64-year-old legendary wrestler Sting went all out in his retirement match.
On Sunday night, Sting wrestled his last match despite AEW President Tony Khan pushing for him to stay on for a few more months.
Via PWI Insider
“Tony (Khan) was actually trying to get me to stay longer, maybe retire at Wembley. But it gets tougher and tougher every time you go out there, and you have all of these young guys who are ready to play—there’s only so far you can push it. It’s kind of sad, of course, but, at some point, you just have to do it. There’s a part of me that’s sad, but there’s another part of me that’s relieved. It’s bittersweet, but I’m looking forward to it,”
Despite his age, Sting pulled off several incredible acrobatic stunts, including getting suplexed through a table.
