In the middle of his tour 2025 or Never, Sting Reflect on your career, share what this trip means for him and offer thanks to fans. Does it in a recent interview with Adam Bernard by The Sportster.
► In Sting's words
Lord, a pleasure to meet him.
«Likewise, a pleasure to meet you. Thank you. I am also in the TNA Hall of Fame. In Cauliflower Alley. Many halls of fame, many recognitions. “We are here in Monster Mania, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The 2025 or Never tour. Tell me about the tour, how has it gone so far? How was the experience?
«Man, hopefully one of the boys was here. He was a little while ago. This guy appeared as Surfer Sting. He is making four different sting versions and lacks two more to do. But yes, you have all the people of the cosplay. That is very fun. But do you know what really comes to me? The stories that fans tell me … about being harassed in childhood and how, in one way or another, I helped them overcome it. The vigilant character I think that was what did. And there are so many people … one does not realize, if you did not live it, how many were harassed. And it is something real. In men and women. You have adult men and women, my age, older, younger, in tears telling me those stories. And simply … leaves me speechless. It really amazes me. “
I also tell you that, as a teenager, one of my favorite things on WCW was the Vigilante Sting. It gave me a lot of child, I also suffered bullying. I was overweight, I didn't have many friends, but seeing you every week was a wonderful experience. I just wanted to thank you for that.
«Wow, that means a lot. Once again, I even listen to you … I would never have known. I'm glad you share it with me. “Thanks again. It has been incredible. What has been the most memorable for you outside these conversations with fans that tell you their stories? What has been significant in this tour?
«God… above all that, friends. See my colleagues, of course. Kevin, is right there, Kevin Nash, my old Wolfpack companion. Lex, I see it … I've seen so many of the boys everywhere: WWE, TNA, AEW. It is good to see your old companions, your old friends. Even to old fans as friends too. There was a guy who used to, let's really bother me. It was philadelphia, in fact, and I was always in the front row giving me and giving me. He took me about 30 years to come to Philadelphia. And finally, one day, he said: 'Okay'. And it was like … 'Oh, I finally have your approval after 30 years'. But yes, I think that seeing my friends is the following most important. “This will be the last time that many fans can see you in conventions with war makeup. What would you like to fans that they may not go to these events? What do you want you to know about your experience in general with your career?
«Well, many fans talk about how much the struggle meant for them, how much my character meant for them, as we have been talking. And what I always say – and it is true – is that it was something mutual. They thank me for every year, and I thank them for every year. It was like a double -meaning street. It was a relationship. And I was blessed as much as they were. And sometimes I got angry like them were angry, you know? We have all our emotions, but in general it is incredible to think that there is no sting without the public. “Sting, thank you very much for your time. It is an honor and pleasure to talk to you.
“It's the time of the show.”
