Former WWE NXT Superstar EC3 recently talked about the unfortunate ending to Sting's match against a current AEW star.
The AEW star in question is none other than Jeff Hardy, who faced The Icon at TNA Victory Road in 2011. The match is known to be one of the most disappointing matches in pro wrestling history.
Hardy's entrance during the match proved that he was in no shape to compete as he appeared to be intoxicated and under the influence of drugs. The referee was forced to throw up the "X" sign during Sting's entrance to the ring.
Executive producer of TNA at that time, Eric Bischoff, was quick to rush to the ring to inform Sting, which made The Icon quickly end the match in 88 seconds by hitting a Scorpion Death Drop on Hardy, and forcefully pinning him for the victory.

On the recent Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws podcast, EC3 revealed how WWE talents found the ending of the match to be hilarious.
"I vaguely remember Victory Road and actually buying it. We were in developmental at the time for FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) and just laughing about how f**king horrible that ending was."
