Eric Bischoff has expressed surprise at Sting’s decision to continue wrestling in AEW, despite his age. Speaking on his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff stated,
“I was surprised that Sting wanted to work again in the ring. [He’s been] doing it a long time. Same with Jeff Jarrett. I admire the hell out of Jeff Jarrett and certainly Sting for the same reason.”
Bischoff acknowledged the physical challenges and commitment involved in wrestling at that age. He said,
“It’s one thing when you’re in your 30s or 40s or even early 50s and get in there and do what Jeff and Sting and others are doing. It’s physically tough and the process — it’s a big commitment.”
While he was startled by the risks the ‘Stinger’ often takes, including diving off stages and balconies, Bischoff expressed happiness for the WWE Hall of Famer pursuing what he wanted. He said,
“I was happy for him. He was doing something that he wanted to do. What’s he doing? What’s in the water down there in Texas, Steve? I wanna move there.”
