Breaking News: Sting To Announce Retirement, More Details On Severity Of His Neck Injury

Posted: Mar 17th 2016 By: Bill Pritchard - WrestleZone.com

TMZ is reporting WCW legend and 2016 WWE Hall of Fame inductee Sting is retiring from in-ring wrestling competition.

According to sources close to Sting, the reason for retirement is due to injuring his neck last year, with several doctors agreeing the risk factor for Sting to make a comeback is just too high. Sting was reportedly diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis, which is actually the same condition that forced Edge to retire back in 2011.

TMZ says it?s believed Sting might make the official announcement at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Texas next month, but either way the decision to retire is ?a done deal.? Sting is said to be open to a non-physical role with WWE, but no formal offers have been made to him.
