In a post on social media, WWE and TNA Hall of Famer Sting
announced that 2025 will be the last year that he will be
appearing in full paint and gear at wrestling conventions.
The former AEW Tag Team champion appears in his crow Sting
costume at many conventions during the year to meet
wrestling fans.
“I have enjoyed meeting fans at events around the world. As
much as I have loved interacting with you all in the
traditional Stinger war paint, I’ve decided that 2025 will
be my last year appearing in full gear,” Sting wrote. “I
guess it’s 2025 or never. Wow. Tough to speak that out.”
Sting, who retired from in-ring competition in March of last
year with a final tag match at AEW Revolution, remains with
AEW through a licensing deal.
He first donned the crow costume and paint on an episode of
WCW Nitro in October 1996
