Tony Schiavone praises Darby Allin.
Since the early days of AEW, Darby Allin has consistently went above and beyond to prove to fans that he's one of the company's top performers. Throughout that time, Allin has won multiple titles and has competed in memorable matches with stars like Samoa Joe, MJF, Jon Moxley, and Swerve Strickland.
On the latest edition of What Happened When (via Ad Free Shows), Tony Schiavone had high praise for Darby Allin, saying that he has the work ethic that every star should have.
“Darby Allin, to me, represents everything that a young man should be. You’ll look at that and say, wait a minute, he paints his face, has tattoos all over, he skateboards, are you saying that’s everything a young man should be? No. I’m saying there’s nobody that tries as hard and puts it all on the line for the promotion more than Darby Allin. Darby Allin has the work ethic that I think everybody should have. I’m telling you, there’s absolutely nobody like him in this business, I’ve never seen it before in my life. I have a lot of time for Darby Allin. I just wish every wrestler, and I’m not shitting on any wrestler in particular here, I just wish every wrestler had the work ethic, determination, and desire to better himself and our promotion like Darby Allin. He’s absolutely a gem in this company. Any match he does, I absolutely love because one, I know what he’s going to give us is all out balls to the wall, sometimes to the point where I’m concerned something bad is going to happen. Also, because of what type of guy he is and whatever he puts into his work. Darby Allin is special, he really is.”
