Thank You STING!

 




March 3rd 2024 
Greensboro Coliseum 
Greensboro, NC

Former NWA/WCW World Heavyweight champion and current AEW World Tag Team champion (w/Darby Allen) had the last match of his storied career.   The tag team titles were on the line against the Young Bucks (former champions) and was no DQ match that saw all 4 men try to destroy each other.  However, Sting (Steve Borden) along with his sons and Darby Allen managed to retain the titles much to the crowds extreme delight.

Wrestling Magazine Cover of the Week

 This magazine was one of my favorites back in the 80s when I subscribed to 4 magazines: PWI, The Wrestler, Inside Wrestling and Sports Review Wrestling.  I was going to subscribe to Wrestling Eye, but they went out of business before  I could.
