    It's was nice to do a spot with his sons dressed as Sting. Most wrestlers are like bands. They say we are going to retire and come back every five years like KISS, or CHER. Now that John Cena has announced his retirement 2025 tour. I hope we get to experience the whole John Cena era. Have some of the guys he wrestled wrestle him in varies matches.

    I think Ric Flair’s WrestleMania send off with Shawn Michaels WOULD HAVE BEEN the greatest send off in wrestling history IF Ric did not tarnish it.
    So, now, I feel that The Undertaker’s Hall of Fame speech is the greatest send off in wrestling history.

    I appreciate Tony Khan for things like this. He has enough money to rival Vince McMahon and to poach some of his talent. With him having all that, it gives him the ability to do right by the wrestlers instead of just doing what is right for his pocket book. Vince fucked over his talent and rode them HARD! He did not care about breaking them down or wearing them out before their years.

    Flair's retirement match with one of The Rockers was total crap. If Shawn was blubbering in the ring because he didn't want to do his kick, then why even agree to have a match with the old drunk in the first place? Brock Lesnar should have been the one to retire Flair in a one-sided squash match. Maybe then I would feel some sort of emotion for Flair.

    It wasn't a send off. It was an indy outlaw garbage match with that idiot Darby going through glass and glass shattering into the crowd to boot. It was the worst send off you can possibly do for a guy like Sting. How about..have a straight wrestling match, a proper tag team match. No glass. No bullshit. No gimmicks. Just a regular tag match. But of course they dont know how to book or get people over without resorting to gimmicks because Tony is terrible at everything he does. Yeah, some sendoff.

    Sting's final match should've been with one guy... like MJF, not only would Sting have a stellar match with a real top player like MJF... but, it could've elevated MJF as the guy in AEW by having that match with an Icon like Sting. Instead, they had a throwaway tag match with a couple flunky jobbers in The Bucks! Not much of a sendoff AEW dropped the ball on this one...!

    • @budafuka
      @budafuka Před 18 dny

      Pretty sure the reason Sting was in anything goes tag team matches near the end was because he couldn't go anymore. And while I agree the actual match was trash with a garbage glory stealing spot, the actual speech and send off with his kids was heartwarming. Despite the cutoff.

Four, AEW mismanaged their time (again) so Sting's post-match promo got cut off.
