Jim Cornette discussed the whole Darby Alin injury and the story. And well...Jim is right with how things got silly.
- For weeks people have known Darby was going to go climb Mt. Everest. In fact as Lash points out Darby gave a good-bye speech saying he may end up dying on the mountain as he was planning to leave then.
- So AEW decides to run an injury angle and make Darby wrestle against Jay White for ....some reason. Again....they had literally had Darby announce he was climbing Mt. Everest and was leaving. They didn't need to really write him off TV. Because the guy said , I'm leaving.
- Then Darby in some weird karma way breaks his foot before they ran the injury angle in ring. So now he can't go climb the mountain as everyone expected him too because he's legit hurt now.
- Jim was saying before the injury (legit) that he could understand if Tony was benefiting from Mt. Everest deal by having a film crew follow Darby a bit and film a spot on the mountain to air on Dynamite. He could understand that to get something from it all.

- But yeah this entire situation is just ....odd as hell to run with Darby.
