Darby Allin got some advice from Ric Flair.
Darby Allin is one of the biggest risk takers in AEW, making a normal bump look like the most dangerous bump on television with the way he bounces around. Many fans and peers have said that Darby needs tone it down so he's not in a wheelchair by the time he's 40. Allin has referenced the concerns on television.
Count Ric Flair as a peer who thinks Darby needs to slow down.
"Ric Flair, a couple weeks ago, he came up to me and is like, 'Darby, you need to slow down.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?' 'You're crazier than Mick Foley.' I'm like, 'Getting advice from Ric Flair?' What's funny is, people don't know how great I feel physically. I feel amazing, like nothing hurts. DDP also, he's like, 'We have to put you in a lab. They have to test you out and see what's going on because you're not human.' I feel amazing. I won't stop doing it. Sorry for anybody trying to give me advice, all the people out there telling me to slow down. I can't and I won't," Darby told Rock 106.1.
Darby previously said that he nearly broke his neck when tossed across the ring by Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
