Sting Set To Make History This Sunday At WrestleMania 31

The Icon will break records just by showing up.

According to a poll on WWE.com, the upcoming fight between "The Vigilante" and "The King" is Wrestlemania's most anticipated bout come Sunday. With over 30% of the vote, The Icon's WWE and WrestleMania debut stands several percent higher than the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar bout, which is a distant second. It's unsurprising that Sting is drawing such interest. Finally competing in the WWE for the first time in his illustrious, thirty year career, Sting's long-awaited 'Mania bow will break records and make history the moment the opening bell rings. At the senior age of 56, Sting will become easily the oldest superstar to debut at a WrestleMania. With Sting's advanced age, many are wondering what kind of physical condition he will be in as he prepares to battle The Game. WWE is likely going to want this match to go 20 minutes (buffed up to 30+ when you factor in the extravagant entrances) and with Santa Clara preparing to be a toasty 82 degrees come Sunday, speculation to the level of crowd heat for this match is varying. It's not out of the question for WWE to make this bout a No Holds Barred style match at the last minute, particularly as so much of the build up has involved the use of each man's trademark weapon of choice. As of the time of this writing no such stipulation has been announced but with interest in this match high and WWE likely to want to do all they can to make the bout the best it can be, don't be surprised if they pull an impromptu switch to hardcore rules live on the show this Sunday.
