Sting Hired As Dallas Cowboys ‘Intimidation Coach’ (Spoof Video)

dallas cowboys sting intimidation coach video spoof wwe wrestler wrestling football

WWE Hall of Famer Sting stars in a new spoof video put out Tuesday by the Dallas Cowboys… and it shows what things would be like if he was hired to be the team’s “intimidation coach.”

The retired Superstar is shown telling a camera crew that boredom set in after he hung up his boots, so he decided to take a position with the Cowboys in an interesting role.

Best part of the video is Sting walking around doing various office things … like getting held up by security for bringing his bat into the office, chatting with various co-workers and more.

Zeke Elliot and Jason Witten also make an appearance in the footage.
