Sting Discusses What Wrestlers Are Trying Today
It has one of the longest professional wrestling careers in history. He travelled in various promotions. And he is the wrestler who proved to the world that you do not have to work in WWE to become successful in the world of professional wrestling. Sting did work in WWE but that was way after is prime and he worked only three matches in total.
Currently Sting works in the AEW and he did not extend his contract with WWE. Speaking of AEW, the promotion is going to start new wrestling show called AEW Rampage. They already have two other shows listed by their promotion. One of them being AEW Dynamite and the other one is AEW Dark. Hopefully AEW Rampage would be as big aa the other two.
Sting who is a former six times WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke to The Ringer where he talked about the wrestlers of today and explained how they are trying too hard to gain success. He said;
“There’s just too much going on [in this business]. They’re trying too hard with gimmicks and one-liners and taglines and they’re jumping into it too early to let it all sort of evolve organically and see where that leads.
“As long as you’re not dogging it in the ring and wrestling fans see that you’re out there, balls to the walls, they’re going to appreciate that. And over time, it will elevate you.
“So as a matter of fact, on that, losing a match, losing match after match after match … losing done right elevates, in my opinion. One thing that I learned how to do is I learned how to lose. I learned how to lose in such a way that by the time the match was over, I was elevated. I always tried to put out so much effort during the match that when I did lose, wrestling fans might think it was a horrible thing.”
