Despite Criticisms, Tony Khan Hailed for Booking 65-Year-Old Sting’s ‘Judicious’ AEW Career by WWE Hall of Famer

Wrestling fans recently saw Sting wrestle his final match at the beginning of March 2024. The wrestling legend retired following a well-deserved victory. Although Tony Khan is criticized for many of his decisions in AEW, he is praised for handling Sting’s final career run well enough to keep it memorable. Recently, he was praised by a WWE legend as well.

Talking about the ex-WCW star’s AEW run, The Undertaker also talked about the role that Tony Khan played in keeping things interesting. While Khan could have used Sting more than he did, he tried to use him ‘judiciously’.

Tony Khan’s way of handling Sting’s career gets acknowledged

After years of hiatus due to a severe injury, Sting returned to the wrestling ring after signing with Tony Khan’s promotion. He was eventually paired with Darby Allin. The two had several adventures together in the company. According to Mark Calaway, it wouldn’t have been possible if Tony Khan had overly used Sting’s potential.

On a recent episode of Six Feet Under, Taker said, “He was booked judiciously. He wasn’t put in situations where he may have got exposed and not be able to keep up with the younger talent. It was probably him because you have to understand your limitations.”

The Undertaker further appreciated the decision by shedding light on the fact that Darby Allin’s involvement was a good move. While there could have been many singles matches to include Sting in, he was a good fit with Allin.

Before his farewell match in AEW, another WWE Hall of Famer talked about Darby Allin’s role in making Sting’s final wrestling run memorable. The boy who grew up watching the legend on screen finally got the chance to pair up with him.

Days before Sting arrived in an AEW PPV to perform for the final time, Booker T sat down on his podcast to talk about the former WWE star. Despite the brief moment that Sting served in the Stamford-based company, the Hall of Famer only had good things to say about him.

Moreover, the RoW promoter also credited Darby Allin for working in sync with one of his childhood heroes to let him shine through his final wrestling run. According to Booker T, Darby Allin’s work with Sting will go down as a memorable wrestling run in the legacy of the legend.
