The sight of Sting and Tony in the ring actually took me back to being a teenager in the 90s and watching Nitro. It really did make me feel something I cannot describe.

[@rockcatinc.4814]

I felt it too. Awesome.

Mate couldnt say it better myself lol ove watched this like 50 times haha

Is it me or is Sting looking at Darby like he's looking in a mirror in his younger day's

[@bizil100]

Yes a younger smaller version of Crow Sting. Because of his persona. BUT has the hair style damn near of Surfer Sting! LOL

Name similarities between them..... Face paint isn't one. I'll wait.

[@wrestlemaniac82]

@@justinkelly9526 They played both football & basketball in high school. They got into wrestling, under unintentional circumstances. They became mainstream stars on a Turner owned network. They have been known to be risk takers (Sting's are few & far between, but that would be true for most people that are compared to Darby).

Why do people say Sting isn't a good talker? He might not be one of the all-time greats but to me is excellent.

Easily one of the best to ever touch a mic in the ring and outside the ring. Sting is an amazing actor as well.

Sting was one of the best babyface promos of all time. He was always full of fire and electricity. It isn't what you say, it's how you say it.

[@ispoox]

This clip is a perfect representation of how AEW is becoming the best promotion, despite that I’m writing this in 2023. It’s grown so much and introduced new incredible names and brought back absolute legends. It’s like Tony Kahn is playing with wresting action figures, taking all the best, classic icons, and discovering new hidden gems, and creating a dream like wrestling world that’s voiced by JR and Schiavone, and it’s all actually happening in real life. It’s awesome. Something myself and probably a lot of other never thought they’d see in the world of wrestling again.

[@abhyanshsharma8019]

Correct

[@theejams2385]

i've seen so many hugs in AEW but Sting and Tony's Hug means Everything to me since WCW.

[@christopherstead1203]

You can hear and see the joy in Sting's eyes and his voice that he's happy to see some of his old friends again and to be back in the squared circle once again. This segment here plus his debut last week were great

[@forrealterrellgaming]

Could you imagine being in the same presence and work side by side with someone who inspired you to do what you love? I bet that’s an awesome feeling. So happy for Cody. 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Sting's mic skill is beyond legendary, I was watching the video of him and CM Punk and he absolutely stole the show when he got on the mic. Not many people can do that when sharing the same ring as Punk.

Imagine if Sting mentors Darby eventually leading to Darby painting the other side of his face like Stings.

Oh dude that's fucking sick

And show off the double face paint for a PPV.

Would not match Darby's Symbolism in his face paint. He wears half face paint as a way of saying that he's half dead inside. If being mentored by Sting would make him fully dead inside that wouldn't fit, would it?
