Sting Offers Thoughts On His Future: Will WrestleMania Be His Last Ride?

stingSting spoke with both Sports Illustrated and ABC News this week to hype his match with Triple H at this weekend’s WrestleMania pay-per-view. The bout will be the first time the “Franchise of WCW” ever wrestles inside a WWE ring, and according to him it may be the last. 

“I’m feeling like this is probably going to be my last one. We’ll see how everyone reacts. If I’m asked to do one more at Survivor Series or maybe even WrestleMania next year, at this point, I would consider it. But realistically, this is going to be my last one.”

On the flip side, Sting apparently thought his in-ring career was over on numerous occasions in the past. At 56-years-old and over 30 years in the business, only time will tell what his future holds. 

“There is a large wrestling audience that doesn’t want to say goodbye to my generation. Guys like myself, Ric Flair, and Hogan, and the fans still appreciate us. And it goes both ways, absolutely, because it’s the same for me. It’s hard to walk away. I thought, in the beginning, my career would two, three, four, five years and then out and done. I never imagined, all these years later, I would still be in the ring and still wrestling. In March of 2001, I thought it was over with. It’s unbelievable how time flies, and it’s still a thrill for me. I want to give my fans something to remember.”
