During a recent appearance on the “DDP Snake Pit” podcast, Darby Allin revealed that Sting’s initial contract with All Elite Wrestling called for him to only work cinematic matches. Of course, that hasn’t been the case as the WWE Hall of Famer has worked many live matches and often performs high spots.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Sting proving that he could take bumps via cinematic matches: “That’s when we got the green light to do me and Sting versus Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky at Double or Nothing. That was his first match back live since the neck injury in [2015].”
On Sting having only cinematic matches written into his contract: “When he first got to AEW he originally signed on for just cinematic matches. We were training at his house down in Texas because he had a ring down there. I just straight up said to him, ‘Man, we don’t need to do no cinematic matches. Let’s do this live.’ I kind of convinced him to think about it.”
