Tony Khan discusses the backlash to Darby Allin’s spot with glass at AEW Revolution.

Darby Allin sparked some controversy in the main event of AEW Revolution, where he and Sting defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship against the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson). In one highlight, Allin jumped off a ladder and went through a pane of glass that was set up on some chairs. Allin cut up his back upon impact, but he finished the match.

Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Tony Khan was asked to discuss the line between what talent talent to do and what he would allow them to do. Additionally, Khan was asked to describe how he looked at risky moves like that.

“It has to be something safe. Whenever a wrestler comes in and wants to try something, especially dangerous, I just want to know that there is a safe way to do it. Darby Allin, every time, he has ever had an idea for a wild highsport or a crazy move, he has had a rationale and plan. Darby doesn’t take these things lightly. Nobody would have attempted the amount of crazy, wild, death-defying stunts Darby has done in his tenure and made it this far unless they are a methodical, organized planner. In Darby’s case, he is fanatical about finding a way to pull off the impossible and do these incredible, seemingly death-defying stunts. He always finds a safe way to pull them off. He always has a rationale for why he is able to do it. That’s what impresses me, the way Darby plans his matches and his biggest moves,” Tony Khan said.
