Comments

For Darby, what do you see as the next step for you career, aside from AEW World championship gold? Is there something you’d like to do outside of wrestling a little more?

Ty Jans

For Darby, How does it feel for you to be mentored by The Icon, Sting? What has he taught you and what advice has he given you about the business?

Vicki Langteau

For Darby - What is your why? Why do you love professional wrestling? What motivates you to go to work every Wednesday?

Question for Darby - Does he plan on doing anymore matches in Defy in the future?

FWPJR.

Question for Darby - Among my own personal wrestling friend group, Darby is kind of a polarizing figure. He's super entertaining in the ring and on screen, but he's had a really questionable past. Darby has a pretty public and well-known history of abusive behavior towards people in vulnerable situations. He's gone on record telling stories about paying a guy to do "Jackass"-style stunts so he could pay the courts, paying an addict to do some really demeaning acts, and various things of that nature. This seems to mostly be from before he hit it in pro wrestling and I understand there's a whole edgy/punk/whatever lifestyle involved, I'm not trying to crucify him for those things he did a long time ago. My question is - now that he's tasted success and is doing well for himself, how has he made up for these previous deplorable and inhumane acts? Has he made any effort to find the people he's wronged in the past and provide any meaningful help to them? If not, does he plan to, and if so, how?

Darby question: With all your Travis Pastrana style death defying stunts, how do you start the process of following up each one even bigger and better than the last in the same vain?
