Tony Khan praises Sting's AEW run

[Chris]

Tony Khan says one of the greatest things AEW has ever done is bringing Sting out of retirement.

Sting's career was thought to be over nearly eight years ago after suffering a neck injury at Night of Champions 2015 in a match with Seth Rollins. He later debuted for AEW at Winter is Coming 2020 and wrestled his first match for the company in March 2021. Since then, he's gone 17-0 in AEW, all in tag team matches.

"When you talk about some of the biggest names in pro-wrestling, for me, it starts and ends with Sting," Khan told Chase McCabe recently. "He's one of the all-time legends, he's one of my all-time favorites."

"Sting is still a huge part of AEW. One of the greatest things we've accomplished is bringing Sting out of retirement. He is still wrestling to this day. He is undefeated in AEW, in fact, and is on the greatest run of his career right now here in AEW," Khan continued.

Up next for Sting is All In on Sunday from London's Wembley Stadium. He is scheduled to team with Darby Allin against AR Fox and Swerve Strickland in a coffin match on the show. As Sting did not participate in 1995's Collision in Korea event with other WCW wrestlers, All In will be the largest crowd he has ever performed in front of, beating out even WrestleMania 31 in San Fransisco.

Greatest run of all time is a bit strong but promoter gonna promote. People forget he had a lot of trash after his Starrcade main event versus Hogan

 

[Spider DKR]

After all these years it's incredible to know this will be the largest crowd he's performed for.


Gotta be a talking point to make on commentary.

Eric Bischoff would say Sting's WCW run was his best.
Dixie Carter would say Sting's TNA run was his best.
Hell, even Triple H would say.....nah probably not.

WCW Sting was hot, but they kept fucking around when it was his time to be the number one.

AEW Sting has his old ass doing stage dives and stumbling around trying to catch his breath.
