Sting explains how he wants his career to be remembered
After nearly four decades in the ring, Sting’s legendary career only has one match left.
Sting’s retirement match headlines AEW Revolution in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday (March 3). It will be Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Young Bucks in a tornado tag match for the AEW Tag Team titles.
The New York Post published a story on Saturday about Sting and his upcoming Revolution farewell. In the article, Sting responded to a question about how he wants his career to be remembered:
I’d like to be remembered as Sting the guy who brought it every night. Sting the guy who never really changed. He was just rock solid through and through all the years and he was a man of God.
The 64-year-old Sting also addressed what he hopes fans get out of his retirement match:
I just want wrestling fans to be entertained. I want it to be a night to remember, a night where no one would say, ‘Ah man, it was just kind of sad. You can tell it just kind of passed him by. Well, good thing he’s done now.’
I don’t want that. I want them to go, ‘Oh my god, how does he do that?’ I want them to say, the Bucks, Darby, Sting all of them, that was so entertaining. That’s a night to remember. That’s all I ever cared about.
The Revolution main card airs live starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday. Before the pay-per-view begins, there will be a Zero Hour pre-show airing for free on social media and YouTube. The pre-show starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
