Sting’s debut on AEW Dynamite Winter Is Coming took the pro wrestling world by storm. He signed a multi-year contract with the company and it seems he will have a variety of roles.
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross talked about just how involved Sting will be in AEW. Ross noted that Sting will have a creative as well as an on-screen role. Sting does not have to wrestle every week to accomplish what he needs to.
“Having Sting coming to AEW for the first time, what’s really going on? What’s really going on is Tony Khan reached out, hired Sting to a multi year deal. He’s going to have a variety of roles, I don’t know what they are exactly but they will be in a creative capacity where he’s a character on television. There’s a lot of ways to be a character on T.V. thats been accepted by the audience nowadays that doesn’t include wrestling a match every week.”
“I don’t think anybody should wrestle a match every week. I think it’s a kiss of death, you want to keep your talent fresh and you don’t want to over expose them. There’s a lot of things Sting can do. These conspiracy theories, they’re rampant. We all thrive on this sh*t. ‘What’s the dirt?’ I don’t know. If you come back in 20 minutes I’ll create something for you.”
We will have to see how Sting will be booked in the company, as he is going to stay there for a long time.
