7. The Sting And Hikaru Shida Bad Romance

Tony Khan is a divisive booker. Some say he's tremendous, mostly, even if his stories can sometimes drag and he is guilty of being too patient and letting dream matches (CM Punk Vs. Cody Rhodes) slip through his fingers.

Others believe he caters for a niche audience or has descended into parody with his constant gauntlets and near-constant interference finishes.

There's no one objective take, but surely, it is impossible to believe that he's done nothing less than a perfect job with Sting. The presentation is nothing short of magic, the party match is an inexplicable blast of excitement that is always perfectly crafted, and the man is unbeatable without beating people who truly matter. It's never a WWE-style result, where a part-timer beats somebody who shouldn't be losing. It's perfect. That's the only word.

A Reddit user disagreed, and posted a different way in which AEW should book him.

Sting should watch Hikaru Shida from the rafters and eventually reveal his love for her. She is creeped out, saying that Sting is gross and has a receding hairline. Surfer Sting? Nah. Crow Sting? Nah. Joker Sting?

No.

Meet Incel Sting!

The legend who AEW somehow has made feel ageless? Make him a creepy old man!

The idea was to programme him with Jungle Boy, of whom Sting is jealous because Shida flirts with him, but in addition to being demented, the idea is also redundant: there's already a guy in his 60s who objectifies the women, and he sometimes does commentary.
