In a recent interview with TV Insider, All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan discussed several topics, including the criticism of Darby Allin’s glass spot during the AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
“It has to be something safe. Whenever a wrestler comes in and wants to try something, especially dangerous, I just want to know that there is a safe way to do it.
Darby Allin, every time he has ever had an idea for a wild highspot or a crazy move, he has had a rationale and plan, Darby doesn’t take these things lightly, nobody would have attempted the amount of crazy, wild, death-defying stunts Darby has done in his tenure and made it this far unless they are a methodical, organized planner.
In Darby’s case, he is fanatical about finding a way to pull off the impossible and do these incredible, seemingly death-defying stunts, he always finds a safe way to pull them off, he always has a rationale for why he is able to do it. That’s what impresses me, the way Darby plans his matches and his biggest moves.”
