Sting provides update on his health

Sting provided an update on his health during an exclusive interview with WWE.com Wednesday.

Here are some of the highlights:

On the extent of his injuries, Sting said, "Aside from a stiff neck, I'm a little banged up, but otherwise, I feel good. Pretty standard after a wrestling match."

"I was out in the hospital — like a light. They had a neck brace on me, and they were pumping me with [medication] to get me out of pain. I had to do a CT scan and an MRI. They ended up talking to my wife, and I have some details from my wife, but I still have [further evaluation ahead]. They mentioned cervical spinal stenosis, but that's only part of what I heard. I don't know if there's anything else. The doctor did tell my wife, 'He's going to have to get this dealt with. He's lucky he walked out of there.'"

"Bottom line is, I had tingling, numbness down both arms, all the way to my fingertips. And then, later in the match, I just fell wrong, whatever it was, and this time [the tingling and numbness] went down both arms and into my legs, and I couldn't feel my legs too well. They just felt like rubber. I don't know how to describe it. I had to go down on all fours there for a minute, to get my composure. I was a little … I was worried.

"Long term, well, I'm just going to take care of the short term first and see how the long term might play out."

On whether he will have another match, he said, "Hmmm, in the right scenario … in the right scenario, yeah."

On what happened after he was injured, Sting said, "The referee, the doctor, they're all in there talking to me: 'Are you OK? What's going on? Can you continue? Are you all right? Tell us what's happening.' And the whole time, I'm just thinking, 'Oh, man, not now,' I mean, I want this to be good, you know? And if it ends up being the last thing I ever do in the ring, I don't want to go out like this."

On facing Seth Rollins, he said, "The biggest pleasure. I'm honored. After 30 years and working with some of the best and some of greatest, [Rollins] is, I'm telling you, he's got to be the best I've ever worked with. I mean, this guy has it. And I think he's just scratching the surface on what he will do. I've never see somebody as talented. He's working two [matches] on Raw, two [matches] on the pay-per-view, he's involved in every other segment and it's physical. He's got guys coming from every angle. There's a lot on his plate. He's carrying a lot, and he's handling it. He's proven he can do it. I'm just glad I had a chance to work with him. He's the kind of guy who could be in there with a broomstick and make something very interesting happen, a match that people would love somehow."

"Really, I can't say enough. He poked his head in the ambulance and said, 'Man, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened.' I said, 'Seth, don't worry about it. It's not your fault. And he, for 15 minutes, he said, 'I just wanted to tell you what an honor it was, what a pleasure. I can't believe I had a chance to get in the ring with you and work with you. I was you for Halloween when I was a kid.' He was on and on about it, but man, this young guy, he doesn't have any idea how much I appreciate being able to work with him."
