Jeff Jarrett says Sting’s last match was surreal.

At AEW Revolution, Sting competed in the last match of his legendary career as he and Darby Allin defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship against the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson). Sting and Allin emerged victorious, and several legends, including Lex Luger and Diamond Dallas Page, were in attendance.

Speaking on My World with Jeff Jarrett, the Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on Sting;’s last match. He noted that he spoke with Sting ahead of the show on Sunday.

“Sting’s last match. Very surreal day in so many ways. Don’t even really know where to start….We went downstairs to eat breakfast, and the table over was none other than the man himself, Stinger, with family. They walked over, and we kind of had a brief chat. It was to me one of the most special parts of the day,” Jarrett said.

Jarrett went on to note that seeing so many legends at AEW Revolution brought out the wrestling fan in him. He reiterated that it was an incredible night. Jarrett shared his belief that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as Sting got a full-circle sendoff. 

“That was a cool moment. Anyway, it was really, really special. Then obviously, all through the day, Greensboro Coliseum, it’s one of the first big, big coliseums, it’s just gigantic. My god, it was, Ricky Morton always said it best, sold out, hanging from the rafters, but it was. It was jam-packed. With JR in the house and obviously Schiavone in the house, looked around and it was, the wrestling fan in me and so many others, you just couldn’t help it come out of you. Steamboat, Nikita, David Crockett, it was a very, very cool, surreal day, an incredible night of wrestling. I still say, it’s very, very hard to really wrap your head around, that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just because of, he started on TBS, and he got to finish. It is such an incredible full circle with the boys in the ring,” Jarrett said.
