Eric Bischoff comments on Sting’s upcoming retirement from the ring.
Sting has found a new life in AEW since making his debut in the promotion, with multiple more matches under his belt. Unfortunately, he can only hold off Father Time for so long.
Speaking with co-host Conrad Thompson on 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff discussed Sting retiring. Bischoff noted that he would like to see Sting retire, with All In being an ideal end.
“No, I don’t think we will [see him retire this year] because I think Tony will convince Sting to stick around a little longer if that’s what Tony wants. I understand that. Personally, I’d like to see Sting retire. First of all, he’s gonna be in front of 65-75,000 people. If you’re gonna put a period at the end of the last sentence in the last chapter in your career, go out big. I don’t think that he’ll get an opportunity, maybe, but I don’t know that he’ll get an opportunity to go out in front of a crowd that big. That would be special. If I was Sting, that’s what I would want for my career. But then again, Sting’s doing it because Sting loves to perform. He loves to get out there, and it’s hard to give that up,”

Elsewhere on the podcast, Bischoff stated he was “blown away” by Will Ospreay vs Kenny Omega at Forbidden Door this past weekend.
