WWE Hall of Famer reacts to Sting's dive at AEW Revolution

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has heaped a lot of praise on former rival Sting and good friend Andrade El Idolo for their performances at AEW's Revolution pay-per-view.

The two men competed in a Tornado Trios match at the event, with The Icon teaming with Darby Allin and AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara. Meanwhile, Andrade teamed up with fellow Andrade Hardy Family Office stablemates Matt Hardy and Isiah Kassidy.

During the match, The Vigilante dived from a balcony onto a prone Andrade, who was lying on a stack of tables. The Trios match was widely viewed as one of the least buzzworthy bouts on the card ahead of the pay-per-view. But the legend's incredible dive ensured that the contest stood out on Sunday night.

One viewer who was a big fan of the match was Ric Flair, who took to Twitter to lavish praise on both The Icon and Andrade for their remarkable moment at AEW Revolution.

Nature Boy and The Icon were heated rivals in companies like the NWA and WCW, and they famously competing in both the first and last episodes of WCW Monday Nitro in 1995 and 2001.

The 62-year-old legend continues to deliver show-stealing performances. In doing so, he boggles the minds of fans around the world. The Vigilante has put on some of the best matches of his career (or at least his most recent years) while performing in AEW.

At AEW Revolution in 2021, he and Darby Allin defeated Brian Cage and Ricky Starks of Team Taz in a cinematic-style street fight. Since then, the pair has competed in some spectacular tag team matches against the likes of FTR & Men of the Year.
