TMZ is reporting WCW legend and 2016 WWE Hall of Fame inductee Sting is retiring from in-ring wrestling competition.
According to sources close to Sting, the reason for retirement is due to injuring his neck last year, with several doctors agree the risk factor for Sting to make a comeback is just too high. Sting was reportedly diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis, which is actually the same condition that forced Edge to retire back in 2011.
TMZ says its believed Sting might make the official announcement at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Texas next month, but either way this decision to retirement is a done deal.
Sting is said to be open to a non-physical role with WWE, but no formal offers have been made to him.
So Sting will most probably retire this Wrestlemania due to the neck injury. He is really a wrestling legend. First Bryan retires due to injury and now Sting might. I had even read that Tyson Kidd also might retire.
The thing that disturbs me is that Sting was really underuitilized in WWE. He wrestled only 3 matches. That loss against Triple H at Wrestlemania 31 wasn't the right decision. And then he was unlucky enough to suffer a serious injury. Best of Luck for his future though.
