There have been a whole lot of nice moments in All Elite Wrestling over the previous 5 years, however one factor specifically stands out to Tony Khan greater than the rest.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan not too long ago sat down with Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report. When requested about Sting‘s retirement earlier this 12 months at AEW Revolution, Khan known as it the best factor they’ve completed in AEW thus far.
“The best factor we’ve ever completed in AEW, for my part, is the retirement of Sting and the way in which we dealt with Sting’s remaining years as a professional wrestler,” Tony Khan stated. “He had one of many biggest careers ever in wrestling and when he arrived in AEW, he didn’t really feel that his prior run had been what he was on the lookout for.
“When he had beforehand competed in WWE, I don’t assume he had an amazing expertise with WWE. He was trying to do one thing very completely different. After I first talked to Sting, he was serious about having a comeback, however I don’t assume Steve [Borden] ever imagined it will result in a three-year run in wrestling that will change into legendary. It’s an immortal collection of matches.
Sting was undefeated in All Elite Wrestling
“Sting was undefeated in his arrival, teaming with Darby Allin in each match. The 2 of them got here collectively to be probably the most profitable workforce within the historical past of AEW. That they had a few of our greatest matches ever, a few of our greatest moments, and it constructed to them turning into the AEW world tag workforce champions. Sting’s remaining match, Sting and Darby vs. The Younger Bucks at AEW Revolution, was, for my part, the best sendoff ever in professional wrestling. Sting deserves that as a result of he’s one of many biggest wrestlers ever, and we had been very fortunate to have him in AEW.”
