Say what you will about AEW, I love it, but even the critics have to admit, they gave Sting respect he deserved and let him finish his career with dignity unlike WWE’s treatment of this legend.

To me, this was the best intro, best debut of a wrestler of all time. Everything was executed perfectly. This is how you do it.

I do not care how old Steve Borden is. He is still the Stinger I grew up with many years ago. One of the only wrestlers from his era to still excite the crowd just from his walk out. A legend.

Most unexpected debut still. Never thought I’d see Sting in AEW. His run as been pure fan service, and it’s great.

Sting and The Undertaker are the two icons that I’ll always mark out for, no matter if they aren’t as good in the ring anymore with their age. Just their presence alone is amazing.

just loved the 2's commentary. Both remember Sting quite long before the crow era sting. they called Stings matches when he had the short cut platinum blonde hair in his early years which were pretty memorable 1's at that like his feud with the Dangerous Alliance.

Man, I still get goosebumps from this. The crowd of like 300 due to the pandemic sounded like 10,000 it was awesome. Sting's retirement in 2024 is going to be special. Going out on his own terms!

Looking back theres some good long term storytelling here... Sting comes in and looks at Dustin and Cody, decides he doesn't want them pretty quickly. Then he looks at Darby and is intrigued, checks the "dead" side, but then pauses on the "human" side and takes a closer look. That's the one he wants. And here we are coming up on 3 years later and they're still together and have written quite an incredible story in that time.

The beginning of the last chapter of an incredible story. Thank you, Sting. 🦂

And I remember ALL those RETURNS from WWF(when popular wrestlers were injured, and weeks/months later, they RETURN, and get the absolute LOUDEST POP, from the crowd)....THOSE were the days.......I absolutely feel that here....the MUSIC, the VIDEO Package playing on the BIG SCREEN.....the WAY Sting walks the entrance way...the way he walks to the ring......IT ALL comes together....PERFECTLY...........THIS is a site to behold..........Sting....is 1...of MANY WRESTLING LEGENDS.

Sting terrifies Arn so Arn dips. Then the Monday Night Wars show down. Sting towers over Dustin who also looks afraid because WCW was kicking WWFs backside back when Sting and Dustin worked for their respective companies. So it’s representing the towering WCW giant who’s whipping the poor broken WWF during the Attitude era. Sting crouch’s down to Cody because Cody loved Sting as a little kid and thats how you would interact with a child, down to their level. Then he stand toe to toe with Darby, representing the new era and Darby’s fearlessness to stand up to Sting. Sting checks Darby’s face paint as Sting also paints his face. Darby stands defiantly nose to nose with Sting and Sting then backs away but keeps his eyes locked on Darby for some time, he even has another look at him sizing him up before leaving the ring. This whole thing was a test. Darby passed.

It's funny because he doesn't end up fighting Darby, but rather befriending him and watching his back. Sting looking him eye to eye, nose to nose( whatever you wanna call it) was him looking into Darby's soul to see what kind of fire he has in him, he sees a lot of himself in Darby , so he respects him, and thus wants to stand side by side with him rather then across from him.
