Sting Says AEW Reminds Him A Lot About WCW

Sting shocked the world when he made his debut in AEW back in December 2020. Since then, he has been featured heavily on AEW television, being paired up with Darby Allin. Sting spent several years in WCW before its closure and now he stated that AEW reminds him a lot about WCW.

Despite being well over 60, Sting has been competing at an unexpectedly high level, and that has certainly impressed fans and pro wrestlers alike. He has also taken part in cinematic matches and various other matches in the past.

That said, fans are aware that Sting will be ending his career next year. While speaking with Sports Illustrated, The Icon talked about joining AEW a few years ago. Sting stated that AEW reminds him a lot about the WCW brand as a whole.

“Tony Khan called me and asked me to go out in style. I liked that idea. I couldn’t say no. The AEW brand reminds me so much of the WCW brand. Tony allowed me to come back and have some fun, and I’m so grateful for that. It’s been a lot of fun.”
