Darby Allin Comments on Being Honored to be Part of Final Chapter of Sting’s Career

Forbes held a recent interview with Darby Allin. One of the topics discussed included Allin’s thoughts on being involved in the final chapter of Sting’s career being super important to him.

“When I first got paired with Sting, I really did not know how it was gonna go. But to be a part of the final chapter of his career is super important because to me, in a story, the most important part of the story is the end…If you tarnish the end, everyone’s always going to remember that.
(Sting) has gotten more hunger than a lot of the younger guys on the roster. He’s got nothing to prove, but he pushes the boundaries every time he wrestles.”

Jim Ross Health & Break from AEW Status Update

As noted before, AEW commentator Jim Ross has been on a break from AEW since last week due to him needing to heal up his leg some more from a injury he suffered from a fall incident this past June.

In a recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast, co-host Jim Ross provided a health update stating that he will be away from AEW for at least a few more weeks for his current recovery process.

“Had a busy week at the doctors. Trying to get all these little things taken care of. They’re not little things if you let them go. I’m getting better, I think. I’m still going to be off work for a few more weeks.
My doctor believes that if I take a few weeks off, I’m not sure how many, we’ll see, it’s gotta heal. Being off an airplane for a few weeks will be good for my leg to heal, so what’s what I’m gonna do.”

Daniel Garcia Comments on This Year Being “Contract Year” & Future of His Career

A recent episode of The Walkway to Fight Club podcast featured Daniel Garcia as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Garcia revealing that he is currently in a contract year and gave his thoughts about the future of his career.

This interview was held prior to Garcia’s match against MJF for the AEW World Championship at this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show.

“I mean, the champion is the person who gets to put the company on their back. They’re the one who’s on every poster, every pay-per-view, every TV show, they make the most money. It would mean a lot for me. This is a contract year for me. So I’m doing everything I can to solidify my next deal, where I end up. So I feel like winning the title, it would be the biggest deal in the world for the place that I’m at right now. It would be amazing.”

Garcia also gave his thoughts about how he has only be on one strictly AEW pay-per-view event since Double of Nothing 2022 in May of 2022 and how that has driven him for his goal of wanting to put the company on his back and carry it into the future.

“I haven’t been on a strictly only AEW pay-per-view since Double or Nothing 2022. That’s the only strictly AEW pay-per-view I’ve been on. That’s the only one I’ve ever wrestled on. I’ve been on Forbidden Door, I’ve been on some of the Ring of Honor [events], but that’s the only AEW pay-per-view I’ve ever wrestled on. Like I said, opportunities are hard to come by. I get frustrated and I get mad in a good, motivated way, where I see these pay-per-views pass by. I’m just sitting there, not on them. When I see the intros to the TV show and I’m not on them, when I see the faces on the truck and I’m not on them. So I feel like winning the title, it’s gonna force the hand. They’re gonna have no choice but to put me on every pay-per-view and on the trucks and on every merch, and on everything. I want Daniel Garcia’s beautiful, gorgeous, Hispanic face to be on every AEW-related thing possible. I want to be on Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, Ring of Honor every single week. That’s my aspirations. I’m not somebody that wants to win the title just to say, ‘Look, I have this metal object that I can flaunt around and bring through TSA. I want to be the person to carry AEW into the future, and I want to be the person to put it on my back and lead AEW in the right direction.”
