Professional wrestling sometimes limits many wrestlers to change their way of in-ring style as per age. Several wrestlers even change their styles as they age and focus more on staying on the ground rather than diving moves. However, that isn’t the case with one of the legendary professional wrestler, who has wrestled in almost every promotion and is 63 years old now.

On the recent PPV of AEW Full Gear, WWE Hall of Famer Sting once again proved why he is called ‘The Icon’. Irrespective of his age, the WCW legend once again did a risky diving move. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal vs. Sting and Darby Allin took place at AEW Full Gear 2022. The match quickly started at the entrance ramp when Allin attacked Lethal and the fake Stings with his skateboard. Meanwhile, the Icon stood behind Jarrett and started the match quickly.
The brawl went into the crowd. Surprisingly, Sting once again did the unbelievable dive he is famous for in AEW now. Satnam Singh tossed Darby onto the stage and then went over to Sting and Lethal. Singh caught Lethal off the platform, but Sting quickly took Singh down with a dive from the crowd area.

At 63, Sting is able to catch up with the pace of Allin during the tag matches. This is a sign of how much he has still left in the tank and is ready to do what it takes.
