Sting may now be a part of the WWE family, but he took some time to discuss the fall of WCW.

Sting rose to prominence in Ted Turner's organization and eventually moved onto a Hall of Fame career in TNA before joining the WWE for the first time, but "The Vigilante" believes that if WCW would have kept its eyes off of WWE, it could have continued to thrive.
Sting and Triple H sat down with Renee Young for the WWE's forthcoming Monday Night War: Shots Fired DVD and Blu-ray and the WWE Network previewed some of the interview this past Monday.

The WWE also released a teaser for the program in which Sting discusses the downfall of Ted Turner's organization which led to its eventual closing in March 2001.
"I think it started the moment we started paying too much attention to somebody else," Sting said. "We got our eyes off of what we were doing and onto what they were doing and wanting to spank them so bad that we got too carried away with that every week."
Triple H, who faced Sting in his first (and so far only) match in the WWE at WrestleMania 31 in March at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., was asked what the turning point in the Monday Night Wars was and The Game said that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shoving Mike Tyson in the buildup to WrestleMania XIV (1998) sticks out for him.
"Hard to pick a moment for me," Triple H said. "But, I think, I know it didn't change at that particular time, but to me the moment of Austin shoving Tyson in the ring was the change for me of the...you know even though we've been doing stuff prior to that and Steve was in that position...that was kind of the catalyst of the like, we're in a whole other direction here."
After years of back-and-forth negotiations, Sting joined the WWE last fall and made his debut at the Survivor Series in November. After his first appearance on RAW, a bout was made between The Vigilante and The Game for the Show of Shows.
Triple H got the win in a match that saw outside interference from the original nWo (Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) and D-Generation X (X-Pac, The New Age Outlaws and Shawn Michaels).
Sting said he'd be open to another match, but there has been no word as to whether or not the WWE plans to have him wrestle again following his loss to The Game, the final chapter in the WCW vs. WWE war.
Sting told Renee Young in March that he'd be open to a return to the ring if the WWE ever asked him to come back.
"I don't know," Sting said when Young asked him about his future in the WWE in an exclusive interview in March. "I don't know what the future holds, but I do know this...I don't know. I don't know what the future holds, I really don't know. I don't know what opportunities the WWE might throw my way, but whatever they do throw my way, I'm gonna reach out and I'm gonna grab it. And if they don't throw anything my way, well that's just too bad. It's a crying shame as far as I'm concerned."
