As much as I love Sting, I don't see it being a worthwhile situation to bring Sting in to work as Raw GM and unseat Maddox. Maddox, whatever deficiencies he may have, is actually quite good in that role, particularly in the foil he provides to the more physically-menacing authority figures of HHH and Kane. As his dissembling nature is different from Vickie's outright brown-nosing, it also provides a unique perspective in the GM role from that provided by Vickie on Smackdown.
As for Sting, if they want to put him into an authority figure role, he would work better being installed by Vince (who apparently will be the one acting as the "anti-HHH" (I would honestly prefer someone else to Vince, but I'm not entirely sure who that could be at this moment....hell, I suppose it could be Sting), perhaps as a "Commissioner" rather than a GM, a la HBK or Foley, or even as....whatever the hell Austin called himself when he was in the "commissioner" role and his job was to come out on his 4-wheeler and give people Stunners (I want to say he called himself the Sheriff of WWE or something like that and actually wore a silver star pinned to his vest). In fact, having Sting (backed by Vince or whomever) act in a counter role to Maddox (backed by HHH, Stephanie, and Kane) really doesn't sound too bad the more I think about it.
Honestly, though, if they're finally going to sign Sting, I just want to see him go against Undertaker at Mania. I know they're two old guys past their primes, but they're still proud and they still know how to work. Those two would work their asses off to provide a great match and I don't see how they could fail to provide something that would really be special, particularly given the amount of respect they reportedly have for one another. Whatever they do with him after that, so long as it's not putting him in the ring on a regular basis (particularly in the main event scene), I'm cool with.
