who knows how many people tony khan paid to shut the dirt sheets up 😂
@@danielvasquez3980 somebody would of spilled it about now lmao
don't be upset but there've actually been several rumors about him going to aew, unfortunately, the question was only when
@@paweguszynski7040 yea i know that,but it was dropped after a few months i believe before covid hit.
Dude could be 95 years old and I’d still lose my s*** if he made an appearance. My all time favorite. This was unforgettable.
Sting is also 95yrs old
@@Floridaburg- you're only 34 years off
Accurate!!
I showed this clip to a co-worker, and after he marked out HARD, he said, "You know, I don't want to see his old ass actually wrestle, but him standing around being mysterious? That makes for GREAT television."
Exactly. It never gets old to see him in paint.
They had one shot at this and they nailed it. The lights out. The video. The music. The snow. The walk to the ring. The call by Tony. The interactions with the guys in the ring. And the walk back in the snow. Just a fantastic moment all around.
Idk that stare down with Darby kinda killed it
I'll forever remember this Iconic moment in wrestling history!
@@MauricioSandoval-xc9ih how???
The music was good. All of it was. But the music is easily the part to get wrong. But they nailed it.
Idk music was week. With the visuals it was perfect for some black metal
Sting has such an aura. His presence is incredible.
I agree. Similar to The Undertaker. It's something special. You play Tekken on PS4? You know why I ask 😅
THE ANSWER TO ROMAIN REIGHNZZZ!!
Only wrestler to put over and be the face of a company without saying a single word for an entire year
“This isn’t goodbye. It’s actually...see you later.”
Sting, Hall of Fame 2016.
he knew 😎
I guess he meant it when he said that.
@@exodia9817 🦂
He knew and what a way to come back
Was suppose to return to wrestle taker at survivor series but you know....COVID
Sting is up there with Kane and The Undertaker in terms of being a "force of nature" character. Whenever evil gets too powerful, Sting appears to put it back in its place.
Well said.
Gang💚
According to me Sting is even bigger than Undertaker.
I think hes above kane and the undertaker
and then jobs to Hogan
WOW! I'm 66 years old and have been a wrestling fan since the early 1980's. It's nice to see that the older wrestlers from my time are still relevant!
Not about being relevant, Borden just likes crazy Billionaire money !!
@Paul Wood yup even though I am 16 years old I still like goldberg sting undertaker steve austin and many more these men proved themselves that age is just a number
imagine all these younger wrestlers flipping all over the place trying to get a pop and a 61 year old man walks on the stage with some snow and blows the roof of the place.
Still relevant and still going strong!! Many of them are very relevant. They work back stage
@@davidyu3533 its not just young wrestlers its all the young generation. Everyone wants to be famous these days. Back in the day everyone was more humble
I saw this moment when he first walked in to AEW, and I watched when he walked away. Thank you Sting. You will NEVER be forgotten.
It led to arguably the best run of his career
Literally everything about this was perfect - the titantron, snow, music, commentators, crowd, staredowns - 10/10, would mark out again
The name of the event
Yeah, I marked out again watching this video.
Screen gave his name too quick, music was okay, snow only at the stage (thumbs down), can't comment on the crowd because it's not full, staredowns were OK, commentators were lifeless. 2/10
Snow was a nice addition.. idk why.
But Sting won't be taking bumps because he's old and fragile, so his return is pointless because he's gonna do absolutely nothing
Tony's voice breaking when he says "It's an amazing moment! It's an amazing moment!" makes me so darn happy!
Tony was so happy, and for good reason. 19 years after the fall of WCW the two were both in that crystalline moment on AEW.
Yes And The Beauty Of This Is How Well Kept It Was No Spoilers Even Tho We Knew Sting Would Come One Day Didnt Expect It That Night.
"Its stiiiiiiinng"
Tony’s voice is the reason why this debut was legendary af
💘
Even at 61 he’s still so intimidating, it gives me hope for the future.
Cage Crowley we're so lucky this man chose to live a healthy life he looks great
Wooooooooo
when you wear face paint, everyone looks great
@@HishamX He still has a lot of definition and he's not fat. Tazz is a decade younger, and look at him in this clip. He is round.
He seemed like the old master coming in for his final war. Very epic.
This is like Batman returning to Gotham.
Omg yes
yessssssssss
Dark Knight Returns comic especially! Great comment.
I agree
Exactly!
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.
True
Those two legends give bonechilling presence.. Totally goosebumps..
What you talking about undertaker can still go the reason he retired is because of the current situation in this world I don't blame him for that sting being back is just fine
Absolutely! Throw in Stone Cold Steve Austin for me as well.
Amen
No one was happier than Tony Schiavone! What an amazing moment!
As someone who has followed sting since the wcw days I legit sheded tears seeing this. Such an awesome thing to see happen live. This is why i love wrestling
Hearing Tony get emotionally happy made me pop even more as I grew up on WCW.
Kushti
Now, we just need Stone Cold so JR can lose his mind in the same fashion
Do not be surprised if you see sting next week on a ew Dynamite announce that he could be the new commissioner of a ew team 10 house and the rest of his elk JPM big trouble
Kane: Fire
Undertaker: Lightning
Sting: Snow
Gillberg: Fire Extinguisher

Dude I almost got choked up with happiness from listening to how Tony was responding. He truly didn’t know Sting was appearing that night and his reaction was as pure as any wrestling/Sting fan was gonna get. This video will never get old.
Undertaker: I'm Retired.
Sting: It's Showtime!
LOL. 😁😁😂😂🤣🤣😝😝
Wooooo
he actually retired 2016 but look at hbk ric they came back to
Yeah taker had sense
This song, this video package, these lights, the snow, Tony almost crying, the slow walk, the confrontation with the past and the future of wrestling... AEW made this look like a dream, it was the most amazing moment in wrestling this year for sure.
%1000 correct
Let's be clear, Tony absolutely cried during this!
@@mazing87 let's hope they have a footage of that somewhere
It was just so special. It was surreal, only moment that could rival it is Edge's return, but I can't decide, both wrestlers mean so much to me. Both such incredible moments, the whole presentation of Stings debut was just so surreal.
@@xXBRTBXx virgin lol
During the darkest days of this Pandemic, wrestling was here for us.
UFC was first then Wrestling while the NBA cowards were still hiding from the flu.
What pandemic?
@@Testingthisname he's referring to the Covid-19 pandemic

I thought he meant a REAL pandemic not a larp

Too bad it wasn't a packed arena. Imagine the crowd reaction.
It would've been heard three states away 😂
@@DrinkYourNailPolish there is an ocean between my location and Jacksonville and I would have prolly heard it xD
still better than no fans at all
Sting still gotta nice pop for just over 100ppl💯
Uufff just imagine
*The only shame is that the arena need a full crowd, this would have had one of the largest pops ever...*
FACTS!!! That Pop wouldve been INSANE.
Imagine without pandemic.
still Was a louder pop than What hE got in that other place thank God😎
So true! I was at home and I was SCREAMING!
Had to put a pillow over my face so I didn't scare the neighbors 😂
@@justinpost93 Oh hell yea, the one he had at Survivor Series was terrible, absolutely disgraceful. It actually makes me angry everytime I watch it. Seriously what a joke.
How the hell sting can look like this with such a fitness in his 60s?????
Hats off !
Even in wm he looked for for a 57 year old. Man having some great training
Genetics and discipline
Hes completely covered in clothes...
Clean living.
Sting is A Bodybuilder
I’m so happy that Tony got to call this. You can hear his voice break a bit. He’s so happy to have the chance to do this for one of his best friends. This company knows what it’s doing.
Loved how he looked at both sides of Darby's face.
I Peeped That Too, As If He Wants Him To Paint All of It And Not Half And Embrace It All!
If there is anyone who understands facepaint, ITS STING!
Hmmmm
" _This is not a goodbye... I see you later_ "

Sting makes AEW debut at *61*
*This guy Sting never looks old!!*
🤣lmao thats a good one
Except he's over the hill and just another relict on a programme already filled with nobodys and "former" stars
No they are both old and need to be stopped. We as fans need to stop celebrating this. Wrestling is very damaging to the body. These guys keep it up. They will be walking like robots. Just look at Hogan’s stiff ass now. Or even worse dead or paralyzed.
Jesus is guess nostalgia one hell of a drug to wrestling fans. 🤦🏾♂️
@@lostsoul7980 Nostalgia sells
But i guess, he just show maybe 3-4 match or 3 event/main event PPV in AEW... He can wrestling to much in 61 years old dude
He just make a suprise for AEW.. to get more fans
I love Tony's initial reaction. The total surprise and utter shock when he says "What the.." sets up the perfect attitude for when Sting walks out onto the ramp, then the iconic "IT'S STIIIIIIIIIING!" after makes it seem like an actual super hero just returned to action.
(Edit: In my mind, this is the Greatest AEW Debut in AEW History)
I was shocked by this. I kept yelling at my wife saying, Sting! It's Sting! And she didn't understand because she doesn't know who sting is so i.kept yelling it.
This happened to me exactly how you described it!
Yep there’s more of us in that boat 😂
Are u still married? Kidding
😭😭😭
Lol same. My wife woke up cause i was making so much noise lol. She rolled her eyes and went back to sleep.
It’s okay. You’re addicted to rewatching this. We all are.
Can’t....stop...
ty bro. I thought I'm going crazy
Makes me feel like a teen girl again! Had a mega crush on him back then.
DAMN RIGHT :D
Almost 9 days every day, my idol, they put a lot of dirt on him in an "unknowk Wrestling Federation" ;) was really sad to see him gone in the wind after a carreer of glory from Many federations. Maybe it's time to see this federation growing up with legends like him giving space to NEW legends and in a new monday night war one day MAYBE... see a mature federation coming up winner on a federation of pile of re-used and pluri-resurrected legends and fill-up characters. This is amazing. hope it's the best closure and passage of withness for him. still have goosebumps.
Dude you can hear Tony get choked up. This moment was incredible.
IT's STIIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG!!!!!!!!?????😱😢
Probably choking on another cheeseburger!!!
@@lousassle9655 explain
@@sagesarrazine6270 him and Jericho are a cheeseburger away from EXPLODING!!!!!
Better than Michael Cole saying his sketchy line every time of a return "OHHHHH MYYYYYYY!" and Tony saying this makes it all so much better.
AEW did Sting complete justice. Sting had one hell of a retirement match. Thank you, Sting, The best to ever do it.
Tony’s reaction seemed almost legit shocked and marking out hardcore like a fan! Awesome. It gave me chills not gonna lie!
They may have kept it secret from him and lied it was happening at a later time for secrecy elements
It was a secret to many of the wrestlers. Only a few knew about it.
Apparently they kept it a secret from everyone, so the reactions are all real and raw, and I think that's why it's so great.
I literally just started crying. My dad and us kids LOVED Sting. My uncle even dressed up as him and pretended to be him at my 6th birthday party.😭🖤
Hollywood Blond Sting or Crow Sting both equally amazing!
Dont read My PROFILE PICTURè :)
Beautiful story!
Sammeeeeeeee
Me encanta, saludos desde Perú
Undertaker : I'm finally retiring
Sting **enters**
Vince : Taker, I need you back
Vince isn't worried about Sting or AEW.
For real ands thats exactly whats going to happen.
Well undertaker had 2 weeks of retirement time to pull the good old big show on him
@@hamman_samuel neither, out of friendship and loyalty to Vince.
@@HeyJack13 we never had Undertaker vs Sting. That's the only dream match we might never get.
I love how Sting interacted with everyone.
Dustin: A young wrestler now a legend
Arn: Acknowledging his past
Cody: Seeing how he has grown and how he most likely sees Dusty in him
Darby: The future and the obvious face paint and bare sides of him.
This was perfect
Dustin is not a legend

@@pack2500 How is he a legend I’ll wait.
@@pack2500 He's Stupid Ignore him.
@@kamfisher1714 how is he not a legend? I'll wait.
This is the best debut I’ve ever seen live. Completely unpredictable and if you say you saw this coming you’re a liar. AEW is the best wrestling company in the world right now!
I said sting would come back as joke when I saw Allin isolating himself in the top of the crowd the weeks before his championship match, but truely I never thought it will be a reality
I had like few ways I thought the AEW championship was going to go. That ending I didn't even see coming. Sting's debut was another I just did not see coming.
Best in the world?? LOLOLOL
Agreed!
There were rumors for Sting to show up on Full Gear in the Darby vs Cody match but it was good they did not pull the trigger then and waited let the idea and rumors die down and make people think that no Sting won't show up on AEW, this made it more epic that nobody knew about it no rumors no theories all had died down and then BAM Sting shows up doesn't say a word but still feels like the baddest S.O.B in that ring
The Presence, The slow walk to the ring, staring every wrestler in their eye. STING IS BACK KIDS!
@TRAY'VON HARRIS if you have to say, “I’m not a kid” then you’re still a kid.
Stinger has to do the slow walk cause he’s 61 years young!
@TRAY'VON HARRIS lol you're still a kid
@@paulkim3267 holy shit is he really 61!
@TRAY'VON HARRIS call the police kid. Idgaf.
Tony Schiavone must be a biggest fan of Stinger's every time he sees Sting the excitement in his voice feels so natural and genuine.❤
Sting walks into a room and immediately becomes a top 10 trendings on UA-cam. I love it.
I worked with his son back in the day! Wholesome family!
@@MariaMinter what work ?
Darby being the only one to stare Sting in the eyes and not cower down... Sting looking at him longer than anyone else... Something big is coming between those two.
Yeah depending on whether he's healthy enough to compete, I'm guessing he's either gonna mentor Darby or start a program with him.
He could pass down the mantle to darby
I never put it together but Darby does look like a skinny young sting, hes got a different certain kinda cool factor like him too.
Hes the only one to stare at him the longest cause its scripted that way
He looked at both the painted and unpainted of sides separately, I think that Allins facepaint might start having more meaning
This was done masterfully. In a day and age where secrets are hardly kept this brought me to a state of disbelief. Thanks AEW for making me feel like a kid again.
I love that look he gives Darby. Almost as if he recognizes Darby, has seen him before. Sees a young Sting in the making.
It's Stiiiiiiiiiiiiing!
Hell yeah!
Hope he makes it to the AEW game and it gets on the switch. We really need a good wrestling game
Is he Steve Borden or a fake sting
@@mezcaomezcal4724 omg for real, Switch is my fav console so I want this so bad

He was
Tony genuinely enjoys this it helps the product so much.
Yeah Tony Sciavani was so happy to see Sting again.
Shit man i cried
The way he looked at Dusty’s sons, when Dusty’s not around anymore, and then at Darby as if Darby’s an apprentice... goosebumps
Anderson - Nah...we already had our moments..don't need to add more.
Dusty's sons - No Uncle Sting....we don't want the smoke. Honest.

"This crazy year has gone insane" JR
Ill take it!!
It would appear so.
Imagine if this had a full crowd.
We'd all be deaf.
“The shot heard around the world”
The pop sounded damn good, for the size of the crowd, and from what I’ve heard of fan footage, the aew talent at ringside who are usually pretty vocal were staying almost completely silent, as if they had complete faith in the small audience to blow the non-existent roof off the place. I wish they’d do that more often, or even just stop having talent in the audience in general, unless they’re a plant for a spot in a match. I love knowing I’m hearing a genuine fan reaction in the post-covid era.
@@coreylineberry8557 We all be Deaf indeed my friend
@@youngkzmusic9586 Audience reaction is piped in to sound better.
Tony Schiavone seems like he's about to cry never thought that I would hear Jim Ross would be calling Sting in a wrestling show 😭😭😭 only 90's kids understand the emotional ride they are going through right now
I got literal goosebumps
It's nice not to hear "Ohhhhhhhhh my!" or "You've got to be kidding me?!" lmao
Yeah man.
He probably means this version of Sting
@Steven Degner I get that but why are you fucking leaning towards the negative side,let people enjoy this shit.
The happiness in Schiavone’s voice makes this moment 2x better
Seeing how he looked at Darby it all makes sense now glad Sting and Darbs had that run.
I can’t believe there wasn’t a normal audience for this moment. Could you imagine how huge and loud this pop would have been
I was there and trust me the pop was huge
You get a normal crowd for aew but not for takers goodbye
Man it would’ve been crazy! AEW crowds are already crazy by itself
if there was a full crowd, if would sound like a superbowl crowd
I see a crow flying in the winter sky.. STING!!
The ICON, the FRANCHISE, Sting back on TNT for the first time in 18 years...if your a 90’s child, you know exactly how I’m feeling....talk about nostalgia!! Welcome back STING!!!!
shane douglas is the franchise

“Back for more ‘money’?” Fixed it for you lol.
Love this statement wooooooò

Tony's IT'S STING reaction > Michael Cole's whole career.
Haha yup
"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME" headass 😂

🤣
@@YaseenWarisOG you obviously know less if you're thinking Cole is a better commentator
Bro. I just noticed you could see Darbys eyes watering and wiping away a tear. That is fucking POWERFUL.
When a man's heart is full of deceit, it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow
falls over his soul.
From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse.
A wrong that must be righted.
We look to the skies for a vindicator.
Someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him.
The battle between good and evil has begun.
Against an army of shadows comes a dark warrior.
The purveyor of good with the voice of silence and a mission of justice.
This is Sting.
I wish they could still use that intro and theme song
For a moment there I was assuming you were quoting the Crow movie
That's not sting
That's Batman
Or sting too it works .
Bring back the crow theme music!!!
forgot about this! so phenomenal. what a great time that was to watch WCW
who else played this more than once ?.....
Me!
i've played it at least 4 or 5 and i'll play it again. now i'm more of an Impact fan than AEW but this is Sting we're talking about. not just a man, or myth, or legend, but an icon. THE ICON! the man called Sting.
@@FatalS420 😂😂
Almost 20 times
I don't even know anymore the soundtrack is awesome
I LOVE the small detail of Sting spending more time on Darby to examine his makeup. The stories to be told between those two alone are endless.
Maybe theyll go skateboarding together lol
Sting was thinking "since when have midgets been in the main event?"
Sting deserved a bigger crowd for his return
Absolutely!
But crowd or no crowd, Sting is here to WRESTLE.
Bloody LEGEND 🦂
Sting returning back on TNT is like me watching the Monday Night Wars and going back to my middle and high school days again!
they was just the best
I hear that man!!!
Yeah man
2:48 joker version of the stinger😎
I feel ya
Thank go they saved this moment for a crowd. Even with a smaller audience, the pop was loud. Welcome to AEW Sting, you are now Elite.
I was there. It was surreal. Sounded like 20k people in the building
Another reason 2020 sucked.. can you imagine the pop this would have got in a full arena?? Still, this was epic enough :)
@@WWEGAMEING101 Did you film it, or were just lost in the moment.
@@WWEGAMEING101 bull shit. Were you really there
AEW did Sting complete justice.
Sting had one hell of a retirement match.

Ik sting is the important part, but that line jr said, “this crazy year just got insane.” Never change jr😂
Hearing Tony with the passion in his voice...man chills and tears... what a return...my grandfather RIP loved Sting from the old WCW days...I wish he could have saw this.
My condolences for your loss and I'm sure he would've been really amped up over this
I know the feeling
Schiavone's reaction to Sting is exactly how everyone watching was feeling. Sting has an aura about him, even today, that is rarely equaled.
Remember Sting had the best promo run ever for over a year he made appearances and didn’t even have to talk!! The Legend the icon it’s STING!!!!
True
Sting is just so naturally characsmatic.
When Sting arriving is NOT the biggest twist a wrestling show does, you know its damn good.
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.
👊👊👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice breakdown, makes me appreciate the level of storytelling in pro wrestling!
Cringe
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.
All this was efficiently communicated without a single word
"ITS STIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!!" What a Tony Schiavone Moment. What an amazing epic and shocking debut by STING. That epic theme music is absolutely LIT🔥🔥🔥🔥
The man is over 60 years old and still has this amazing presence.
And to have the commentary of Tony Schiavone while Sting appears on TNT again ...
Thank you, AEW, for making Pro Wrestling in prime time TV fun again!!
he'll be 62 in march and he still looks damn good.
@@derek-64 For real his face still looks kinda young It's crazy , and he was very good in his last match, I know it was 5 years ago but if anybody can do a good match above 60 then it is definetly Sting
Coming Soon: Where Were You When CM Punk Made his Shocking AEW Debut?
This aged really well
Oh......Dang
Well I guess it wasn't so shocking after all
Welp
i loved this. i don't care how old or worn out sting may be, he's pure magic to me. him just standing around and staring at someone is so simple and yet is able to draw you in.
There's some things that age can't take away from you and being able to convey emotion with a look in your eyes is one of them.
Sting has always been my idol, waking up and hearing he returned was one of the happiest moments I've had in 2 years
He is so naturally characsmatic.
Man I come back to this every once in a while and I still get the chills. Sting is truly a legend among legends in this industry.
THE ICON 🦂
me too
Sting came back here to aid his illegitimate 'kayfabe' son, Darby Allin...
👍🏽x100
Now wouldn't that be sick... Darby could add the other side of his face paint. One side is the skull, other side is the Stinger!

Honestly.....after the "Attitude Era"......I kinda grew out of wrestling......I flick through it when it's on TV sometimes...but I don't avidly watch it anymore....for years if not decades......but even after ALL the years I haven't watched...........i can watch STINGS AEW Debut.......I get chills....I almost tear up even........THIS entrance of Sting, always takes me back to those "Attitude Days".......I feel like a kid again. 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.
Wooow. I'm 30 years older now an seeing Sting walk out made me feel like a kid all over again. Those were the days of wrestling.
👍

@MattSm00th he has signed a FULL time, MULTI year contract with AEW. Yes. He will be wrestling.
@@morrisonozzy he retired because he was severely injured, he will not be wrestling much if at all
@Anthony Lockhart show Sting some respect!
Sting had the same surguery edge had, so im sure he will have some good matches and im sure hes feeling better then he has in a long time.
The beginning of the last chapter of an incredible story. Thank you, Sting. 🦂
The way Darby is breathing when Sting is stood right in front of him is fantastic. You can tell his adrenaline is racing
For 4 minutes, I felt like I was a kid again. This is the best moment of Winter is Coming, hands down.
Feels like I'm back in high school again seeing sting on TNT
Totally agree this was fantastic
It may very well have been the best moment of the show, but I dunno about the hands-down part. The ending when Callis said Omega will be on IMPACT this coming Tuesday, thus revealing that AEW and IMPACT will be working together is pretty groundbreaking too. I see it as a possible first step in organization crossovers like the old territory days. I, personally, have longed for the territory days to come back.
AEW was promoting winter is coming. We didn't know Sting was coming. Even the retired Undertaker should be shocked. Thank you AEW!!!
Been hearing this rumor. Surprised you didn’t hear. Wish I didn’t it’s way cooler to be surprised
Lol stop it, it was everywhere that it was sting, where you been?
This was the greatest moment in wrestling of 2020.
“ITS STING “ sounds like tony sciovone genuinely didn’t know about him debuting
Great debut
Tony confirmed on his post-show podcast that he did in fact know that Sting was debuting, he talked to him beforehand backstage.
@dagiftofgab247 haa get some life bro
@@afaqkhan5239 He Dead..

"Seeing this man makes me feel Young again Tony!!"
