A legend says farewell after receiving the biggest honour in the WWE.
Sting – one of the biggest legends in WCW and WWE history – has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, before promptly announcing his retirement from wrestling.
The 57-year-old hasn’t had a match since suffering a serious injury at Night of Champions in 2015, which has led him to the big decision.
Have a watch here at the moment he made the announcement in front of packed crowd of his peers and fans.
