Pro wrestling legend Sting shocked the world when he made his debut in AEW last year in December. Since then he has been featured heavily on AEW television being paired up with Darby Allin.

Sting’s first match in AEW featured him teaming up with Darby Allin and facing off against Ricky Stars and Brian Cage at AEW Revolution in a cinematic street fight match. Their second match together saw them squaring off against Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page at AEW Double Or Nothing.

Despite being well over 60, Sting certainly has been competing at an unexpectedly high level and that has certainly impressed fans and pro wrestlers alike.

While speaking to Brandon F. Walker on Barstool’s Rasslin, Tony Khan talked about working with Sting, stating that it has been very easy to work with him and that he doesn’t know how anyone could screw it up with Sting.

“I believe in having some of the top stars of the present married with some of the great stars of the past, some of whom are still active and great stars of the present, like Sting, who is very much a star of today. I’ll be honest, I don’t know how you could screw it up with Sting. Having worked with Sting now for like seven months, this is the easiest, greatest man I’ve ever known, and he wanted to work and he wasn’t looking for twenty bajillion dollars either. I’m going to be honest with you, he’d be useful to any wrestling company in the world and he wanted to do stuff and he was looking to come. He’s been at TV every week..

Sting hadn’t wrestled a match in many years and came back in this year and he’s had two great matches, two very different kinds and he’s very much proved he’s very much a star of the present.”

Sting will remain one of the mainstays of AEW television for a long time as he will undoubtedly stick with the company for years and end his career in AEW.
