Every brand can benefit from having a legend. But having just begun operations in 2019, finding one seemed like an impossible task for All Elite Wrestling.
That is no longer a problem. AEW now has their legend, as Sting made a stunning debut last week on Dynamite.
AEW hit a home run on this one. From Tony Schiavone’s call, to Jim Ross’s noting how just seeing Sting made him feel young again, the entire presentation was executed without a flaw. The symbolism was also rich as the segment closed with Sting, the former face of pro wrestling on TNT, staring directly into the eyes of Darby Allin, the current TNT champion.
