WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bishoff recently opened up about former WCW World Champion and current AEW star Sting.
The 64-year-old wrestler came out of retirement in 2021 at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view. Since then, the wrestling legend has been competing in AEW on a regular basis.
The Icon recently announced that the time is nearing for him to hang his boots. He revealed that his final match will be at the same pay-per-view that he came out of retirement in at 2024.
During a recent episode of Strictly Business, Eric Bischoff shared his thoughts on Sting.
“Happy for him. I think anytime somebody who has been in the public eye, and in a career like professional wrestling in particular, has an opportunity to end their career the way they want to under their own terms, that’s always a great thing. I’m happy for Steve Borden, I’m happy for the fans who’ve been a fan of the character Sting for a long time. When it plays out really well and is all said and done, Steve Borden is sitting on a rocking chair in Dallas, Texas watching the sun set, where he can look back at this part of his career and smile, because that’s what it’s all about,” Eric Bischoff said.

Bischoff also believes that despite Sting’s retirement tour, AEW will not see a rise in ratings.
“Hard to say, depends what they do. What’s the build up look like, is there a story leading up to it, how much promotion does it get, how much attention does it get? Remains to be seen. Do I think it can? Absolutely I think it can. Do I think it will? Who knows, we’ll find out.” [H/T Fightful]
