"I'm coughing up blood right now. Claudio, you left something behind. I told everybody, my soul mission in this Continental Classic was to win and to make sure you didn't walk out Champion. This isn't over Claudio. You're gonna get your yours. This isn't over."
Vince Russo believes AEW star Darby Allin has a death wish
Darby Allin is one of the most fearless stars in All Elite Wrestling. He takes enormous risks during his matches like diving on glass or landing back first on the steel steps. The Daredevil proves himself by coming back even stronger after taking these bumps.
In a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Wrestling Outlaws podcast, Vince Russo claimed that Darby Allin has a death wish due to the insane risks he takes:
"I think it's beyond that bro. I've been saying for years. I think the dude's got a death wish. I mean I just do, that's my opinion. I've seen what this guy has done, I've listened to this guy talk. I think the dude's got a death wish. That's just the way how I feel."
The fans will have to wait and see if Darby Allin is the one to take the World Title away from Jon Moxley in All Elite Wrestling.
