The more things change, the more they stay the same. Over 50 years old now, and I'm Still watching Sting and Flair and Schiavone.

[@Write-Stuff]

Yes sir. This is good stuff. While I'm not a fan of the heel appearing to run down the legend (let's be honest, it's so played out), it was great seeing everyone together. I hope TK makes the most of it and does something to celebrate Naitch and Stinger. I'd like to see this made into a program that sees the two of them go out with a bang.

Best part for me is when Sting says "Give me one!" and Ric gives him the chop and they both start cracking up.

[@Somnogenesis]

It was like 15 years dropped off Flair in that moment, too. When he came out he looked noticeably old and frail, though better than in some of his recent appearances. As soon though as he did that "Wooo!", the little bounce into the ropes and a tiny strut, then starting joshing with Sting and gave him that chop for old time's sake, you could see he just came alive again. Then for the whole segment with Christian he was grinning with the joy of it all. The man simply loves being in that ring more than anything.

I'm not really either, though if I see a match or story that interests me, I'll watch it.

The look of realization in stings face when ric came out gives me a very pure sense of joy. God bless both of them.

Ric Flair on a TBS wrestling show for the first time in over 20 years. With Sting and Schiavone. And his embrace with Stinger made me think back to their embrace after the final WCW match back in March of 2001. I was 13 then and I'm 35 now. Time flies and my god did this segment get me in the feels.

The fact Christian still holds his presence in line with everyone during this promo segment and doesn’t get overshadowed by Sting and Rick in the ring shows how truly great he is ( just personally wish he’d get new theme, personally feel that music has no impact)

I won’t pretend like I’m freaking out about Ric Flair being in AEW but damn it, I gotta admit it’s nice to see them together during this last stand of Sting’s career with all the history between them.

[@naheemquattlebaum2267]

My thoughts exactly. Sting deserves all the flowers.

[@craig581]

It was a nice touch for have Flair out there for Sting. It might not mean much to the fans, but to Sting, you could tell he was very emotional to see Ric come out.

That’s fantastic. I grew up watching the Nature Boy Ric Flair battling Dusty Rhoads, Harley Race, Tommy Rich, and later, Sting. Flair was my favorite for a long time, only getting supplanted in that number one spot by Sting himself. Throw in Tony Schiavone and you have many a NWA/WCW segment on a Saturday or Sunday evening in the 80’s. Very special segment here. Thank you.
