During a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone expressed his desire to see the House of Black win the AEW World Tag Team Titles when asked about which matches he is eager to watch at AEW Full Gear 2024.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the matches he is looking forward to at AEW Full Gear: “I’m really looking forward to Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy, but the four-way match should be pretty damn good as well. Lot of talent in that ring, and I really have a lot of respect for Brody [King] and Malakai [Black].”
On Malakai Black: “I don’t know if you know or not, but Malakai has a school down in Florida, and I’ve done down there, and I’ve spoken to his students. I like how he approaches teaching wrestling. The guy can do a lot of different great things. I have a lot of time for him. Brody is one of the great guys, and just the House of Black is such a fixture with AEW that I’d really like to see them win the World Tag Team Championship, but we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. Don’t take what I say as far as what I’d like to see as what is really going to happen. [I’m saying that] as a fan.”
During a recent appearance on “The Ethan, Lou & Large Dave Show,” AEW wrestler Darby Allin discussed how AEW allows him to pursue his interests beyond wrestling, training to ascend Mount Everest, and other topics.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On AEW letting him explore his other passions outside the ring: “It’s so cool with AEW is they let me do so much outside of the ring. Cause normally…it’s crazy when you think about. There’s these NFL contracts where if you’re signed to the NFL, you can’t do anything crazy. You can’t go skiing, you can’t do anything. But with my company they’re like ‘Alright man. You can go skate with Tony Hawk, jump off a building with Travis Pastrana. Do whatever you want.’”
On training to climb Mount Everest: “It’s a lot of mind over matter. It’s been pretty crazy. I’ve been doing so much breathing exercises now. I can hold my breath for 3 minutes and 40 seconds. And I’m just mentally training in case I get stuck under an avalanche…But no, it’s some of the most strenuous, hard, training I’ve ever done. Cause I’m so used to crazy, fast, adrenaline. I hate the word adrenaline junky, but it’s kind of like where it’s just fast paced, but Everest training is so slow. We’re walking 15 hours a day like one mile per hour up these huge mountains.”
