btw Darby is a loving genius for doing this Mount Everest thing, because I don't think very many people know the difference between the actual peak of the mountain (which he literally, legally cannot attempt) and Everest Base Camp, which is relatively pretty safe.

sorry what? it is not illegal to summit everest. what is the issue with darby? is this like a contractual thing with aew?

I wonder if you need to have a proven amount of experience actually climbing to do the summit cause of the risks involved

Edit: I mean I could look it up online but I have FF7 rebirth to play and am lazy so I trust you people to look it up and not lie to me

You have to get a permit which costs $$$$ and hire a team including local guides, reputable places to arrange this will ask for some kind of climbing experience or proof that you’re at least on the lower end of the ‘is likely to die horrifically if we let them attempt this’ scale and other places will just take your money and have the sherpas drag your rear end as high as they can.

I hear if you clip the base camp just right you can fall through the world and see all the polygons!

Anyway back to hell thread stuff..the rating and tonight's Collision attendance sure does show Tony needs to rethink a lack of promotion for TV matches!

He doesn't have the necessary experience and I don't think he has the correct window to legally climb to the summit.

The season starts in April and the only requirement for a permit he might not meet (assuming he hasn’t already just gone and done it in one of these random training times he’s been away from the company and not made a big deal about it) is having climbed another bigass mountain in Nepal.

He may intend to try and get that done while he’s there and use the power of $$$$ to get his permit at the same time, or maybe you can throw even more $$$$ at the government and just get a permit when you’re backed by a billionaire.

He has the money to be able to summit.

Funny (not haha) fact, the increased permit prices that were meant so that only the dedicated would climb has actually increased deaths because only the executive hobby climbers can afford.

Saw a link someone just posted elsewhere with Darby’s comments on his training

https://www.sportskeeda.com/aew/news-people-coughing-blood-darby-allin-describes-intense-training-ahead-major-climb

quote:

“I flew to so many different countries and so many different mountains I’ve climbed. It’s been gnarly; it’s been so gnarly. I could talk for an hour about what happened on those mountains and how gnarly — people were coughing up blood, c****ing their pants. Meanwhile, I felt completely fine. (...) So, it’s been crazy but, by the end of the training, I finished everything with flying colors, and they told me, ‘You have what it takes to climb Mount Everest.’ So the only thing that’s gonna stop me is either an avalanche or a Yeti."

Sounds like he probably got the relevant experience to tick the boxes, dudes going for the summit :shrug:

I wouldn't want JR to do a whole show but he's great for special matches and sit down interviews so I'm glad he's still around

The funny think with Kevin Kelly is there was a decent amount of rumors that he some heat with New Japan with how he left so he probably burnt that bridge

Did Okada or Tony Khan release or confirm the amount of his contract? I always take any AEW money number with a grain of salt because none of that is released to the public and I think a lot of the dirtsheet writers are full of it

I think Tony wanted that number out there. I think it's absolutely accurate.
