For over a decade, Sting was considered the biggest name in wrestling to have never wrestled for WWE or at WrestleMania. Then, in 2014, Sting made a shocking debut in WWE and soon entered a feud with Triple H.

However, as you might expect, a match between a 56-year-old Sting and a 45-year-old Triple H wasn’t going to be a spectacle in grappling art. To make up for the fact that this match was going to be slow and ‘methodical’, it became an overbooked mess with run-ins and interference that made it more like a typical RAW segment only on a larger stage.

It was made even worse by the fact that Sting lost in his first WWE match, which brought only further credence to many of WWE’s detractors’ arguments that WWE’s tends to destroy anything that they didn’t themselves create.
