The scholars react to AEW Revolution, then recount the unique and enduring career of Sting!

The Scholars talk about how life is getting in the way of their wrestling fandom, and preview what the pod’s WrestleMania schedule will be like. (00:35)

Then the scholars recap AEW Revolution, including talking about Tyler’s attendance at the event, the stellar undercard, the joys of watching Will Ospreay in person, the perils of high spots involving glass, and the perfection of Sting’s farewell match. (04:00)

Then, the scholars look at the outstanding career of Sting. They talk about the dumb luck that got Steve Borden to try wrestling, the early attempts at ripping off the Road Warriors, the early promise of Surfer Sting in the transition from NWA to WCW, becoming the Crow, turning down WWE to become TNA’s ICON, the eventual WWE run, and the surprise AEW farewell tour. They talk about what made Sting so popular, and why Steve Borden feels like a one of one in wrestling. Tyler is put on the spot to try to rank Sting in the hall of greatest wrestlers ever. (31:43)

Finally, the scholars look at what is to come in this soft reboot of AEW. Should the next champ be Okada or Swerve? Is the impending arrival of Mercedes Mone what the women’s division needs to take off? Is now the time for Bryan Danielson to get gold in AEW, and who should he take a title from? Is Dynasty one too many PPVs for the company? And is its name a hint at an MJF return? (1:16:10)
