Sting

wrestlemania 31 Sting is 6’3″ and 235 pounds.

He is 56 years old and will be appearing in his first WrestleMania match on Sunday.

Sting has held the WCW World Heavyweight championship 6 times, while Triple H held a world title 13 times in his career, combined with WWE Championships and World Heavyweight Championships.

A sight to be seen. Sting inside of a WWE ring at WrestleMania. I cannot wait, as a pure fan of this industry and its history, to see these two guys in the ring, staring at one another. I wanted to see Triple H get SOME sort of upper hand on Sting, but they did not go that route. Instead, they are going to let the history tell the story.

To expect a classic 20-25 minute match may be reaching and stretching your expectations. This match will always be memorable and the energy from the crowd will make this better than expected. If Sting should fight in the ring with ANYONE, it should be Triple H. The Game is the best operator in the ring, being able to control time, speed, pace and motion more than anyone else. How will this match go down? Sting will ultimately win, but what is next? Will Sting try and take power away from The Authority?

The moment will leave fans in awe. The story after WrestleMania 31 is the biggest question.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
