Family, friends and fellow wrestlers pay tribute to Sting before his final match

Tomorrow night (March 3) in Greensboro, North Carolina, Sting will play his final match.

It will cap an unprecedented career that spans nearly four decades. Sting (real name Steve Borden) worked for most of the major promotions and companies that existed during his career in the business, including WCW at its peak in the late 90s. He was synonymous with the TNA during its strongest period and was enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame after a brief appearance there over the past decade. And when it didn't exactly turn out the way he or his fans imagined, he came back to spend the last three years working hardcore matches for AEW in his 60s.

Despite all of this, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone with a bad word to say about Sting. This fact comes through loud and clear in the many tributes paid to The Icon this weekend ahead of his match against Darby Allin against the Young Bucks. Revolution.

Like that of his son Steven on Instagram:

You were Sting before I was born.

I've never known a life where the ability to rappel from rafters, dive from high objects, and drop people to their death by Scorpio doesn't exist.

But now that day is almost here, and I have never had as much respect and admiration for you as I do today.

There are too many things I could say – I don't know how to sum it all up.

For now, I will just say this.

You did it, dad.

You found a way: For nearly four decades, you put it all on the line. You remained electric throughout.

You did this while teaching me what it means to be a man of character, integrity and courage.

More importantly, you showed it to me – and you're showing it to me now.

Garrett, Gracie and I have more to thank you for than you could ever imagine.

I know you remember my response that day as a kid in Central Park when I was asked who my hero was.

The answer is always the same.

I'm still convinced that you're the coolest guy on the planet.

Now it's time for one last ride. I'm not ready for it to be over, but I'm ready for you to enjoy the sunset.

Until then, I can't wait to see you do stuff with Sting one last time. I love you dad.

Forever icon.

Steven, his brother Garrett, his sister Gracie and his sister-in-law Katelyn are among the voicemails. The Players' Tribune (who also published a excellent letter from Allin to his mentor earlier this week) is collecting.

Here's a sample of others from social media:

Malakai Black's Instagram Story

Dax Harwood:

Finally, taking the time to sit and think about it, Sunday night at Revolution, I'm going to be heartbroken knowing that this is Sting's last match. The matches we had at Arthur Ashe and the one in Greensboro with Punk & MJF are memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

From an 8 year old child to a 39 year old man, he has been a role model for me. I will

I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me and for the lives of my family.

The revolution will be part of history. Thank you, Sting, for what you have given to our company. I hope we can make you all proud.

You can order Revolution and watch Sting's final game tomorrow night via Launderer's Report (and traditional PPV) in the United States and internationally, on Triller TV (and other region-specific outlets).
