A WWE Hall of Famer says Sting’s last match at AEW Revolution was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and really special.
At AEW Revolution, Sting and Darby Allin defeated The Young Bucks to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships in what was Sting’s final match of his career.
The sendoff for “The Stinger” was memorable and filled with so much emotion as the wrestling world celebrated a legend of the business.
Speaking on My World with Jeff Jarrett, “Double J” shared his thoughts on Sting’s last match. He said:
“Sting’s last match. Very surreal day in so many ways. Don’t even really know where to start….”
“We went downstairs to eat breakfast, and the table over was none other than the man himself, Stinger, with family.”
“They walked over, and we kind of had a brief chat. It was to me one of the most special parts of the day,”
Many legends were in attendance for Sting’s final match, including Ric Flair, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, Diamond Dallas Page and Lex Luger. On seeing so many legends making the wrestling fan come out of him, Jarrett said:
“That was a cool moment. Anyway, it was really, really special. Then obviously, all through the day, Greensboro Coliseum, it’s one of the first big, big coliseums, it’s just gigantic.”
“My god, it was, Ricky Morton always said it best, sold out, hanging from the rafters, but it was. It was jam-packed.”
“With JR in the house and obviously Schiavone in the house, looked around and it was, the wrestling fan in me and so many others, you just couldn’t help it come out of you.”
“Steamboat, Nikita, David Crockett, it was a very, very cool, surreal day, an incredible night of wrestling.”
“I still say, it’s very, very hard to really wrap your head around, that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just because of, he started on TBS, and he got to finish. It is such an incredible full circle with the boys in the ring,”
