Hip-hop mogul Diddy revealed that he pays Sting $5,000 per day for sampling the Police frontman’s 1983 hit Every Breath You Take on his own 1997 song I’ll Be Missing You. The admission came after a 2018 interview with the Breakfast Club resurfaced, in which Sting confirmed that he receives daily payments from Diddy “for […]

After watching both members of the Young Bucks, Nick, and Matt Jackson, get ambulanced away in the opening moments of AEW Dynamite, fans were treated to an incredibly fun six-man tag of Kip Sabian, The Butcher, and The Blade versus Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, and The Man Called Sting, the 37-year WCW/TNA/WWE vet who recently […]

After securing a hard-fought win over Buddy Matthews with a little help from Ortiz and Sting, a clearly beaten-down Darby Allin had an interview scheduled with Tony Schiavone to discuss how it felt to secure four-straight title defense wins of the TNT Championship. Unfortunately for fans in the arena and watching from home, Allin didn’t […]

When Darby Allin has a strap in AEW, you just know he’s going to defend it like a proper fighting champion should. Currently in his second reign with the TNT Championship, Allin has defended the title three times since he won it in his home state of Washington before the final Dynamite of January, with […]

Though he’s only worked 13 matches in an AEW ring since debuting for the company at Winter is Coming 2020, there are few wrestlers in either of Tony Khan’s companies who have as much inert star power as “The Icon” Sting. A big, bruising performer who has been working professionally for every mainstream wrestling company […]

When AEW announced a match of Sting and Darby Allin versus Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett with Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh on the outside for Full Gear, it wasn’t exactly the most anticipated match on the card. Sure, any time Sting enters the ring, its a treat, as he has way fewer matches left […]

Jim Cornette has an… interesting relationship with AEW. On one hand, the long-time wrestling personality appreciates that WWE finally has a true competitor and has pointed out how Tony Khan’s promotion has brought more wrestling to RAW and SmackDown, which is always nice, but then again, many of the core tenants of AEW and by […]

When Sting debuted in AEW at Winter Is Coming in December of 2020, it felt like a massive deal. Sure, that particular show was always going to be a big one, as more than a few fans had a feeling that Kenny Omega was going to take the strap off of Jon Moxley to begin […]

When Darby Allin and Sting’s match against the newly Malakai Black-less House of Black duo of Brody King and Buddy Matthews came to an end, things weren’t looking too good for Tony Schiavone’s favorite male wrestler. After being seemingly taken out of the match by a pair of Julia Hart handcuffs, Sting had to watch […]

Malakai Black and AEW reportedly have issues. Rumor has it the proprietor of the House of Black has asked for his release for a litany of reasons, including for how he’s been booked, and after almost having to retire due to a long-standing back injury, the prospects of Black’s time in AEW potentially coming to […]

When Ric Flair announced that he was going to take part in one more professional wrestling match, 14 years removed from his WWE retirement match at WrestleMania 24, it left a bad impression among more than a few fans of the sport. Sure, “older” wrestlers are working matches with increasing frequency, with 63-year-old Sting wrestling […]

Anytime Brody King and Darby Allin find themselves in the same AEW ring – or a Zumiez in the Pacific Northwest – you know it has the potential to get violent. I mean, we’re talking about a man who defeated Allin not with a Gonzo Bomb but a choke off the side of the ring […]

A lot happens at an AEW show when the live Dynamite cameras stop rolling. For one thing, the promotion has to film AEW Dark Elevation and Ramage – unless it’s a week where Rampage happens live – with some other recorded segments being put together before or after the show kicks off too for good […]

The Young Bucks haven’t been associated with the Bullet Club since January of 2019, when they officially left New Japan to join the company they helped to start alongside Kenny Omega, Tony Khan, and… some other guy: AEW. And yet, you can take the Bucks out of the Club, but you can’t take the Bullet […]

Unfortunately, the hits keep on coming for Forbidden Door, as, just 24 hours before the big event, AEW has announced that two more performers, Hiromu Takahashi and Hikuleo had been removed from the card. Now granted, the duo are unavailable for very different reasons; Takahashi reportedly has a fever and was unable to travel from […]

The Bullet Club and The Young Bucks; the wrestling equivalent of peanut butter and chocolate. On their own, both are great; peanut butter is one of the best flavors ever created, and as for chocolate? Well, you can have chocolate on its own or with just about anything else, and it remains good. So naturally, […]

Before he was a member of the AEW roster, Darby Allin’s tag team partner, or even had a proper WWE match on his resume, the Man called Sting was a fixture of Impact Wrestling, or as it was called then, TNA, where he wrestled from 2006 through 2014. Over his time in the promotion, Sting […]

AEW star and pro wrestling icon Sting made his return to AEW television on Friday’s edition of Rampage. The 63-year-old made his return following the main event match of Darby Allin vs. Bobby Fish. Allin defeated Fish in the match. In the aftermath, Fish’s tag team partner Kyle O’Reilly came out to attack Allin. The […]

Sting has been making a comeback in AEW and in pro wrestling. The legend of the game is set to return to Greensboro where he performed in 1998 against Ric Flair. Sting spoke to Sports Illustrated about coming back to AEW and what it means to him. He’s proud to come back to a legendary […]
