Iconic: 64-Year Old Sting Is Getting Ready For His Retirement Match By Turning Back The Clock And Dropping From The Rafters With His Bat In Hand

You wanna talk about iconic moments in sports, entertainment, pop culture, anything, you have to talk about Sting dropping from the rafters. I don't care if it was WCW days or last night on AEW. It gets the people going! It's why I'm 37-years old and have no plans to ever stop watching wrestling. You bring me back to my young days with a move like this and you won me over. 

Sting's final match is coming up this weekend, so that just sets the stage. Him and Darby Allin vs Young Bucks. So how do you set the tone for that besides Ric Flair, vicious attacks and some promos? Simple. You play the fucking hits! There was nothing cooler back in the 90s than the DX Chop and Sting coming down from the rafters with his bat in hand. Hell, it didn't even have to be rafters, it could be a helicopter: 

Nobody has ever sold anything better than Bischoff in the ring there. That's A+ level acting. Oh and back to Ric Flair, he was even there last night! 

The dirtiest player in the game! WOO! 

But the real story here is 64-year old Sting coming down from the rafters as we still get Tony Schiavone screaming IT'S STING! That's what wrestling is all about. Bring me back to the days of Monday Night Wars, I don't care. I'm a simple man. We even got to see a vintage scorpion death drop last night. Need him coming down from the rafters on Sunday. It's only right.
