Lex Luger recently took to his “Lex Express” podcast to discuss being in attendance to witness Sting’s retirement match at last month’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view event.
Luger was one of Sting’s colleagues who attended the show, which is something WWE allowed him to do.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being at the show: “Oh, man, I had such a great time. I know he did. His family was all there in the back and I hadn’t seen his daughter Gracie for such a long time. It was just a wonderful night. I thought that did a great job with [his sons] coming out dressed up like him with the surfer Sting and the Wolfpack Sting.
“It was really fun to be there. I got to actually go out in the crowd. I couldn’t get on camera, obviously because I’m under contract with WWE, but they said we could be there as long as we’re not on camera, which I thought was classy by WWE for us guys. AEW did a good job of keeping us out there. We could actually watch and watch without us being on camera.”
On the crowd reaction to the match: “The crowd response for his last match, they stayed with it. That crowd, sometimes towards the end of the night, no matter how big the last match is, the proud to lose their energy a little bit, but they were up for it. It was phenomenal. A+. Gold star.”
