Eric Bischoff praised AEW star Darby Allin for successfully reaching the summit of Mount Everest, calling it an incredible feat of both physical and mental endurance. Bischoff revealed he first heard about Allin’s ambition a couple of years ago.
“When I first heard about it, I went, Yeah, you know, I watched a lot of documentaries about people who have attempted to climb Mount Everest. It’s not like, you know something you just decide to go do on a weekend… I told my daughter. Man, I don’t know if I would take that one on, just because the odds of success are so slim, but he did it. Man, hats off to him,” Bischoff said on “83 Weeks.”
He emphasized the immense challenge involved: “It’s an amazing physical and mental accomplishment. I think mentally, it’s probably even more so than the physical challenges, I think, mentally to be able to overcome that everything you have to do to get to that summit.” Bischoff also acknowledged Allin’s own role in his success: “AEW and Tony Khan may have changed his life, but he’s changed it as well, because he’ll take this success and everything it took to get to that success, he’ll be able to take that discipline, that experience and that passion with him and anything else that he does. So hats off to him.”
