WWE Hall of Famer Sting made an appearance on ESPN with Jonathan Coachman during WrestleMania 32 weekend and discussed the reason why he announced his retirement. Here are some highlights and a video of the appearance:
On His Neck Injury: “It was Night of Champions against Seth Rollins, last year, September 20th 2015 in Houston, TX it was a weird deal I don’t know what happened. There was like a whiplash that happened two times during the match. The first one was shock and numbness down the fingers, and I’ve had that before, but this was pretty severe. The second time it happened I lost control of my legs. Long story short, I have spinal cervical stenosis in two areas of my neck mad there is two spots where the issues I and the neurologist said that I was lucky I walked out of there.”
On The Decision to Retire: “It was a difficult moment for me, because you have the crowd chanting ‘one more match’ and I wanted that one more match. But it’s time for several different reasons, but it was hard to do after 30 years.”
