Hulk Hogan's return to WWE earlier this year sent shock waves through the business. While it's possible that none of those matches will come to fruition in reality, gamers can make them happen in WWE 2K15. Fans have wanted to see him face the likes of The Undertaker, Triple H, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock and many others over the years. There are plenty of characters worth getting excited about in WWE 2K15, but none of them can possibly top Sting.

In fact, those who preorder WWE 2K15 will have the ability to play as two different iterations of the Stinger.Īs seen in this photo, courtesy of WWE 2K's official Twitter account, both the famed "Crow" Sting as well as the earlier "Surfer" Sting will be part of the game: It remains to be seen what type of relationship Sting will have with WWE aside from this video game, but WWE 2K15 should be more than enough to whet the fans' appetites for now. The painted face, that video-I'm the sort of guy who's really hard to please, but when I saw that video, with the violins playing, it was great. The way the crowd reacted was amazing-and even the younger kids who don't know who I am. One of the interesting things I read about the promo video was that for anybody who thought the generational gap would be not in Sting's favor, well, we can put that to rest.

As told to Grantland's David Shoemaker, even The Icon himself was thrilled with his first foray into the world of WWE:

The promo that WWE and 2K aired was dark, ominous and befitting of the Sting character. It was a significant announcement not only because of Sting's status as a legend, but also because it marks his first true involvement with WWE. As if there wasn't already enough intrigue surrounding WWE 2K15, things reached a fever pitch in July when it was revealed that Sting would be available as a playable character with preorder purchase of the game.
