By all accounts, AEW gives its stars creative freedom in most of the things they do.
Former AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin recently appeared on ‘Insight with Chris Van Vliet’ and would delve into how the company lets him mainly do whatever he wants.
“Yeah it was always the plan. For me to do things on my terms and to get as far as possible on my terms, because money is good, but dignity is better. I feel that I have kept my whole dignity intact on my road to success in AEW, which is amazing. But yeah, this is what I dreamed of, having a ring in my basement and a skate ramp. I have lots of crazy sh-t here, I just bring my friends here and we just do crazy sh-t.”
Darby Allin also went on to mention that AEW has no issues with him skateboarding as a hobby and doing certain stunts, while being mindful that he can’t be too reckless because wrestling is still his first priority.
“They know that I am filming a new skate video right now, and I am about done with it. I’m actually coming out with a Darby Allin collaboration with Deathwish Skateboards, I have their logo tattooed on my cheek. So they are coming out with the Darby Allin skateboard and I wanted to put a video out for it, so they know, and I know my own limits. AEW is my top priority, and I can’t show up to there with a broken hip.”
Darby Allin is set to face MJF at AEW Full Gear this Saturday night. Allin also spoke about the scariest coffin drop he’s ever delivered and why there was no room for error; you can read his explanation about setting up the move at this link.
