WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff took to an episode of his Strictly Business podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including who should Sting’s final opponent be in his retirement match.
Bischoff said, โI was thinking about that this morning, actually. Well, there is, but itโll never happen. Nor do I think it should happen, but it would be cool if it would or could. Iโd love to see him and Ric [Flair]. Thatโs a full-circle scenario right there. Ric Flair is the guy that actually put Sting on the map. And I think it would be just awesome.โ
Bischoff also talked about potential opponents for Sting from the active AEW roster.
โItโs not to say that Darby Allin couldnโt be a good choice, or there could be other good choices. Again, depending on the story. But itโs not that there isnโt anybody there that would be, you know, a great candidate. Itโs just that the best candidate, I think would be Ric Flair. But Iโm sure there are others. You know, thereโs a potential in Darby Allin. There could be a great story there.โ
