Sting vs. Triple H Announced For WWE WrestleMania 31!

by Eric Francisco

While the majority of the world is currently watching the 87th Academy Awards, a significant portion is also watching the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view. Announced at this inaugural event: Sting vs. Triple H at WWE WrestleMania in March.

Although kind of expected going in to Fastlane, a segment devoted to Triple H confronting Sting made it official.

It’s exciting. Nicknamed “The Icon” for his work in Ted Turner’s WCW during their heyday (and now known as “The Vigilante,” because of The Crow, I guess?), Sting long avoided going to the WWE and still managed to maintain his status as one of the biggest names in professional wrestling despite never dancing in the House of McMahon. That all changed as he slowly made his way into the WWE, after appearing at San Diego Comic-Con last summer and becoming an official character in the WWE 2K14 video game.

I will admit that the segment itself at Fastlane was kind of bland. Granted, I was distracted with the Academy Awards on my television (WWE Network was a tab on my laptop), but I still felt compelled to watch the Oscars and not, you know, the god damn Icon staring down Triple H. I’ll be all eyes and ears at WrestleMania though.

Excited for Sting’s first WWE match? Or do you want Triple H to Pedigree him out of the company? Share us your thoughts!

Sting Arrives In The WWE Courtesy Of ‘WWE 2K15’

If 2K wanted to send a message with their first fully developed wrestling title under their name, then message received.

For the first time in his long, storied career, Sting, the icon of WCW, (and TNA I guess…), will step foot in a WWE ring! Only in this case, it will be in the video game realm of WWE 2K15 in the form of pre order DLC.

Featuring both the early 90’s “surfer” Sting as well as the “Crow” Sting that would become his trademark look, the wrestling legend will join a roster featuring many of today’s biggest talent, such as cover boy, John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt. Nearly any dream match you’ll ever want to put together can now be possible, even the long clamored for showdown between Sting and The Undertaker. Considering recent events, that might be the closest we’ll ever get to actually seeing the match play out!

But what makes this announcement more interesting is that after years of staunchly avoiding the WWE, this is the first official appearence he’s made for the company since becoming a free agent last year. Aside from an unannounced ten second clip about the Ultimate Warrior after his passing, (RIP), seeing new Sting content in anything related to Vince McMahon’s company is sure to excite wrestling fans both new and old. Besides, everyone who’s appeared before signing a contract in the past, (Brock Lesnar, Ultimate Warrior), have returned within that year. Can the same be said for Sting? Only time will tell, but I’m crossing my fingers.

Check out Sting’s reveal trailer below and let us know if this will sway your decision to step back into the ring. WWE 2K15 will release for both current and last gen consoles this fall!
