Bully Ray & Tommy Dreamer Critique Sting’s Wild Spot On AEW Dynamite
On the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, Sting performed a Stinger Splash off a ladder onto Sammy Guevara and drove the Spanish God through two tables at ringside.
Following the match, Sting cut a promo, noting that he might have lost a tooth during the wild spot and would require some stitches in his lip.
On the latest episode of “Busted Open Radio,” Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer discussed Sting’s reckless spot on Dynamite.
Bully Ray said, “This is an individual thing amongst wrestlers. If Sting felt good enough to go out there and do what he did last night, it’s all on him. Nobody forced Sting to do that spot last night. It might have been suggested, in which Sting can say yes or no, or Sting could’ve suggested it. If I was there, I would’ve given him some different advice on how to dive off those ladders onto the two tables. You never want to shoot for the first table. You want to shoot for the second table. Sammy should’ve been rolled out onto the second table. And, to be honest, it’s not a two-table spot. It’s a one-table spot. If you saw the way Sting landed on the one table, he landed perfectly across Sammy, but then having the table on the other side — the second table — is what Sting’s chin wound up hitting on the way down.”
Tommy Dreamer noted, “If [they] would’ve put the table closer, it’s easier. He jumped out like he was diving into a pool, but you’re not on a diving board [and] you’re not on a solid surface. No matter how many people are holding the ladder, it’s an unsteady surface because it’s on a ring, and a ring will shake. So your jumping point is going to move. I’m glad he is okay. The worst case scenario, he would’ve just kind of like — an old-school baseball slide, head-first into the floor. Listen — scary? Yes. … It is not anybody in AEW’s responsibility, just like Bully said. It’s all on Sting. I love Sting, I salute Sting because I don’t know if at 64 years old, I’d physically be able to [do what he does].”
