The hot topic across the wrestling world is Sting's final match. At the scrum that followed, Tony Khan spoke about wanting Sting to continue in some capacity with AEW. Vince Russo and EC3, two men who know the WWE Hall of Famer very well, spoke about how he never loved the wrestling business, like some others, such as Ric Flair and DDP.
Also, Russo tells Dr. Chris Featherstone in this edition of The Wrestling Outlaws how AEW star Darby Allin made a huge mistake in Sting's final match. And no, it was not the death-defying spot that everyone is talking about.

Surprise! To some people it’s just a job, and Sting is smart. He retired with lots of money, he is not severely injured or on drugs. That’s a lot more than most wrestlers can say.
when Sting and Ultimate Warrior started out they were more interested in bodybuilding than wrestling
Yet Warrior constantly gets shit on for it and Sting never is. They were both bodybuilders who didn't grow up watching wrestling and only got into the business to make money (which is the only reason you SHOULD do it)...but only Warrior is criticized for it
Until Sting cleaned up his act in 1990. The funny thing is that most WWE wrestlers seem more the bodybuilder type then Sting because most of them do use steroids.
@@KalEl1358 I think that's because of Vince... If you wanted that push you had to have a certain look back in the day... Not to mention Vince had that body building company that went under and he brought over any body builder that wanted to come over...
Sting said that all what he knew about pro wrestling was the WWF and that some of their wrestlers would go to the Gold's Gym that he was managing and that he got interested in getting into it after having attended one of their cards . He didn't watch it or lived it as a child like Ric Flair and Terry Funk did , but l think he did came to love it later on , specially after starting to wrestle for TNA. lf he wasn't loving it at that time, he would've retired much more earlier and wouldn't have debuted in WWE. He does love pro wrestling, but not as much as Flair does that he can't leave it behind, or as a Terry Funk did that made to stay active until he couldn't do it physically anymore.
@@zachary_attackery Warrior got critisized for it because of the disrespectful attitude that he showed several times in and out of the ring, while Sting showed respect for the business and was willing to learn.
The most hardcore fans cannot seem to handle the fact that not every single person in the wrestling business is as obsessed as they are, these fans seem to have the delusion that the wrestling business is a magical fantasy land. Why would it be though? In reality it is a dark sleazy business that has a lot of downside to it, the proof of this lies in the fact that so many wrestlers have dropped dead before the age of 50, and that is no coincidence,. it's all because of the business.
I respectfully disagree
Heard this from many credible older guys that sting wasn't a lover of the business
He's like Brock the business loves them and the fans but it's just a Job for them
@@giancarlocrumps7564 maybe but I've heard otherwise so I respectfully disagree
Sting and Ultimate Warrior were both bodybuilders that Rick Bassman found and basically sold to other promotions. Neither one of them grew up watching wrestling or cared about it. It was just a job to them
@@mringram I'm sure you're opinion of Sting matter more than People that actually met him and worked with him for years 😂
@@zachary_attackery early on maybe it is just a job to anyone even the wrestling fan who is starting out in wrestling
Lol I'm sure they all do it for money, even a wrestler who "loves the business" wouldn't do it if they weren't getting a paycheck. No sane person is gonna be on the road all year and destroy their body for nothing. Ric Flair had the perfect send off with that Shawn Michaels match but he came out of retirement for the money and Shawn Michaels did the same thing years later.
darby allen
Its true he never was into wrestling before he joines but its obvious he has love for it
Of course the marks are going to take this clickbait title out lf context. He's saying that Sting isn't someone like Flair who clearly can't stop wrestling and will never hang his boots up and go home. Flair has no life outside of the ring, Sting does
Can someone tell EC3 to invest in a better webcam.
Don't have to look at him to listen
He's using the brand new Logitech Potato
Control Your Narrative didn't make enough $ to upgrade his webcam
well if NWA pays then maybe he can
I hear Russo regularly saying negative stuff about pro wrestling. I've never heard sting complain once
Says the guy that openly hates the business.
Sting 100% continued to repel from the rafters following Owen’s accident. As far as 2000. This was all booked by Russo.
As Russo said, the Owen tragedy was a freak accident.
@@Rschr101 Owen’s accident wasn’t freak, it was negligent and shouldn’t have happened with the equipment they used. Strange that Russo acts like the stunt wasn’t done again following Owen’s “freak accident”, yet actually continued to book Sting to do so into 2000.
Russo caused Owen's death.
Who cares?Llike 95% of people hate their jobs or are indifferent towards them. Even "passionate" people have limits, a job is about money at the end. Good for Sting for getting as much money as possible his legacy is secure though I doubt he cares about legacy. I would've stayed in TNA for 500k a year too do next too nothing (not too say he didn't contribute) too. He got his and that's all that matters when you're at a job
No one cares, Russo wasn't saying it was a bad thing
In the press scrum afterwards you could tell when Sting was asked if he would work behind the scenes he basically admitted being an agent and giving back to the business isn't what he's about. Even Cornette has said it's all about the money with Sting and there is nothing wrong with that
Cornette isn't anybody to hold in high regard. Never the less, Trump 2024
Hulk Hogan in his best years was 50% media Creation
- Jim Cornette
That Dr. Chris idea was awful. Like the worst idea ever.
Right, Sting actually seems like a good guy😂
Vince russo the one who didn't like the wrestling business so what sting want money a lot of wrestlers wanted money not just sting.
Lmao! Russo didn't mean it as an insult, he's saying that Sting isn't the type to die in the ring or die attempting to get back in the ring.
Yes it was Paul Stanley. Not Gene Simmons
I disagree
EC3 always looks lost. Legit. The lights are on but no one's home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I definitely agree with Vince about wrestling being so predictable these days. And I see what Chris is saying when he said he wished Darby woulda turned on Sting. Im glad that didn’t happen, and I’m glad Sting had his Hollywood ending. He’s my all time favorite wrestler, and after the way WWE had him go out, he was almost owed this ending. Other than Darby being in the ring, I have no issues with the way that ending was booked whatsoever.
14:30 Chris, I think you’re talkin about that time Sting was on fire, on top of the Turner tron, and Vampiro pushed him off… onto one of those big cushy mats.
Lets be honest guys like Cornette, Dutch and Russo are "downplaying" Sting impact in wrestling because he´retired in AEW
They never said all these dumb comments like "oh he never loved wrestling" or "he´s not flair or Hogan" nonsense when he first retired in 2016
I know you guys hate AEW but come on dont lower yourself by making a legend like Sting look like he was a jobber in the wrestling buisness just because he retired in AEW
I've met Cornette at a comic con, years before he started doing a podcast, and he talked shit about Sting the entire time because me and another guy had Sting shirts on. He won't publicly say anything bad about Sting because he knows even his own listeners will turn on him
Sting wrestled into his 60s for multiple companies how can you say he didn't love this business?
Funny how Russo never seems to learn that people don't all watch cable anymore, especially people under 50. I haven't had cable in 10 years but I see youtube clips. Which is the platform he's on.
Couple things-
First, enough with the 2, 3, 4 minute soliloquies Chris. We’re definitely not watching to hear you go on and on. Be the host, give your quick opinion, and pass it to the guys in the business.
Secondly, it is HUGELY insulting to hear that the Owen Hart tragedy was a “freak accident”. It was not that at all. Like you said Russo, Gene Simmons did it a thousand times. The difference was, Kiss’ rigging team actually knew what they were doing, and would never have cut corners to save a few bucks in exchange for possibly costing a man his life. An accident would have been if Gene Simmons fell from the rafters with proper rigging. We know without a shadow of a doubt that Vince McMahon cheaped on the carabiner for the sake of trying to make it look better when he unhooked it at the floor. I do believe it was accidental- but a freak accident it definitely wasn’t
Darby going to climb Everest so I suppose he’s disappearing after the jay white match would of been pointless for him to turn on Sting
Darby stayed in the ring to let Sting know that he had 3 minutes left of Airtime....Not the end of the world just because he hung around. Russo making a huge deal out of NOTHING
There are levels to it. It's hard to say a guy like Sting who did this for so long didn't have at least a little bit of love for the business. But if I were to make a list of guys that love the wrestling business, Sting wouldn't be anywhere near the top, respectfully.
Vince, it is called business for something. Now, did you ever respect it yourself? Making David Arquette a World Heavyweight Champion?
Marky Markus, Arquette got WCW into the movie business. Don't let youtubers program your brain
@@kpimkpim349Vince Russo Caters To Smarks. He Was Pushing Billy Kidman & Vampiro. Plus He Made Himself World Champion.
@allencollins5666 I'm guessing the youtube channel you get your personality from thinks Billy Kidman and Vampiro are supposed to be a bad thing? Lol 😆
@@kpimkpim349And Arquette winning the belt was a good thing? 😆
@@MrElectricwave nobody cared until 2015 youtube videos
well most wrestlers were like that at that time ,Ultimate Warrior, Sid,Lex Luger, Brock Lesnar, Bill Goldberg, Kevin Nash,and Sable
I would say Sting did not take the business over seriously, which contributed to his longevity.
That wasn't Gene Simmons, it was Paul Stanley who did the high wire act in KISS' concerts.
Im tired of people using the word kudos
Former pro wrestler Al Perez said on a interview that him and Sting and a few more WCW wrestlers were at a convention for handicapped children. And as soon as they left...he was making fun of them....thats cold hearted
Who?
Pull up AL Perez on Sting and Lex Luger...it's a 2 and a half minute interview and listen to it
Greg Valentine didnt like Sting either....that why he left WCW..n late 90s..they wanted him to put Sting over and he said NO
I think Sting did do it a couple times after Owen died but I'm not totally sure?
01 vs 01 02 vs 02 03 vs 03 04 vs 04 Past Present Future
If is true i dont blame him because Wrestling is not the only stuff that matters in this world🤷🏻♂️i mean look how bad wrestling is he only came back just to please fans and to end is career on is term.
I don't want to hear what he has to say. I have no respect for Vince Russo
Sting repelled from the rafters one more time in 2000 on the nitro after Spring Stampede on nitro with a program on Vampiro.
Is "Wrestlebinge" trademarked? I'd love to see ya'll start a promotion with UA-cam as the place for viewership in the early stages. Dr. Chris=exec, Russo=writer, EC3=character. Imagine a no-handcuffs wrestling show back on the scene!
Russo made some of the worst choices ever so i can see why he would want a turn that no one wanted to see. People wanted a proper send off for one of the greats not a angle.
I dont care if he loved his job that way or not... i still was far more entertained by sting than i was flair. I thought flair was waaaay past his prime in 97 ffs
You are right Sting is not Ric Flair and he is not DDP. He is night and day a way better worker than both combined
😆
You're kidding, right? Sting better than Flair? LOL.
@@vincesmith2499 can you count to five? Because thats exactly the amount of move set Flair has
Flair is god
You sound like a flair hater....Sting couldn't lace Ric Flairs boots
Chris really just did better booking than AEW.
Sting is not 🚫 Ric flair,he is better than Ric flair and in better condition and shape than Ric Old Rusty flair
Why does keep saying "Bro"? It's like when people say "Basically" or "You know whum sayin'?" all the time.
why is EC3 webcamming through a gameboy? dude! its 2024 C'mon champ lol ;)
Sting Past Present Future
I'm 100% sure Sting did it at least once after Owen died. EC3 is right.
Clearly many of yall did not listen to the video at all. Russo never took a shot at Sting.
sting rapelled from rafters in tna against christopher daniels
Idk but imo Flair was a boring wrestler.
You're crazy. He should be first on Mountain Rushmore. His promos were perfect and he was a great technician.
Yes you are crazy
Ric Flair is God
The Human Torch Match
😂If he never loved it at first he grew to love it cause obviously he came from the bodybuilding world.
Family comes first and some wrestlers but their family second it should be god first family second wrestling third
Liked That God is more important to him thank work. It needs to be.
YOU "LOVE" THE WRESTLING BUSINESS IF YOU MAKE MONEY "IN IT "OR "OFF IT" 💥✨🎉🎉❇ #EOMREACTS ☪🎉🎉✨💥
I'm less than 5 minutes in and I have to go against Vince here. This match was about Darby thats why they won. Sting wanted to lose his last match in WWE to give HHH the rub. Here, in tag action, Sting gave Darby the rub. The entire match was Stings idea. everything that happened is what he wanted. Therefore Darby staying in the ring is perfectly acceptable and how Sting wanted it.
Sting wanted to lose to HHH?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Rschr101 yeah he said so himself
Coulda shot Darby into the next level and given the mega rub beyond a stuntman to him by having him turn on Stinger at the very last minute before going off the air, and thus justifying trying to outshine him in his last match...the broken glass was way too much in my opinion but spot(lite)hoggin woulda been okay if that was the storyline.
This match actually made my likening for Darby dampen a lot
Dropping balls all over, and not in the good way.
Instead we get ...Darby vs Jay White?
WTF does that have to do with ...anything?
One could say Russo hated the business, by putting a miscarriage as a storyline.
Russo wouldn't know what love is. Russo only loves 1 thing and 1 thing only: Himself. Sting wasn't the one who killed WCW and almost killed TNA it was Russo. This man is full of shit.
AoL/Time Warner merger killed WCW. TNA went down the toilet when they brought in Bischoff and Hogan.
@@Rschr101 Shiiittt, on top of that. I'd welcome Russo to write in wrestling company today!
EC3 windows 8
winning the titles and retiring the titles means that everyone who is the tag team champs after.. are fake champs .. darby is tag team champ for life now
Vince Russo sucks
I disagree with Russo
Ruso killed WCW and almost killed TNA. I think he is the one that hates wrestling or simply does a really bad job.
No
Hey russo shave that unibrow please
It's true he was a body builder
Sting i never liked i feel he is a great con man and should have been booted out of wrestling once wcw closed
Russo ought to shut up Sting did love the business he is wrong
Numerous people have stayed Sting didn't love the business and that it was only a paycheck for him. Cope harder kid.
I FORGOT YOU WORKED W STING
Arse
Feck
Everybody on the Internet knows everything
Bunch of clowns. Why would anybody want to see this in Sting's last match.
Over 16,000 people wanted to see this and it was a great last match including myself so might want to think about before you say good next time you're in the North Carolina area come to my face and call me a clown
I believe they should’ve had Darby turn on him when he announced he was retiring, you know like saying why are you leaving all I’ve done for you I’ve been carrying you all this other crap! Have a match after that and then Darby takes the other two and retires staying at revolution but I’m a good note when they hug it out have a speech say this and that it’s been my pleasure we had her up and down sting bows out and leaves
He's a liar.
Agree- Sting has a in tact family... it was a job... he retired. He's taking his money and going home with the memories.
What the f*** do you want him to do wrestle Till 80 years old yes please agree with Vince Russo over something you don't know a damn thing about
Long hair NWA Flair still hasn’t been surpassed. The greatest of all time young and peaking. Had the biggest mouth and he backed it up.
Sting the slapnut
I respect the hell out of sting, but he's overrated
He's not overrated! He's properly rated and gets his proper just due and flowers.
Yessir, you are correct. His promos never did it for me. Good persona and mystique and that's it.
Yes he is overrated
@@raymondtipton7243Or maybe your opinion is just trash.
@@MrDust1981His promos in TNA were very solid.
He won a match because the writer in the back wrote that he won the match
Who are u Vince Russo ajjjaj, Sting is icon of WCW, but u killer of WCW. Sting loves wrestling more than u. Sting is professional and that's not meant don't love wrestling. That like childish idea. Who is in there ohh ec3 biggest overrated of wrestling business. Who re u and how u talking like that. Sting more than valuable to your life. Stinger splash might be bigger than your miserable wrestling career.
