Love Sting. Never in a million years did I think he'd in the ring wrestling again and actually look good doing it, but it warms my heart.

Sting was about 10 feet away from my husband and I, in 2017. He "wooed" my husband. We're being subpoenaed by Ric Flair, next week.
Sting is awesome, though.

He’s just the coolest and it’s wonderful he’s still getting to write his story. When it’s all said and done Sting will have had one of the most insane careers ever, period.

It seemed so unthinkable that Sting could even be back, let alone having matches that weren't precarious wincefests at the thought of him taking a bump. This run he's having has been a joy to behold. He's energized and giving the rub to younger stars, and when things actually get "important" he's often a supporting player for Darby, but he looks like he's having an absolute f***ing blast doing it.

After his run in WWE and the last few years of his TNA stuff, I'm just glad to see Sting being treated well and having a blast. He's also made a huge positive contribution to AEW and justified his position beyond pure nostalgia, I think.

In my opinion Sting’s WWE “run” is the single worst and most disappointing run that anyone has ever had in the history of wrestling. Him versus HHH is the only match I’ve ever seen that I would genuinely rate negative 5 stars. I can’t even quantify how much I detested that match properly.
It’s just so, so great that he’s getting this last run to go out on his own terms, and even in his early sixties is looking awesome doing it. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of AEW.

My man has taken powerbombs and jumping off the ramp onto a table. He’s such a goat.
Not surprising though. He was one of the few in the beginning that didn’t mind going all over the arena with Cactus Jack. Had some of the stiffest matches with Vader (their strap match is brutal). Didn’t even mind mixing it up with Abdullah the Butcher (it was both great and hilarious). Guy ain’t never been too scared of much.
And soooo happy that WWE junk isn’t going to be his final chapter.

Sting and Darby in all their gear and facepaint on the highway makes me so happy

Sting is the best, loving his run since he started wrestling again.

I will never forget when Sting was initially signed and how everyone was just like "He's just gonna be a mascot, he'll never take a bump" to the juxtaposition of him taking the powerbomb from Cage and how everyone just freaked the f*** out lol
Sting came to be a player, and he's playing hard and I really appreciate him for it. Same for Christian, who everyone thought would "take it easy" and he was doing like top rope dives to the outside immediately lol. I really appreciate that the vets know they gotta bring it for AEW, and they want to make this a run as memorable as any other company they've been in.

Sting's run in AEW has gone roughly a million times better than I expceted it to be.

I love that Sting and Darby are just running around in their facepaint 24/7.

Sting just living his best life and clearly having so much fun is just a heartwarming thing to see.

Interesting fact but in almost one year, Sting wrestle more matches then Brock Lesnar has in the last 3 years.

Well, it's because Sting couldn't take a proper back bump...oh wait, that was DDP.

I remember wincing hard when Sting took the powerbomb from Brian Cage.....
now, over a year later, he's still wrestling at a high level

Dude has been apart of some amazing stuff and some insane pure wrestlecrap. I mean there's peaks and valleys but looking at Sting's catalog, it's pure madness.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that Sting can still go at this level these days. Seeing him at Grand Slam in-person, you can tell he's definitely having to give everything he's got to be in the right spots these days, but it's pretty incredible. I would assume we've got like 6 months to a year left of him doing this given he'd be 64 if he retired after next March. I don't see him going much longer than that but I'm so glad he's been able to go out his way.
