WWF WCW WWE Hulk Hogan, had CHRISMA and only had a few moves. That is NOT great to me sorry to say. Tell you the truth he couldn't give us a story in the ring at all either. That is why "The Stinger, is way better and always will be in the book of WRESTLING FANS today and forever"
I started watching AEW shortly after Sting showed up so I want to go back and see what I missed before then. Ive been watching for like three years now and Sting has been one of the best parts of AEW. Which says a lot cuz AEW puts on incredible shows.
@@Nicolewhite743 a couple of years ago, I would have say the same.... however... Taker has been saying similar comments like cornette, bully, booker etc... They don't hide their hate to AEW and is literally pathetic besides his commets on current hangouts in the locker room and wishing is like the old days is distasteful. I have lost respect for Taker for a while, Sting is the only more respected legend now.
@@Polar_Fighter Because AEW sucks ass! Its not their fault people like you and Meltzer are blind to see AEW is a dumpster fire. If anything I have more respect for Taker for calling it like he sees it, a trash company that insults the business that he dedicated his life to and not sugar coating it or taking a paycheck from the billionaire to give it praise.
He went out his own way, never needed wwe, and I remember JR saying the same thing about Owen Hart, “nobody has a bad thing to say about him.” That’s so true for the stinger
Sting, you were such a huge part of my relationship with my son. I would get him every other weekend, and we would watch the taped episodes of Nitro and Thunder together. His first question he would ask, when I picked him up was,"did Sting come down from the rafters"? My son passed away in 2022. But his spirit and my love for him will be with me as I watch your final match. Thank you for being the vessel that brought joy to my son and I. GOD Bless you, always!
So sorry for your loss. My dad and I were the same way. Lost him in 2020. Would have loved to have watched Sting's last run with him. That last rafter drop brought back all the memories with all the feels.
Sting is the only reason I got into wrestling as a child....now I'm 35 and have passed the love and admiration for Sting and the business to my son....thank you Stinger.
People say sting is "old" but he looks and talks like hes 40 yrs old.. gonna miss you Stinger. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, is admirable and inspiring. Thank you Stinger ❤
Thank you Sting. Not only for the decades of entertainment, but for the stellar example of what an Athlete, A Father, and a Man should be. Wishing you all the best in the future.
You talk about a guy that always did it the right way. As Adam Copeland said, in a cutthroat business, Sting showed you how to do it. Always gave it his all and carried himself with grace which is hard to do in the Wrestling business. He was always my favorite wrestler. When he came down from the rafters in the mid 90's as crow sting the roof almost popped off the arena. It was spectacular. Have a wonderful retirement, you deserve it!!!!!
Though I am of the age to have grown up with Sting, (My first experience with Sting was him kicking my ass over and over in WCW for NES, and hating him for it) I didn't get into wrestling until after WCW folded, and the first match of his I ever saw was that lame one in WWE His run in AEW has shown me why he was so special. People compared him to the Undertaker, and now I get why. Dude was well into his 60s and could still work classic matches consistently. Even now he feels larger than life when he's in character, but behind the scenes seems like the most grounded dude ever. I can't even imagine how good he was in his prime
I grew up in dingy, grim, post-communist Poland in the 80's and 90's and after communism had ended, we got access to cable with some American channels. In '94 or '95, I tuned into a WCW show completely by accident and was completely blown away by the whole spectacle of wrestling... and then I saw the Stinger walk down the ramp with his colorful facepaint and I knew right there and then, that guy is special. We had an annual masquerade ball at school and one time, in 4th or 5th grade, I showed up dressed as Crow Sting, face painted up black and white, wearing my dad's ill-fitting black leather jacket, and yes, baseball bat in hand (imagine how well that went down with all the teachers!). Sting, I don't care what anybody says, to me you are the GOAT!
That’s an awesome story to hear. My family came to America from Poland at the end of the 1800’s. I’ve actually been watching a bit of “prime time wrestling” from Poland lately. Always cool to see how global wrestling is.
That’s an amazing story, thanks for sharing! It’s wild to read through all these comments and see how many people from all walks of life who just love this man so much. It’s so great though! Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Sting, You will never be forgotten. You're a fantastic person and I with you the best in your retirement. God Bless You and Your Family. Sting will be in are hearts forever. Go Sting 2024 :-)
it's crazy watching him as a kid in the late 90s til watching him in my mid 30s. I'm so happy and blessed to have watch him live in person. A very rare inspiration of a wrestler and man. One of my favorites "One of the very rare things in this business, nobody has anything bad to say about Sting" "I know a few" -Sting And I'm pretty sure that comes from jealousy and envy
THANK YOU STING FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO/DID WE WILL MISS YOU THE MYTH THE LEGEND THE MAN WE ALL LOVE STING YOU ARE THE ICON YOU DESERVE THIS GO ENJOY YOUR LIFE . FROM A 90’s KID IM STILL IN AWE OF YOU.
There are 1000s of fans that grew up as a kid with Sting as a hero, like myself. I wasn't a part of your VM but I'll be there live, in person to watch you retire at Revolution. You sir, are THE icon.
I’ve been watching pro wrestling since I was 5. Sting was always my guy. Always. Love the guy. Can’t ever get enough of Sting. He’s my alltime favorite wrestler and there’s nothing changing that. I’ve seen his entire career. 96-98 was amazing. And his TNA career was a standout. I’ll miss the man called sting. Thank you.
Since my favorite wrestler, and I wasn't even born in the '90s! It doesn't matter what era of wrestling Sting was in, he is always been the greatest wrestler of all time! I love you Sting, and I hope you have an amazing retirement.
Im 50 and have watched you my entire life and you are one of if not the greatest professional wrestlers i have gotten the chance to watch on tv every week and i thank you for being a great part of my life .....ty sting c u n heaven my brother
After all these years, growing up in a place called Borden, of course Sting was always my favorite. I'm glad he finally got the proper send-off he deserves. I hope we get to see more of him even if he's not wrestling
It really didn’t start to hit until this last Wednesday seeing Sting come down from the rafters one last time. Being able to relate and connect with Sting from being a little kid in WCW to now and how seemingly nothing has changed, he’s just special. Thank you Stinger
Gave me the chills. My oldest brother put me on Sting as a kid and I always made it a point to see him perform. Definitely will never be another like him.
Damn man... Iv been watching sting wrestle since 96 and he is truly an icon in the wrestling business. Watching him through the Monday night wars. Watching him walk away before coming back as the crow character. Joining the Wolfpack. And even when they tried to turn him heal nobody bought it. Joker sting in tna and his tna run are also very good. We will all miss you stinger!
Sting, you are the epitome of a professional in a business full of grown ass men acting like children. You've never ever disappointed like others, you've never taken your ball and gone home, you are THE ICON that every professional wrestler should try and emulate. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the memories -from a 38 yr old wrestling fan with tears welling up
I feel like as Sting got older we connected more with him as a person than his character although i have always been a fan of the character. Man this has me kinda down to see him retiring but i can't be selfish.
I and my sons met Sting once at a mall. He was so gracious and very humble. The time he took to speak with us is something we will never forget. He is a very special guy. Thanks for all the memories Stinger. 💯👍🙏🦂
Sting will be remembered in my opinion who was a great performer and gave everything he had for US fans for 39 years one of the most Charmitic performers in the wrestling industry fans worldwide are gonna miss this truly legendary hall of famer Thank you Sting for 39 years of Memories
Wow, what a special human being. Really happy that it he lived it the whole time. Well, done brother. Thank you for the memories and for being an inspiration.
I admit that I wasn’t a fan of WCW growing up but there were two guys that somehow became my favorites over there and I grew up to love and respect: Diamond Dallas Page & Sting. Thank you for everything, Sting. I hope you have a happy and fulfilling retirement❤
Stinger! Was at Starrcade 97 and will be there tomorrow night. One of the few of my childhood heroes that remains larger than life. Congratulations on an iconic career.
I met Sting one time in my life. It was up at the wild things. Ballpark. 1 year wrestling was in town. That was the only time I got to Meet him And now this is the hardest part saying Goodbye to a man. What a 35 year career spending decades. There's only 1 legend 1 icon. His name is Sting. I followed you since WCW right into the WWE and then AEW And how fitting is this the pay-per-view you started? Your are, it's now gonna be what you have. Your final match at the same pay-per-view that you started your career. And in a building where history is ridden all over the place, the Greensboro Colisium... " LONG LIVE THE STINGER".
The mere fact that this man retired in his terms, without serious loss of in ring (or out of ring) performance, doing his movements with mobility, with stride in his steps, is a testament to how much of an ICON he is. Steve, your sons were with you in the ring. You spent many nights away from your three kids (he has a daughter too) entertaining all of us. They likely have kids of their own now. You deserve to enjoy life as a father and, likely, grandfather, tell your grandkids about the day you went in as the joker/crow and the kids went in as wolfpack crow and surfer. Thanks for an amazing ending to a storybook career. Despite the fact that you had much of your career aired by TNT and TBS, your journey will always be Showtime.
As of right now it’s the eve before Sting’s last match and man you’ve tore it up for many a decade. Seeing you drop down from the rafters one last time sent chills of excitement. Happy trails, Stinger!
In the UK when I was in primary school, around 8 years old, I used to watch him on WCW on a Saturday with my friends. He was our favourite WCW wrestler. Mid-90s on TNT in the UK, it would show Nitro on a Friday evening. I have some absolute cherished memories with my father watching Sting wrestle. Fast forward to now and I can't believe he's still going. Outside of wrestling you can see that he lives clean and is a family man. Nice guys can make it! It's all about the effort. Honestly, I couldn't believe he was still wrestling but it's an incredible accomplishment. As a man, he has my respect, what a great role model for wrestlers and kids alike. All the best to the Stinger, what a legacy!
Steve Borden (Sting) you are my first hero of my childhood and here I am at 37 years old and I will still continue to consider you one of my favorite heroes. Thank you because through you I knew how to appreciate Wrestling. You had great fights and created great stories for me, you will always be in the top 5 best wrestler in history you are the goat, enjoy your retirement you deserve and thanks again Sting the icon, the man, the myth, the legend, a great man say goodbye to wrestling the fans always remember you
Haven’t been into wrestling since about 2001 (started early 90s) but thankfully got to a half dozen or so Nitros & Raws. Such a treasure having got to see him and so many legends in the late 90s!
So happy that AEW is around to give Sting this monumental moment in wrestling history. Huge thanks to TK, Sting, Darby and the Bucks for an incredible ending to the career of the Stinger. I genuinely felt like a kid again and at 38 years old, that doesn't happen often anymore. ❤️❤️❤️
Became a fan when I was 6 years old in 1988 because the face paint was so cool, 36 years later still a fan with the utmost respect for what Sting's done for the industry, as a person, and as a father! We will miss you Stinger!! One of the four faces on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling!
You are truly, a ICON!!! Your the Greatest and sense 87 or 88. I've watched you be the BEST. Stay safe Sting. Enjoy your life and stay safe please!!!!!!
Sting is one of the wrestling pillars of greatness. A loyal person to wcw until the end, a loyal person to TNA until the whole miss management fiasco, and is a wrestler that every other wrestler looks up to. There will never be another wrestler like the icon sting. Thank you for being a part of my childhood, always known as the anti-hero, the man in the dark that stood up to evil. That meant so much growing up when us kids thought it was all real. Forever a GOAT, THE ICON STING ❤
The last of my childhood is retiring. It's STING! I love every great memory I have of watching him as surfer sting and the transition to crow sting. I was sting for Halloween. I love you Sting and you will never be forgotten!
Fighting through tears watching this and listening to all the people you’ve touched through the years and Sting 🦂 I guarantee you that you have touched this man cause I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw you and have seen you live on several occasions and there will never be another Sting and I wish you all the best in retirement ❤
The Keanu Reeves of wrestling! Nothing but respect and well earned!
Facts😂
Keunu Reeves is the Sting of Hollywood! Both are legends! No hate :)
Whoa
Good comparison in terms of people universally loved
Facts
As a kid, I was more interested in Sting than i was Hulk Hogan. Sting is the man!
WWF WCW WWE Hulk Hogan, had CHRISMA and only had a few moves. That is NOT great to me sorry to say. Tell you the truth he couldn't give us a story in the ring at all either. That is why "The Stinger, is way better and always will be in the book of WRESTLING FANS today and forever"
man, Sting was screwed hard by Hogan's politics in WCW, and (I think) never said a word about it...
If anyone has missed his AEW run.. you have really missed out on one of the best final runs I have ever seen. Truly an all time great.
I started watching AEW shortly after Sting showed up so I want to go back and see what I missed before then. Ive been watching for like three years now and Sting has been one of the best parts of AEW. Which says a lot cuz AEW puts on incredible shows.
they do indeed your so right and sting has been great for so long will be missed @@BrockAwesome
The most respected wrestler of all time no one is more respectful then this man... Love you Sting
I would have to say Sting and UNdertaker most respected .
shut up
@@Nicolewhite743 a couple of years ago, I would have say the same.... however... Taker has been saying similar comments like cornette, bully, booker etc... They don't hide their hate to AEW and is literally pathetic besides his commets on current hangouts in the locker room and wishing is like the old days is distasteful. I have lost respect for Taker for a while, Sting is the only more respected legend now.
@@Polar_Fighter Well said! I vastly prefer Sting!
@@Polar_Fighter Because AEW sucks ass! Its not their fault people like you and Meltzer are blind to see AEW is a dumpster fire.

What a legend... The word "hero" is a heavy word, but Sting earned it in my world.
Sting is one of a few guys in wrestling NOBODY has anything bad to say about. That speaks volumes
Incredible amount.
but only because sting always said "yes i'll do it" to everything that came across, doesn't matter how right or wrong it was. so...
He went out his own way, never needed wwe, and I remember JR saying the same thing about Owen Hart, “nobody has a bad thing to say about him.” That’s so true for the stinger
A wild Vampiro appears.
except Vampiro, Xpac and I think Raven
I'm not crying. You're crying.
And that's okay.
It's Sting.

I'm very sorry for your loss, brother
Sting absolutely deserves all the praise he so rightfully receives. He's earned it.
Who's cutting the damn onions!? 🥺😭 Thank you Sting, Happy Retirement - You'll be sorely missed! 🦂🤍
Sting was my first hero back in the 80's. Absolute legend! Love The Stinger!! Glad your here in 2024!!!
Sting is a big reason why I got hooked into watching wrestling in the 90s.
Sting is the only reason I got into wrestling as a child....now I'm 35 and have passed the love and admiration for Sting and the business to my son....thank you Stinger.
You want to know what's crazy? Old School wrestling fans are probably saying, "I thought Sting been retired!"
People say sting is "old" but he looks and talks like hes 40 yrs old.. gonna miss you Stinger. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, is admirable and inspiring.
Thank you Stinger ❤
Yepp
He sounds the same as he did in the 90s.
Thank you Sting. Not only for the decades of entertainment, but for the stellar example of what an Athlete, A Father, and a Man should be.
Wishing you all the best in the future.
💯 👏🏼👌🏼🥹

Enough to make a grown man cry 😢.The end of an era.Thank you Stinger.🦂
I love you Sting!! I grew up watching you. Thank you for all the wonderful memories ❤
My GOAT!!! Thank you Sting!!! I haven’t had an easy life, watching Sting has given me good memories and escape my real life.
Sting saying he doesn’t really deserve this shows the class of the man
Undisputed legend & a great honourable man.
The man is just class..

One of the best to ever do it in the ring, and, by all accounts, a solid human outside of the ring, too.
I'm balling my eyes out right now. I watched Steve from his beginning all the way to his end. ❤❤ sting. Thank you.

Thanks for all the great memories Sting over the last few decades. You ARE The Icon.
Undertaker and Sting ...
The Evil looking Good Guys we never thought we deserve in this industry ...
#ThankYouStinger
I hope they can have something together, a podcast interview, stuff like that. It would be great to see Mark and Steven together in a given space

After all these years, growing up in a place called Borden, of course Sting was always my favorite. I'm glad he finally got the proper send-off he deserves. I hope we get to see more of him even if he's not wrestling
This just shows how much of an impact he’s had on people’s life’s. Long live Sting! Long live Stinger! Congratulations on your success and retirement!

Words fall short to describe the importance you hold to those of us that grew up watching you. I'll simply say...THANK YOU Sting.
He has been in my life his whole career. Class Act.
Gave me the chills. My oldest brother put me on Sting as a kid and I always made it a point to see him perform. Definitely will never be another like him.

I met Sting one time in my life. It was up at the wild things. Ballpark. 1 year wrestling was in town.

Love you Sting! Thanks for all the memories!
its incredible how his face looks the same
Thank you, Sting! You have made being a wrestling fan an amazing experience!
My first FAVORITE wrestler. Thank you, Sting.
For everything. 🙏
this warmed my heart and made me feel sad at the same time
From childhood to adulthood *Thank you STING* for the wonderful memories
THE ICON!
So happy for this man that he is getting his flowers and is going his way❤
The mere fact that this man retired in his terms, without serious loss of in ring (or out of ring) performance, doing his movements with mobility, with stride in his steps, is a testament to how much of an ICON he is.
Steve, your sons were with you in the ring. You spent many nights away from your three kids (he has a daughter too) entertaining all of us. They likely have kids of their own now. You deserve to enjoy life as a father and, likely, grandfather, tell your grandkids about the day you went in as the joker/crow and the kids went in as wolfpack crow and surfer.
Thanks for an amazing ending to a storybook career. Despite the fact that you had much of your career aired by TNT and TBS, your journey will always be Showtime.
As of right now it’s the eve before Sting’s last match and man you’ve tore it up for many a decade. Seeing you drop down from the rafters one last time sent chills of excitement. Happy trails, Stinger!

One of the most beloved and respected to ever lace up a pair of boots. Stinger, you're a GOAT.
😢 I held it together until the end. Waw that was so nice! Sting is and forever will be amazing
So happy that AEW is around to give Sting this monumental moment in wrestling history. Huge thanks to TK, Sting, Darby and the Bucks for an incredible ending to the career of the Stinger. I genuinely felt like a kid again and at 38 years old, that doesn't happen often anymore. ❤️❤️❤️
KUDOS TO THE PRODUCERS OF THIS, respect for the legend!!!

Literally still have my sting shirt from when I was 9 years old in the WCW days. Love you Sting! Nobody better. ❤
Became a fan when I was 6 years old in 1988 because the face paint was so cool, 36 years later still a fan with the utmost respect for what Sting's done for the industry, as a person, and as a father! We will miss you Stinger!! One of the four faces on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling!

Congratulations 🎊 On A Legendary Career Sting #Salute #Icon
Sting is one of the wrestling pillars of greatness. A loyal person to wcw until the end, a loyal person to TNA until the whole miss management fiasco, and is a wrestler that every other wrestler looks up to. There will never be another wrestler like the icon sting.
Thank you for being a part of my childhood, always known as the anti-hero, the man in the dark that stood up to evil. That meant so much growing up when us kids thought it was all real.
Forever a GOAT, THE ICON STING ❤
The last of my childhood is retiring. It's STING! I love every great memory I have of watching him as surfer sting and the transition to crow sting. I was sting for Halloween. I love you Sting and you will never be forgotten!
Fighting through tears watching this and listening to all the people you’ve touched through the years and Sting 🦂 I guarantee you that you have touched this man cause I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw you and have seen you live on several occasions and there will never be another Sting and I wish you all the best in retirement ❤
