Darby Allin Provides Update on Sting Following Ladder Dive, Says It Was Sting’s Idea
– AEW star Darby Allin appeared on Busted Open Radio this week and provided an update on Sting after some of his recent bumps, such as taking a dive off of a ladder on AEW Dynamite. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Darby Allin on how Sting is doing right now: “He’s actually doing great. We talked the day after and he said he’s feeling great, which is awesome because I pulled him aside after that match and said, ‘be honest with me, how are you feeling? Not just your mouth, but your neck, every single thing about your body.'”
On how Sting taking those bumps are his ideas: “People forget that he retired in 2014 when he took a buckle bomb. For him to be going as hard. Trust me, it’s none of my ideas. It’s all him. ‘Alright, is there a ladder here tonight? I’ll jump off it.’ A lot of people think it’s me being the bad influence, but no, it’s him. He has that hunger and that want to give the fans something. He’s feeling great and I’m stoked.”
