Dave Meltzer on Sting retiring for the 'fourth' time
On this week's Dynamite, Sting announced that he will be competing in his last match at Revolution 2024. This announcement has shaken the wrestling business.
Many fans on Twitter are pointing out that this will be the fourth time The Vigilante will be retiring. Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio said that he retired multiple times before, and this will be his last.
"When WCW went down, he essentially retired, then he did shows here and there for Dixie Carter. And then one year it was pretty much that's it, so he was done. So that was an expected retirement, this was the second one."
Meltzer went on:
"Third one would've been the Hall of Fame speech in WWE, where he retired because of the medical issue, his neck and spinal synopsis and everything. This is the real retirement he's been talking about this for a long time, I'm thinking last year, he was talking about it last year, he was talking about it beginning of this year that it's not far off."
