Darby Allin says he takes his physical recovery seriously as he will once again attempt to climb Mount Everest.
Back in March, Allin was scheduled to climb the dangerous mountain but it was delayed after he suffered a broken foot.
While speaking with “Levack and Goz,” Allin expressed his desire to keep himself healthy as he prepares for next year’s climb.

On taking his physical condition seriously: “I have to stay pinpoint on my physical recovery because I’m getting ready to train for Mount Everest. I’m climbing Mount Everest in April and I can’t go in there with a bad wheel or a banged up piece of body. Every day, I’m in the ice bath, I’m in the sauna, I have this breathing machine. Everything I can do to stay healthy. Yoga. I do everything. I’m crazy about physical recovery.”
On having to miss the climb this year: “Yup. Two weeks before I was supposed to leave, I broke that foot. It was the most depressing thing ever. Everybody was like, ‘It’s a sign that you shouldn’t climb.’ Hell no. It’s a sign that I should climb next year. We’re coming up and it’s right around the corner. I’m ready to do it.”
Bobby Cruise says he charged AEW President Tony Khan a “ridiculous price” to work the ROH Supercard Of Honor 2022 pay-per-view event.
During a recent appearance on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Cruise explained how charging so much for his initial appearance affected his status with both AEW & ROH.

On being proposed for AEW/ROH: “A former Ring Of Honor talent, I don’t know if he wants this known, who is now with AEW, had brought up the idea of me being their personal ring announcer. Kind of like the stuff I used to do with Steve Corino back in 2003 and 2004, without the language obviously. So I said yeah obviously. They ran it by a couple people and somebody came to me and said, ‘Yeah, I think it’s a great idea, but Bobby, you’re really expensive.’”
On charging so much for his Supercard of Honor 2022 appearance: “I remember thinking to myself, I never really discussed any sort of financial thing. I did Supercard with the amount that was asked and I was very happy with that, very generous. So I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ When the previous owners of ROH were gonna run Supercard that year, I gave them a ridiculous price. People can say I’m Mr. ROH ring announcer, but the way things went down and the way the things had continued to go down for the first couple months of that year. I was concerned with some friends who had bought some new houses and I just wasn’t happy with the way they handled it basically, so I gave them a ridiculous price.
“Well, the people at AEW that I was dealing with thought that it was my price, my per night price. I said, ‘No, no, no.’ So I had to, that night in Boston, clear it up and say, okay, I’ll explain that up the chain kind of thing. I said, ‘Oh no no, that was the price for the old ownership. This is completely different.’ That was kind of funny but it was almost scary. If they wouldn’t have asked me, maybe they wouldn’t have continued to use me just thinking I had this ridiculous price in mind.”
