Backstage News on Fan Interest in Sting Wrestling in WWE

According to F4WOnline.com, backstage word in WWE is there is much higher fan interest in Sting heading to WWE following the WWE 2k15 announcement than there was when The Ultimate Warrior was announced for WWE 2k14.

The feeling is Sting is a much more current name than Warrior was at the time, and fans feel more confident that Sting could wrestle a few matches in WWE, whereas Warrior wrestling was an unlikely possibility.
