WOR: A reminder that Sting is 64 years old

Sting did another dangerous spot on Dynamite just days after a six-man tag at Forbidden Door went wrong.

On Wednesday’s show, Sting set up Sammy Guevara on the floor on top of some tables. He then proceeded to climb up the ladder and leap off, barely hitting half of his target. And not only did he barely get to first table, his face connected with Guevara’s knee on impact. Sting said after the show ended that he had a loose tooth and he’d likely need a lot of stitches.

Alvarez noted the idea was when Sting first came in, he’d only do cinematic-style matches. 

“Well now this guy’s out there doing all this crazy stuff every single match,” he said.

Meltzer thought that so many moves like Sting’s are being done on such a frequent level, it’s no longer that surprising.

“Years ago something like this we’d talk about for a month. But the thing is it’s so overdone, it hurts, it’s dangerous, you forget about it. The next day they don’t even care,” he said.

Meltzer wondered why people like Sting and Jeff Hardy, both older wrestlers who are banged up, continue to do risky and dangerous moves despite them not really needing to do them at this stage of their career.
