Do not wipe your screens - you are reading that subheading correctly.

Honestly? There's a bit of personal bias in this one, because the dude writing this piece is an unflinching Stinger mark and has been since the ol' WCW days. It's an absolute joy any time the legend rocks out for a tornado-style tag effort alongside his protege Darby Allin in AEW.

The pair go together better than strawberries and cream. To push that a little further, Sting's legacy and how much fun he's visibly having during each match is the cream there. It's sweet to see someone who has done so much in wrestling still smashing it aged 64 too.

Are their matches the best tag bouts of all time? Well, no. They're functional brawls at best, but that's OK. Scraps like the 'Coffin Match' vs. Christian Cage and Swerve Strickland inside Wembley Stadium at All In prove how valuable Darby and Stinger can be together.
