10 Reasons WWE Are Inducting Sting Into The Hall Of Fame

5. He Proved Himself All Over Again With Seth Rollins

A lot of fans were torn on the outcome of Sting's match against Triple H at WrestleMania 31. Some felt the actual match result didn't matter, it was more about performance. Others believed Sting should have won, instead of WWE rubbing WCW's failure in people's faces one more time. Whatever the case, fans were willing to forgive and forget by the time Sting was slated to face Seth Rollins at Night Of Champions. In his first WWE World Heavyweight Title match, Sting looked determined to turn in a big performance. Sadly, injury would get in his way, but the content of the bout was completely acceptable. Looking at things another way, Sting deserves a lot of praise for even managing to work against the lightning-quick Rollins in the first place. A slow brawl against Triple H was one thing, but Rollins requires opponents who can keep pace with him. Sting managed that, despite his injury woes. It's highly likely that WWE officials were pleased with the legend's performance, because he clearly gave everything he had. At 56 years of age, that's a tough thing to do. Sting may have opened some eyes in the company at Night Of Champions, because he was able to work around his limitations, at least up until he got hurt.
