The ICON & AEW Tag Team Champion Sting’s FINAL AEW Dynamite! | 2/28/24, AEW Dynamite

[@godson30032]

You couldn’t let this be Sting’s last TV appearance on TBS if he didn’t come down from the rafters. The crow era Sting will be one of my favorite times.

Crow, nWo Wolfpack and joker/him with Darby are my favorites Any version of sting is awesome

[@brentsmith9134]

Stings whole run in AEW has been tasteful and perfect. This is how you book a legend, it's never felt like he's taken a spot from a younger guy but instead feels like he's been a part of the roster the whole time

[@CodeBleu724]

I was 16 years old in 1988 when I first saw Sting in NWA/WCW on WTBS. He beat Ric Flair for the title a month after I graduated high school in 1990. Great American Bash in Baltimore July 7. Followed him through his entire career. To see Sting come out of the rafters for his last Dynamite was a fitting end for him on TV. I'm about to be 52 and to see Sting still performing at a high level, never aging, and quitting while he still "got it" is the perfect end. God Bless Steve Borden. God Bless STING!

Tony Khan usually gets the music rights associated with the wrestler if he's able to, maybe Metallica's 'Seek and Destroy' got too expensive since the last time Sting used it

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@RyanJohnson-ed5hv]

Exact same here. I first saw an article on Sting in PWI magazine in 1990. I thought he was really cool. Like a NWA/WCW version of the Ultimate Warrior. Then I saw him wrestle on TV on Saturday Morning and noticed that he was a better wrestler than the Ultimate Warrior and fans went absolutely crazy for Sting. I always loved Surfer Sting the best. It's what I grew up with. I'm now 44 and was always a loyal Sting fan and he will always be my favorite wrestler of all time.

[@terryalan4590]

Me too brother , actually since 89, I’m 46 now

[@Hidingfrompeople]

They really executed Sting coming down from the rafters perfectly. There wasn't any focus on the few seconds of Sting getting detached from the cord. I could tell that they really thought that through. Was a cool moment as a fan of Stings for so long.

Same mane I literally had flashbacks and cried it was quite therapeutic. Didn't think it would hit me like that but as soon as he came down and the crowd went nuts I was a lil kid again staring at the box tv watching sting wit my dad in the 90s i was there again.

[@staynez]

Having Flair come down to attack the Bucks was unnecessary. They could have had Sting come down from the rafters after Darby was hit with the EVP trigger. They could have hit his music , the Bucks would be standing by the ropes looking towards the stage , then Sting would come down right to the center of the ring while the Bucks have their backs towards him.

[@Nickphant]

I’m still dying from how ric was fighting back the eye poke 😂😂

[@MysticFox88]

lol. Drops the bat to do an eye poke

[@TheJokesterSCR]

Damn, I was sitting here thinking how awesome it would be if he came down from the rafters one final time but never thought they'd actually do it! I'm so damn sad that this is it for Sting. He deserves to finally settle down, but it truly feels like the end of an era. He has been my favorite since I was 6 years old. Even when I stopped watching wrestling, I'd always keep up with Sting's matches and his career. I became a fan of AEW because he showed up there when I thought he was already done for good. I likely never would have even cared to check the product out and now I'm always watching. I'm also happy to see that half the arena wasn't closed off for this moment and that people still cared enough to show up. Damn, I'm gonna miss this man so much. I hope his last match goes great and he gets the happy ending he deserves. This is starting out to be one hell of a send-off to a legend.

Reading your comment and now I'm crying again.i think my family has like 3 boxes of tissue for me Sunday.

This was awesome. I could do without Flair entirely, but I get why he’s there. I’m gonna be sad watching Sting’s last match Sunday, but I’m happy for him that he’s ending his career on his terms. My favorite of ALL TIME. Thank you Sting! 🦂

[@rossclutterbuck1060]

would've preferred if Flair teased it just a little longer, like maybe going for a low blow on Darby then hitting either of the Bucks instead, or maybe even waiting until Sunday. Beyond that? Perfection as Sting's final spot on TV.
