The UK Sun recently conducted an interview with TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting. Below are highlights. You can read the entire interview at this link.
On retirement: “Yes, because I cannot go on much longer,” Sting said. “I donât want to embarrass myself, or embarrass Spike or embarrass TNA. We all know itâs a wave that is coming in to shore. I donât know when exactly it will hit, but itâs gonna hit. I thought probably this year. Actually itâs over the last couple of years it seems the thought has been in-and-out, in-and-out, in-and-out these thoughts of retirement and everything else but under the circumstances I think that I want to stick it out for one last – and this is the last – hurrah. I donât know when it will end for sure, but as long as I stay healthy into 2009. But how far into 2009 I donât know.”
On why he’s never worked for WWE: “There was always something in me that thought that Vince McMahon wanted me more to undermine WCW than he wanted me as a talent. I just always believed that. I saw a lot of guys from WCW that went to WWE and that happened. Anyone who made it to a higher level within WCW and then tried to jump over – it just didnât work. The other thing was that WCW ended up giving me what I wanted in my contract.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
