Goldberg was recently compared to an AEW veteran

An AEW veteran was recently compared to WWE Legend Goldberg, in terms of the heat they receive from fans for seemingly the same action.

The veteran in question is Sting, who has had a distinguished career in the pro-wrestling business so far. Despite his surprising 63 years of age, he is still an active performer in AEW. The Icon has appeared in multiple pay-per-views for Tony Khan's company.

In the most recent appearance at Full Gear, Sting and Darby Allin took on a fight against Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett. The intense battle ended with The Icon and Darby picking up the win. However, this has led fans to question why younger talents like Jay Lethal are being buried by veterans like Sting.

On being compared to the legendary Goldberg, the Twitterverse flooded social media with explanations of why Goldberg was disliked for burying younger stars, while Sting never caught any noticeable flak for it.

AEW Star Sting was recently praised by another WWE Hall of Famer

The Icon's skill in the squared circle were recently brought to attention by WWE veteran Teddy Long.

Speaking on the first episode of One on One with Teddy Long and Mac Davis on Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former expressed appreciation for Sting's expertise.

"Sting, you know like I said, he stays in shape, he stays in the gym, he watches what he eats now, takes care of his health real good. And that's all you got to do man, just starting taking care of yourself as you reach a certain age in life, then you got to cut out some of that stuff. You gotta cut out some of that drinking and all the bad food that you consumed over the years and stuff," Long said. [from 7:38 - 7:57]
