He won the title shot on Feb 24 and the match was 3 weeks later. I guess they could have signed him in that 3 week period, but did they have to go full on implied racism in the build? First of all, you don't do that ever. Secondly if you do break that rule then Booker needs to go over regardless of anything.
As for his match against Sting, I don't think it was a comedy match at all. It was booked as kind of like a play telling the story of the Monday Night War. WWF won and they shook hands afterwards effectively ending the war forever.
