Sting On Descending From The Rafters: My Sphincter Muscle Gets Very Tight
On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Sting came down fro the rafters for one final time as he made the save for Darby Allin and Ric Flair as they were laid out by The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson).
Sting famously came down from the rafters on a nearly weekly basis on WCW Nitro when he was saving competitors from the NWO.
Speaking to Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Sting reflected on his final rafter drop.
“You climb and step over that rail, and it’s like, ‘It’s time to let go now,'” Sting said. “I used to say my sphincter muscle gets very tight in those moments. And it does. It can be scary. I had one little pang when I was up there. It was like a 30-second pang when I realized I’m getting ready to do this here again.
“We’re having this casual conversation. ‘All right, you ready to go?’ I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Sting is set to compete in his final match at AEW Revolution when he teams with Darby Allin to face The Young Bucks.
Allin has said that they will have a special entrance for the match. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
