"That’s not normal behavior!" - Vince Russo blasts AEW stars, says, "It's all sadomasochism" (Exclusive)

WWE veteran Vince Russo recently had harsh words about a few AEW stars. According to him, a particular set of tendencies suggests that some of the All-Elite stars may have patterns of sadomasochism.

AEW stars are known to be quite daring in their movesets. Added to the fact that a large section of them are high-fliers, this makes for some spectacular spots during the shows. However, some of these spots seem to take it to the extreme, with the risk involved being too much for many.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws, Vince Russo talked about how a few stars almost made it seem like they had problematic mindsets. He took the example of Darby Allin, who is planning to climb Mt. Everest, as an example.

"These guys, they are doing stuff that they do on the indie scenes, GCW, whatever it is. Bro, it's all sadomasochism. That's what it is. They have a fetish for sado... When you are sitting there cutting yourself open, cutting your opponent open, trying to figure out every which way to bleed, you have an issue there. That's not normal behavior. There is definitely an issue there," Russo said. [2:44 onward]

The WWE veteran thinks the AEW star has a death wish

According to Vince Russo, Darby Allin does not care much about his life, judging by his actions.

On the same episode of The Wrestling Outlaws, Russo stated his belief that the AEW star may actively be trying to get himself killed.

"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," he stated.

For now, only time will tell what Darby plans to do next in AEW.
