Darby Allin is one of the rising stars in All Elite Wrestling, and he’s quickly becoming one of the most popular talents on the AEW roster.
Allin’s skateboarding entrance has become a favorite among fans, and he and Chris Jericho recently told the New York Post that it was Jericho who insisted he ride his skateboard to the ring.
“I didn’t want to make it look like I was taking skateboarding and using that as like a marketing thing for wrestling,” Allin said.
“He didn’t want to ride the skateboard down. I go, ‘No, you’re riding the f—ing skateboard down every night,'” Jericho added.
Allin also went on to talk about the creative freedom he has in AEW.
“I feel like people like Chris sees that. They know that this kid wants it as opposed to someone who sits on their ass and waits to be told what to do. Half the time, I’m not told what to do and I just make a video. I’ll show up and be like, ‘Yo, put this on TV.’ It’s nice that way. He’s helped out a lot bringing that to the light of day.”
