Sting deserved the best retirement and I'm glad he's getting it especially after how WWE treated him

I made this in grade school, it has seen better days, I should try to get the crud off if possible, maybe redo it on acrylic. I have four stretched canvases sitting around maybe I should use them...

I have always loved Sting. I started watching WWF in 1990 and immediately became obsessed and very quickly found that the video store also had something called WCW! The Flair/Steamboat/Funk storyline on vhs got me to find WCW on tv and there was loving Sting. He owned and while I never could get into Hogan or any of the other kid-pandering stars I was absolutely a little Stinger. He and Bret were absolutely my childhood wrestling heroes. And after I finally dropped off of being a wrestling fan as an adult after years of terrible WWE programming, only a year or so later I heard that Sting had returned and I looked for the clip on youtube and loving Tony Schiavone was somehow back too! And they were in something called AEW which was apparently a real promotion on loving TNT!? I had so dropped off wrestling that I had only vaguely heard of a new promotion and assumed it was just another Global Force/WWA/whatever bullshit. Sting cemented my love for pro wrestling when I was 10 and again when I was 40. loving legend.

I wasn't a kid who watched wrestling in the 80's and my early 90's was all WWF. My first real introduction to the Man called Sting was when I started watching Nitro in 1996 when the NWO started. I wasn't really much into Sting at first, but the goddamn year he spent in the rafters, the cool rear end Crow facepaint, I started to get into him. I thought Wolfpac Sting was cool and I was happy for Sting to get to wrestle Flair on the final Nitro. Then I really didn't think about Sting again for a long time. I was a very LolTNA guy so I never really got into TNA and I was under the impression that Sting was old and washed. I liked his brief stint in WWE even though I was really annoyed he didn't get a Mania match vs Taker, and then he had his match with Seth and I felt like that was the end of Sting. When Sting first came to AEW I was REALLY critical of the decision. At the time AEW just had Dynamite as it's main show, it was already a challenge to get everyone on the show and I was like "Goddamn they do NOT need old washed up Sting hogging the screen!" Boy I couldn't have been more wrong. I've really enjoyed Stings run in AEW and this is coming from someone who was not a Sting fan at all. I have really loved the "Sting was supposed to make Darby less crazy and instead Darby made Sting more crazy" storyline. All his matches have been great. He knows his limitations and really works around them well. His run in AEW has made me a fan and has made me so sad that this is the end of the road tonight.

Shard posted:Sting deserved the best retirement and I'm glad he's getting it especially after how WWE treated him The number of fedbrained idiots I've seen in the last few days insisting he timed this now so he could go finish out 'for real' at Wrestlemania has done me a moral injury. That said, another point of how much Sting owns: getting his boys to come out as his old gimmicks for his last entrance. Owns owns owns.

This comparison may just be because of his recent death, but Sting's AEW run really reminds me of Terry Funk's long middle aged and crazy period. Mostly in the sense that he still really knew what the crowd enjoyed but he also acknowledged that he couldn't just repeat the same routine he did in his prime. Thus, falling back on cool hardcore spots that automatically become cooler when a weird old man does them. They're both just really good examples of aging gracefully in wrestling, even if in-character they involve yelling about how you're old but you aren't done yet. (Sting's AEW career is now in the past tense, and that feels really weird.)

Vs Vader, Starrcade 92 Vs Vader, Strap match Superbrawl Vs Flair Clash of the Champions Vs DDP Nitro '99 with Luger vs Steiners, Superbrawl War Games 91 War Games 92 There aren't a ton of classics but those are all excellent.

Sting had a cool match with Cactus Jack back in the day. I haven’t watched it in 20 years but it’s probably still a cool match! I dunno!

His series with Muta in 89-90 was excellent as well. So far ahead of its time in terms of American wrestling.

His matches in late wcw were never really allowed to be great unless the upper office didn't mind a clean finish. His match with DDP is pretty great. I also liked his match in TNA vs Jarrett. And he had a lot of great matches in Japan in the 90s.
