Tony Khan Responds to Criticism of Darby Allin’s Controversial Glass Panel Spot – During an interview with TV Insider, AEW President Tony Khan addressed the controversial spot involving Darby Allin’s ladder dive through glass during Sting’s retirement match against The Young Bucks at AEW Revolution.
Khan acknowledged the mixed reactions to the spot, which occurred during the Texas Tornado Tag Team Match for the AEW Tag Team Titles, the main event of the pay-per-view. Some critics, including Al Snow, expressed concerns about the safety of such maneuvers, with Snow even going so far as to say, “Someone will die in an AEW ring.”
“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.”
