As noted earlier, Sting appears on the AEW Unrestricted podcast that just dropped.
During the conversation, he noted that he was pitching hard to do a cinematic style match with The Undertaker but it just "never happened."
Sting also stated that when AEW President Tony Khan called him about coming into the company, part of the pitch would be whether Sting would be interested in doing cinematic matches, which he noted he was absolutely interested in doing as a way to "go out on top" as opposed to the way he exited WWE "with a tail between my legs."
AEW previously released the following quotes from the podcast:
AEW Snow Entrance: “I’ve made every kind of entrance under the sun. I mean, they’ve done everything except shoot me out of a cannon, but I gotta tell you, snow is a first for me. Winter is coming, and it is so cool. I’ve had more people say, ‘Oh dude! The snow! That is awesome.’”
AEW Roster: “Some of the matches that I have seen are the most incredible, athletic, high-paced—I don’t know how many false finishes. They got the crowd rockin’ and rollin’ on every single match it seems.”
AEW Talent: “When I first started, I didn’t want to do and be like the generation before me. I wanted to be different, and I was, and these guys I’m watching do the same thing. They’re different. They’ve changed the psychology, you know, how they tell a story, and they’re good. Very innovative.”
