Gimmick Some (Wrestlemania) Lovin': Sting is Back
In each edition of Gimmick Some Lovin', we take a look at one iteration of a gimmick match available on the WWE Network. Some are iconic for their success, others for the extent to which they flopped, and some just... happened.
We defined a "gimmick match" as, in any way, adding a rule/stipulation to or removing a rule from a match, changing the physical environment of a match, changing the conditions which define a "win", or in any way moving past the simple requirement of two men/women/teams whose contest must end via a single pinfall, submission, count out, or disqualification.
Apologies for the extended break in gimmick love; this author has a day job which is particularly busy and stressful from the beginning of December through February (then possibly again after WrestleMania season), which enforced an unplanned hiatus.
In this article, we take a look at Pro Wrestling Illustrated's 2014 "Comeback of the Year" recipient Sting, in his first match ever in a WWE ring, and first match since January of 2014, when The Vigilante faced WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H in a No Disqualification Match at Wrestlemania Play Button 31 in 2015.
