Summary

Today's guest is Darby Allin (@darbyallin). Darby is a skateboarder and professional wrestler signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He talks about the obstacles that stood in his way on his journey to become a pro wrestler, how skateboarding has influenced his style, his friendship with Tony Hawk, why he thinks fans relate to him so much, how he created his finishing move "The Coffin Drop", his match with MJF at AEW Full Gear and much more!

It takes less than a minute and makes a huge difference in helping to spread the word about the show and also to convince some hard-to-get guests.
