Darby Allin injured in Dynamite match, Mt. Everest climb postponed

If you watched Darby Allin’s match against Jay White on the “Big Business” edition of AEW Dynamite this past Wednesday (Mar. 13), you won’t be shocked to hear that Allin was injured in the course of it. Heck, that’s true of pretty much any Darby match — while he’s said to be as safe as possible with his daredevil style and smart about his crazy spots, there’s still a lot of risk involved.

Dangerous Darb’s taking all this in his typical style, telling TMZ that Tony Hawk is going to do a skateboard trick off his cast to raise money for charity.
