Dustin Rhodes against WWE Hall of Famer calling it quits, wants him to wrestle until he’s 100

Dustin Rhodes has revealed that he is opposed to WWE Hall of Famer Sting retiring from wrestling.

The Icon drew the curtain on his illustrious career at Revolution 2024. In a Texas Tornado match, Sting and Darby Allin successfully defended their AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks. In a recent interview, Dustin Rhodes reflected on the 65-year-old legend's retirement.

Speaking on Sports Guys Talking Wrestling, The Natural spoke about Sting's last hurrah inside The Greensboro Coliseum and expressed his admiration for The Franchise of WCW.

"To end it all in Greensboro, which I have fought in many times - and when I was a youngster, me and Brad Anderson would drive to Greensboro to watch the Starrcades and see the crowds. To end it in a town like Greensboro was very fitting and to see him go out there and perform at his age and still bring it like he has, jumping off of things through tables, off of balconies - it's amazing."

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion also shared his desire to see Sting continue wrestling.

"I love him to death and I'm just happy that he did have the perfect career ending and it's so special watching it and knowing that this is it. It's sad, I don't want him to quit, I want him to continue on until he's 100. But, our bodies are not gonna allow that. He gave a lot of love to a lot of people for many years." [H/T EWrestlingnews]
