Ignoring that the hangman thing tonight was timed oddly, he should have known better than to pretend he had a foot injury while being able to get a boot on. That's just ridiculous.

this glorious monument

I'm imagining what Sting said to Darby (in kayfabe).

Sting: So you come down alone, the Bucks beat the poo poo out of you right?
Darby: Ok I'm in so far.
Sting: Then my big Titantron comes up when they're done beating the poo poo out of you. They'll rush up the ramp to intercept me but I'll COME DOWN BEHIND THEM FROM THE ROOF IN A HARNESS!
Darby: You had me up until 'In a harness' but we'll agree to disagree.

Or what Sting said to Tony to convince him to let him do it.

Tony; Sting. I know it's been 25 years but people still remember the whole...
Sting: It'll be super safe. I did it a bunch of times and it was fine because my boss wasn't actively trying to murder me. Seriously did you ever go over the details of that lawsuit?

And speaking of foot injuries: the story of Adam Cole's career.

Doctor: Adam. You have a broken ankle.
Adam: And how many weeks will that set me back?
Doctor: 8 months.
Adam: (holding back tears)...I said weeks
Doctor: I'm sorry Adam. Approximately 34 weeks.

That was a great episode and Sting coming down from the rafters is one of the greatest things they’ve ever done. Amazing visual and what a cool way to bring things full circle. Now I’m super interested in what Sting’s Revolution entrance will look like.

My dad's been watching pro wrestling since the 70s, so he's seen Sting go from a young rookie to the top of the industry.

I've been watching wrestling since the mid 90s, so Sting's always been a big deal even when the rest of the show around him was complete poo poo.

My wife's only really been a wrestling fan since AEW started, so Sting's this legendary mentor figure that does crazy poo poo with his best friend, Darby.

All three of us will be watching Sunday, we'll probably get a little choked up when Sting officially retires. And all 3 of us marked out like crazy last night.

Next week, in partnership with Warner Brothers Discovery, to support the release of Dune: Part Two, it will be “Big” Dave Batista entering into the Meat Madness match which has been leveled up to the Spice Madness match in AEW and we are so excited for the release of Dune: Part Two, and we can’t wait for next week when the Meat Madness match is leveled up to the Spice Madness match in AEW.

I hate being a loving buzzkill, but I really hope TK cleared the rafters spot with Owen Hart's family first because I haven't seen Sting do that spot since Owen's death. I know it's Sting's retirement weekend, but I feel kinda iffy about that spot.

I don't know how much you know about the differences between the two instances. Sting and WCW used a full stunt crew. If you go back and watch you can see he is harnesed to hell and takes a long time to get out of the harness sometimes. On the flip side Vince decided to go with a quick release for Owen because he wanted to do a stunt where he got stuck and then fell the rest of the way to the ring because it would be funny. Quick releases are not made to do that especially from that height. Vince threatened to fire Owen if he didn't do it the way he wanted and caused his death from extreme negligence.

From what I know of Sting in WCW and what it looked like last night, Sting was never in the same kind of danger because he didn't work for a murderer.

Sting has done it since Owen died, he did it in TNA. It's completely safe if you aren't cutting corners and putting a man's life at risk like Vince McMahon did.

I feel pretty confident that Tony paid the extra two hundred bucks for the harness meant for humans and not boats.

wcw always did it much safer with several redundant harnesses (if you rewatch you can see sting taking forever undoing them all before he can start brawling). Owen was connected in one place with something that want even meant to support his weight.

Wrestling isn't the only performance art where those get used. WWE just did it as cheaply and negligently as possible.

I watched that stream live :allears: I wasn't a regular stream watcher in general but I was big in a community that loved to break the WWE games into tiny pieces and just happened to jump in on that broadcast just before it happened. It cannot be overstated how funny it all was in the moment.

I mean it's still fine if you personally find it uncomfortable to watch, but it's not a high-risk stunt under normal circumstances where the decision makers value the lives of their performers. There's a lot of details about the owen incident out there from the investigation that was done, and red flags were all over the place.

I know you were asking this in good faith but I'm reminded of when the drones were feigning concern over how Martha felt when Darby did a Swanton Bomb off a ladder on Jeff Hardy during the Owen Hart Cup.
