History Awesome / STing

* Ignoring the outcome, just seeing Sting at Wrestlemania was one for a lot of older fans. It was an image that belonged solely in the realms of fantasy booking and missed opportunities, and yet at Wrestlemania 31 it finally happened. Despite the shitty ending, it was easily the best match Sting has had in years.

* Sting is being WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.

* WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.

* ''Victory Road 2011''. While the situation in itself was stupid, you got to admire Sting for being so professional and not taking the chance to beat the utter ''crap'' out of Wrestling/JeffHardy for arriving to a PPV he was main eventing absolutely stoned. Instead, he just gave him a few stiff shots before forcibly pinning him to the canvas so he couldn't injure anyone.

* Sting wrestling on the 9/14/15 edition of RAW, his first non-PPV match since he left TNA. Nothing spectacular [[note]]He wrestled Big Show and Rollins in a tag match with Cena[[/note]], and it was an obvious ratings grab (Football season had started that day), but it was awesome to see simply because Sting has been working a part-time schedule and few expected him to ever wrestle on RAW.

* On the RAW before WrestleMania 31, Sting cut a promo against Triple H. When Stephanie McMahon interrupted, Sting called her out on her shit, calling her a "spoiled little brat" that got everything handed to her. That's not the awesome part. The awesome part was when he caught Stephanie's attempted bitch slap. The horror on her face sold it perfectly.

* Sting destroying Rollins' statue on the 8/7/15 episode of RAW by pushing it into a garbage truck, which was then compacted. Cue Seth throwing a temper tantrum.

* Sting's return on 8/24/15, interrupting Wrestling/SethRollins' honor (by hiding in his statue case) and beating the holy dog shit out of him. The best part, Sting vs. Rollins at Night of Champions! For the fucking WWE World Heavyweight title!

* The March 16, 2015 edition of RAW saw him teaming up with Wrestling/RandyOrton to beat down the Authority. Baseball Bat attacks followed by a Stinger Splash to J&J then a Scorpion Death Drop to Jamie Noble. He also appeared much leaner, his hair had grown out slightly and his thinning hair was almost unnoticeable. He then cut his first official WWE promo after RAW went off the air on the WWE Network[[note]]See TheOtherDarrin on the Trivia page[[/note]].

* Sting's announcement trailer for the WWE 2K15 video game deserves a mention here. Fans understandably booed the aftermath of the trailer (they reasonably presumed the video was Sting's debut trailer, not a video game pitch), but the actual video itself received a rousing response initially, and with good reason. It's well-shot and crafted, and make the Stinger look like more than a wrestler; he damn near looks like a crime fighting superhero going through his pre-head-busting nightly ritual. Given his eventual WWE designation as "the vigilante," the video more than fits.

* On the February 9, 2015 edition of ''Raw,'' Wrestling/TripleH called out Sting, saying that he wanted to face Sting at Fast Lane. When Trips was done, the lights turned off, and after teasing the audience a little (including a fake Sting to scare Trips!), he sent out one sentence; ''"Triple H,'' '''''I accept.'''''" Cue the ''entire arena'' going bezerk.

* Even though it was basically a [[SquashMatch squash]], at ''[=WrestleWar=] 89'' he defeated Wrestling/TheIronSheik by ''submission,'' something very few wrestlers have ever done.
