Darby Allin is preparing for the worst ahead of his attempt to climb Mount Everest.
The AEW star has previously revealed that he intends to climb the famous mountain, and he even brought it up in a promo on the May 24 episode of AEW Dynamite. Allin has noted that he will have to wait until 2024 to make the climb, as it can only be done in a limited window of time.
Speaking on the Drinks With Johnny podcast, Allin discussed his upcoming attempt to climb Mount Everest and noted that he will draft his will in case he dies on the mountain. (H/t Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling for the transcription)
“We wanna most likely document the whole thing (climbing Mount Everest),” Allin said. “Like Discovery, some type of team like Discovery. (We’ve got) connections at Warner and stuff. It’d be really cool to, but I wanna summit it and then sometime next month, I gotta make my will. So if I die on that mountain, somebody will win this guy right here (Allin held up his dog).
“Gotta make the will and then just gotta see where all the dogs are gonna go and the house would go. For whatever reason, if there’s a huge ass avalanche.”
Allin also discussed how he wants to climb Mount Everest to prove he’s capable of doing something crazy. He noted that doing extreme things breaks down barriers and makes him stronger. Allin also explained that he loves AEW because the company lets him do these wild stunts.
“I’ve been doing a lot of meditating and a big part of climbing Mount Everest is to prove to myself I’m capable of something so insane, because it’s just, you know, I don’t know,” Allin said. “My day-to-day life, like doing crazy sh-t, I’ve said in promos before, I like to do the crazy sh-t because it breaks down the barriers in my head. I feel like I get stronger, you know? Become like the final boss of what Darby Allin is. I jump my house, I get bigger, boom. I jump off a waterfall, I get bigger and mentally, I’m breaking down things in my head.
“I’m like, f-ck yeah dude. Let’s go, let’s do it so, that’s why I love the crazy sh-t and that’s why I love AEW so much because there’s no company in the world that’s gonna let me skate with Tony Hawk or jump my house with Travis Pastrana. So I take full advantage of the creative freedom for sure. I feel like out of all the wrestlers in AEW, I take the most advantage of what we can do outside the ring.”
Allin previously said that he wants to plant the AEW flag on top of Mount Everest. Check out his comments here.
At AEW Double or Nothing, Allin will challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship in a four-way match. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs on May 28.
