In less than a month, Steve "Sting" Borden will finally step in a WWE ring and take on Triple H at WrestleMania 31 at Levi's Stadium in California.

As a way to hype up "The Vigilante's" first WWE match, the company has an article up on WWE.com that features his former WCW peers and current WWE personalities The Big Show and Booker T sharing their thoughts on the former WCW and TNA icon.
Before Sting stares across the ring from Triple H on March 29, the WWE is looking to hype him up after finally acquiring him after years of back-and-forth between the two camps.

Big Show talked about the heroic side of Sting during the war between WCW and the nWo.
"To fight evil, sometimes you have to become evil," Big Show told the site. "That was a brilliant move to embrace that darker side. You still knew the good Sting was there, the guy you grew up with and cheered for, the guy with the big smile. But you saw this other guy that had all this anger toward the nWo; he really exemplified a character that, in a superhero kind of way, could stand up at the plate and take everyone on by himself. A lone wolf kind of deal."
Booker T talked about the mystical side of the Sting character and the upcoming match with Triple H.
"He's an enigma. He's mysterious and lurked in the shadows for many, many years," Booker T said. "It's an aura that draws you to him. Guys like that, they're one of a kind. People have wanted to see him here in WWE for many years. I think people are intrigued by him. I think Triple H knows what he's in store for. He's conquered the business, putting himself in power as COO of a money-making company. That right there says a lot about his drive and determination. I don't think he's going to underestimate Sting. It's going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. However, I know since 1998, when DX invaded Nitro, Sting has wanted to get even. WrestleMania's going to be a war."
Sting first appeared on WWE television at the Survivor Series and helped Dolph Ziggler defeat Seth Rollins in the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match.
He then made an appearance on Monday Night RAW earlier this year to distract Rollins and enable Cena to roll him up and win a handicap match against "Mr. Money in the Bank," Big Show and Kane.
The win for Cena earned Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan their jobs back, drawing the ire of Triple H.
"The Game" called "The Vigilante" out to appear at Fastlane last month and the two had a physical and verbal altercation, setting up their WrestleMania 31 bout.
For the first time ever, Sting will enter a WWE ring for a match -- which could prove to be the final match of his career - at WrestleMania 31.
