Paul Wight Says His Career And Pro Wrestling Wouldn’t Be Where It Is Without The Icon Sting

Paul Wight is forever grateful for The Icon.

The legendary career of Sting will officially come to an end in Greensboro at AEW Revolution where he looks to successfully defend the AEW Tag Team Championships alongside Darby Allin against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson in a tornado tag match in the main event.

Paul Wight (FKA The Big Show) discussed how important Sting is to both the career of Wight and the sport of professional wrestling.

“Sting made towns for WCW and became a household name. If you booked Sting in Tupelo, Mississippi on a Saturday night, Sting would show up and do it. He put in the work and became their franchise guy. He became a legend in Japan, too. He’s now an incredible asset for AEW. Sting is a guy who understood what it is like to work against guys who were really good, but the wrestling world didn’t know them yet. He did that for Crockett Promotions, WCW, TNA, and now again in AEW. Sting’s the guy that always understood what this is about. Whether he was getting his shoulders pinned, or getting his arm raised, he made sure the crowd enjoyed the hell out of a match. He never got involved in the locker room drama. When there were problems, he worked through them. For him, this was never about ego. I wouldn’t be where I am without him, and wrestling wouldn’t be where it is, either,” Wight said.

Many legends and fans all over the world will celebrate the illustrious career of Sting as it officially comes to an end this Sunday at AEW Revolution.
