that fact that he got a pop as Steve Borden and no need to even say Sting should signal to WWE that he should be brought in...they should have attempted this years ago though since like 02-03 and just convinced him that he wouldn't have anything to worry about and his character would be protected...its not like he didn't job to big players in WCW at certain points
they could have brought back surfer Sting at some point for shyts and giggles with the horrible bleach dye job he sported in the 80's
