“The answer is a guaranteed yes. But don’t let Darby fool you. He was never insecure and he was never not confident. Darby is almost overconfident.”

“That spot is available to far more people than we think in every company."
“It’s so much more fair than you think. If you look in the mirror and you say, ‘Hey, I want to be in John Cena’s spot.’ Look at John Cena’s schedule for the day. If you can do it, then perhaps you’re on the path to getting that spot. If you can do it every day, then perhaps you do get the spot. If you can do it every day plus one, then it’s yours. And I think it’s a far more fair business than people think.”
“So 100 percent (Darby can be the face of AEW) but there are other people that I would say that about as well. He certainly shouldn’t be remotely in doubt on whether he could do that or not, but also, like, the stupid climbing mountains and getting hit by buses… You can’t be the face of the company if you’re not relied upon, you know what I’m saying? You can’t wrestle anybody if you’re in a body cast, so that’s dumb. But I say that with love, of course.”
