Sting made a surprise appearance last night during the
Collision tapings at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
Following the tapings, AEW held a tribute to Eddie Gilbert,
with AEW President Tony Khan, Jeff Jarrett, Eddie’s brother
Doug Gilbert, Tommy Rich, and Sting appearing.
Eddie, who died in February 1995, was the original booker
for Eastern Championship Wrestling, which later changed to
Extreme Championship Wrestling when Tod Gordon hired Paul
Heyman to replace him after he fired Gilbert.
Sting worked with Gilbert in the UWF where he formed part of
Gilbert’s Hot Stuff International, Inc. faction which also
included the Ultimate Warrior as Blade Runner Rock, Rick
Steiner, and Missy Hyatt.
