? They want their hall of fame to be the wrestling hall of fame, and Sting makes perfect sense for that. And the WCW hall of fame doesn't exist anymore. WWE owns WCW ad everything that came along with it. Sting is one of the few guys that didn't wrestle for Vince and became a star, and I don't think he should be left out of anything because of that fact.

While members wrestled in the WWE under different tag team names the Four Horsemen went into the WWE HOF. As far as I can remember I don't ever remember any of them wrestling as the Four Horsemen in the WWE. And I don't think Vern Gagne wrestled in the WWE, but I am pretty sure he was inducted into the WWE HOF a few years ago. So there's been a few Non-WWE inducted. Also, the entire Von Erich clan got in,when only Kerry ever officially worked there. Basically the deal is, if WWE owns the rights to any library a wrestler performed in,then they're fair game for the HoF. Back on topic though, the sheer amount of Sting figures that could be done in the span of a couple years is amazing. I mean there are multiple Warriors/Savages out there yet I still want more. Sting (along with Flair,Hogan, and a couple others) should be milked the same way Cena,Orton,Rey and Show are for the modern line. And they would sell through the roof every time.

Kevin & David both wrestled in the late 70s in a couple of 1 off matches. Nothing regular though.

Possibly an nWo that could go with Nash, Giant, Macho etc. Really exciting and hope it happens!

Especially David. But I still didn't count them as regular wwe performers. That's why I said Kerry was the only one "officially " employed there. You are, however,correct. Its a shame they didn't venture out past wccw once it was in full swing. I always thought Kevin had the "look" Vince was interested in around that time. But Kerry was definitely the big star Vince probably only really wanted anyway.

Because they did wrestle a match or two in the WWE as themselves.

I'd love if they made an Nwo sting... Although I know it wasn't Borden who played him, would be fun to add to a Nwo collection
If Mattel makes sting. It would really make wcw collections more possible....

GAB '90 is a must and after that I would buy any and all versions of Sting they were to give us minus his look for the last year or so in TNA when he started wearing the furry looking attire and not tucking his tights into his boot.

So if that's what he shows up in WWE with I will pass on modern Sting. As for Wolfpac Sting I was never a fan of the red facepaint, but it would still be better than Modern furry Sting.

I'd love to have a late Surfer look, when he had the really shaggy brown hair. I don't recall there ever being a figure of that.

If & when they do make a Sting figure, it will probably be a look that both kids & collectors are familiar with. If I had to guess that would be some sort of black & white/crow version first. Also if they get hogan, a defining moments type 2 pack from Starcade 97 would be hugely popular with the older collector crowd. It could even be an RSC exclusive.

Seeing Mattel did an "Evolution of Rey" set I just hope they do an "Evolution of Sting" boxed set like the Toy Biz set. I had purchased a couple of that Toy Biz set and I would definitely buy multiples of a Sting set by Mattel.

There are so many surfer Sting attires I want. Tops being GAB '90 or the '90 War Games (?) the one where he wore the same attire as the '90 GAB bit a different red, white, blue facepaint. I think it was the same as the above pic. But the neon pink or green would be must bus as well.
