Popular wrestling announcer Jim Ross recently spoke about how AEW needs to book its top champion. The legendary announcer feels the promotion has a huge opportunity with a major star at the helm.
Darby Allin became the AEW champion on the Spring BreakThru edition of Dynamite. He defeated MJF in less than three minutes with four successive Coffin Drops and a Headlock Takeover for the win. Since then, the star has made it clear that he will be a fighting champion and keep defending the gold until his body wears out.
On a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast, Ross explained that AEW should focus on pushing Allen as the credible champion of the company. He noted that the current champ had a base with fans getting behind him and now needed to get some wins under his belt. The legendary commentator explained that Darby has a unique character and Tony needs to book him carefully to make him a top star in the promotion.
“You got to get Darby Allin over. We hear the people cheering him when he comes out, so he’s got a base. But we need to get Darby Allin over. And quite honestly, this is not any sage advice or some major trade secret but you get him over by him winning for a while. If he’s established as the guy, which he’s not yet, but if he was established, you could be more creative on the creative. But the issue is that he’s just not there yet. He needs to win. Bottom line. Wins are good right now for Darby. Survival, surviving, winning. That’s what he needs to do.” [H/T Wrestling Inc]
