. @Sting was always my favorite pro wrestler growing up. I'll never forget being a little kid watching him win the title from Ric Flair at the Great American Bash in 1990. Still my favorite match of all time. Happy retirement to an all time great https://t.co/PJ70JvUJA2

#AEWRevolution was my favorite AEW PPV in awhile. So much ruled on that show.
#AEWRevolution was a great card. Really feels like it could be an upswing for the company if they follow through with guys like Will Ospreay, Eddie Kingston, BCC, Undisputed Era and the Don Callis Family

When I interviewed Sting the other day, he hinted there was going to be a moment at #AEWRevolution with his sons and how much they both look like him when he was younger. Garrett and Steve Jr. coming out as Surfer Sting and Wolfpac Sting was a special moment. Sting told me his…

Really loved Sting’s finale. Had to watch it live since I grew up with the Stinger. Also saw the Osprey match, which was insane. Didn’t catch the whole PPV, enjoyed the two matches I saw. Get Okada in there ASAP and maybe AEW can start cooking again.
Thank You Sting for 39 years of entertainment! He's been wrestling my entire life. https://t.co/vwFbjZjQNG

That's former Kentucky tight end Steven Borden, son of Sting, on the right. He looks exactly like the 1980s version of his father. #AEWRevolution https://t.co/6HlbA92fmH
Glass. Sting has panes of glass. Even Darby looked shocked #AEWRevolution #ThankYouSting
We fantasy booked Sting's sons as previous versions on the show and it's so cool to see
nice to see sting get his flowers ahead of his final match, well done intro and all.
Sting's sons dressing up as his various iterations is *chef's kiss* #AEWRevolution https://t.co/G6XZeKFMPp
Full on chills watching that Sting intro video and his kids being dressed as him for his entrance. Fuck yes.
That crowd response to Sting's vignette warms my heart #AEWRevolution
Sting rocks
Sting's career last longer than Showtime boxing. #ItsShowtime
My favorite Sting moment was when he beat the crap out of a kid in that hilarious Sprite commercial in 1999. #AEWRevolution https://t.co/LxA8T0BEzY

Well that Osprey-Takeshita match was insane. Osprey is the next face of AEW and should be world champ within a year. Bruv. #AEWRevolution
Whew. Ospreay-Takeshita. Take a well-deserved bow. #aewrevolution
I go to a lot of shit. Some might say it’s a flaw of mine. A borderline sickness. THAT was one of the best matches I have seen. 🥱😳😨😭 OSPREAY v TAKESHITA⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AEWRevolution #ChallengeMania https://t.co/w8zAsO4195
That was a helluva match. #aewrevolution
Ospreay vs. Takeshita was phenomenal. #AEWRevolution https://t.co/vZIaHYfilv
Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita just put in one of the best matches you'll see this year #AEWRevolution
And that Takeshita just got his shoulder up at 3.5, Ospreay beating him, but only just. Love it. #AEWRevolution
This is what Takeshita and Ospreay’s necks are gonna look like after that match. #AEWRevolution https://t.co/Syxo1OzZQH
Ospreay and Takeshita are working so well together #AEWRevolution
Ospreay & Takeshita going crazy. #AEWRevolution
Why yes, I do love this match #AEWRevolution
That’s a wild win

DG should've won. #AEWRevolution
This is insane but I love it https://t.co/Jksd0ar4rD
Steve “Sting” Borden is the reason I got into wrestling to begin with. My friend Kevin Zimmerman had a video game, WCW vs NWO World Tour, and I became obsessed with him and wrestling for years. Glad he’s getting his flowers. https://t.co/ToQ4dVyVMk
Sting x Dean Malenko. A main event level star like Sting wrestling competitively with one of WCW’s new wave talents & showing the physical effects went a long way towards legitimizing the modern look & style. A cool one time only match. (11.6.1995) 🌟 https://t.co/9VV3cUEmqh

Today is a celebration of one of the greatest performers ever in pro wrestling. From the first time I held a mic for @Sting at the TBS studios in 1987 to the career making match against Flair in 1988 to watching him doing crazy things in the ring here in AEW, I’ve been amazed at… https://t.co/XnscUgTga3
I've got so many fond memories of watching Sting (Steve Borden) on TV with Dad — pro wrestling was one of the many ways we bonded. I was such a fan that I was greatly disappointed when a "Sting" sign at the hockey arena was instead advertising some singer I'd never heard of.
The fact that Sting went from possibly never wrestling again in 2015 to a full career resurgence that’s led to retiring on his own terms in 2023 is truly remarkable. https://t.co/3hiMDWcnGv
Watching Sting's last match tonight. The first wrestler I ever saw, the one who made me go "what am I watching and how can I find more?" Though there was a gap for a few years, many wrestling fans don't know of a landscape without @Sting. He's a perfect example of pro… https://t.co/tphGhBtjuk
What’s your favorite Sting match or memory?
For the book I wrote about the nWo, I interviewed nearly 100 people, many of them who worked for WCW in the 1990s. Not a single person had a bad thing to say about Sting, especially as a person. Tonight, his final match at #AEWRevolution. I spoke to Sting about his legacy and…

Sting coming out to his WCW theme “Seek & Destroy” by Metallica in from of 80,000 people was one of the dopest things i’ve ever seen in wrestling. I can’t believe it’s over tonight. “It’s… SHOWTIME!” https://t.co/wUKgH9E1To
