Tony Khan Names The Only Time He Questioned If Darby Allin Respected The Risk He Was Taking

Tony Khan names the only time he questioned if Darby Allin respected the risk he was taking on a major spot in professional wrestling.

Throughout his time in All Elite Wrestling, Darby has been no stranger to taking dangerous bumps. This includes major matches, like Sting’s final bout where he would dive from the top of a ladder to the outside, shattering through a sheet of glass.

While speaking to ESPN in a new interview, Tony Khan spoke about allowing Allin to do these spots and stunts in his spare time. Khan would also name the only time he questioned if Darby respected the risk he was taking on a spot.

“I do believe in letting the wrestlers live their lives because wrestling is the only sport that goes 52 weeks a year with no offseason,” Khan said. “If a wrestler comes to me and they want to do something outside of the ring, usually it’s trying to slow down and spend time with their family … not necessarily something that brings the element of more physical danger into their lives. But I trust Darby because his risks are calculated and he respects danger. Except that time with Sting when he went through the glass. That’s the only time I questioned if he respected the risk he was taking.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Darby spoke about The Hardy’s influence on his pro wrestling career. You can read more about that here.
