Darby Allin talks Mount Everest climb

[Chris]

“I’m surprisingly feeling great. I thought, you know, coming back, I was going to be all mangled and shit and it was going to be like snap back — because outside of just wrestling, I skateboard all the time and I do all [this] other crazy stuff. So pretty much as soon as I got back, I was off to a plane to Bahamas to film Shark Week. So it was like a whole thing, but my body feels great. I feel mentally great. And that’s the coolest thing is I’ve learned so much inside within myself on that mountain.”

“A lot of people in the world of wrestling, man, they just chew you up and spit you out and leave you with nothing. And the fact that [Tony Khan] allowed me to do this — I’m so grateful for it.”

“I already feel like I’m the champion of the world. I don’t need the championship belt per se to feel validated because I’m already winning in life. I feel so free and I feel so happy. I was like, dude, I’m just grateful for everything.”
