"He's probably having his best time out there" - WWE legend gives his honest opinion on Sting's run in AEW
Booker T frankly stated that while Sting is having his best time in AEW, the latter taking dangerous bumps might affect his body in the long run.
Even in his 60s, Sting has featured in multiple high-risk spots, especially jumping off high places. At Revolution 2022, he leaped from a balcony onto Andrade El Idolo through three tables. Meanwhile, The Icon also made a grand entrance by jumping from the top tunnel onto his Bullet Club opponents at the Forbidden door event.
Sting has a renewed energy in AEW, and Booker T discussed the same on The Hall of Fame podcast. While the veteran said The Icon was having fun, his body might have difficulty dealing with pain from the gruesome bumps.
"I'm not gonna hate on Sting out there, living his dream in that ring. I mean that's WCW man, it's like WCW Saturday Night for Sting right now. He's probably have his best time out there doing that man. But I tell you, it's gotta be hard, it's gotta be hard on the old body, for someone like Sting, especially jumping off stuff like that," Booker said. [From 33:55 - 34:20]

"There's no way you can jumpin' off something and even with those guys catching him, he's not gonna wake up the following day going 'What the hell was I thinking?' But, to willed himself to go out and wanna do it again, just lets me know he still got a passion for it, so you know, more power to him," Booker stated. [From 34:39 - 34:59]
