The entire storyline was centered around the Surfer Sting dying from grief when fans 'turned on him' for seemingly siding with nWo in 96, and then being reborn as a vengeful spirit. You know, pretty much the same storyline as the Crow movie that he ripped off?
Obviously WCW never said Sting was a zombie. But there were supernatural elements to the gimmick, which were played off as 'is he just messing with Hogan somehow?'
It was meant to imply that he might have supernatural powers, which Schiavone would say we're "mind games" that Sting was playing to frighten and confuse Hogan and the nWo.
