Darby Allin Says Chris Jericho Told Him To Skateboard To The Ring, Says He Wants To Wrestle As Long As Possible

AEW superstars Chris Jericho and Darby Allin spoke with the New York Post to talk all things pro wrestling. During the interview, Allin reveals that it was Le Champion who suggested to him to skateboard to the ring.

ALLIN: I didn’t want to make it look like I was taking skateboarding and using that as like a marketing thing for wrestling,” Allin recalled.

JERICHO: He didn’t want to ride the skateboard down,” Jericho said. “I go, ‘No, you’re riding the f—ing skateboard down every night.’

ALLIN: Then I said, ‘S—, I really actually skate, so I might as well actually use it.

The 27-year old Allin then states that Jericho has been instrumental in inspiring younger talent to continue to push for what they want for their character.

ALLIN: 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. It’s insane, I’m not taking anything for granted. That’s why I work as hard as I do and produce as much video as I do is because I want this to last as long as possible. I don’t want it to be a thing that ends tomorrow.
