On the Keeping it 100 podcast with Konnan, the host asked Aldis about Sting’s behavior backstage. He mentioned that Sting is a born again Christian, but it didn’t affect his behaviour.

“I obviously had a good relationship with Steve in TNA, and he did a lot for me over there. But, you know, he’s not one of those guys that’s going to be, you know, he doesn’t over share. It’s not like he’s going to sit there and sort of say all the stuff, but every now and then he would sort of make reference to like ‘back when I was young and dumb kind of thing’.”

Aldis’ relationship with Sting reflects how kind the veteran was to a young up-and-coming talent. Aldis continued, “Terry Taylor would always reference like ‘hey, you know back in the day he was a wild man’, kind of thing. So I was always curious to hear that because it was like, I always wondered if he mellowed out.”

“To me he’s always just been such a great guy, like just so chill and so kind of calm and you know polite and nice to everyone. It’s hard for me to imagine that he would be that different.”
