Dustin Rhodes: I Love Sting To Death, I’m Happy That His Career Had The Perfect Ending

Dustin Rhodes talks Sting’s retirement.

At AEW Revolution, Sting competed in his final match, as he teamed with Darby Allin in a tag team match against The Young Bucks. The match was hailed as an all-time classic by many fans, with some even calling it the best match of Darby Allin’s career.

While appearing on a recent episode of the Sports Guys Talk Wrestling podcast, Dustin Rhodes said that he’s happy that Sting got to end his career on his own terms.

“To end it all in Greensboro, which I have fought in many times — and when I was a youngster, me and Brad Anderson would drive to Greensboro to watch the Starrcades and see the crowds. To end it in a town like Greensboro was very fitting and to see him go out there and perform at his age and still bring it like he has, jumping off of things through tables, off of balconies — it’s amazing. My knees right now are killing me, my shoulders, I’ve had so many surgeries. To see him do that, he never complains. He’s never foul mouthed about anything, he’s very respectful and very professional. I love him to death and I’m just happy that he did have the perfect career ending and it’s so special watching it and knowing that this is it. It’s sad, I don’t want him to quit, I want him to continue on until he’s 100. But, our bodies are not gonna allow that. He gave a lot of love to a lot of people for many years.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Rhodes talked about Mercedes Mone and her AEW debut. Fans can learn more here.
