WWE superstar Darren Young suffered an injury at the beginning of 2017 which has kept him out of action, but that has not stopped Young from being one of the leading ambassadors for the company. During WrestleMania week, Young participated in the Reading Challenges & Be A-Star Anti-Bullying rallies with the children in Orlando, FL.
Here’s what Young had to say when he spoke to TVInsider reflecting on the events he participated in and how some related to his life:
“Not only is being a WWE superstar body-slamming people and doing all that stuff in the ring, we are always giving back to communities. By giving back to the community we try to spread positive vibes. We spread the importance of reading. You learn about different cultures and vibe way better with your family and get a better education. It’s very important.”
“At first I was ashamed to tell people I had a speech impediment, but now I use it as a learning experience to tell kids not to limit themselves. I tell them to follow your dreams and not let any disability hold you down. I’m living the dream as a WWE superstar and an advocate for hope.”
Young Also Mentioned How He Was Impressed With New SD Live Talent Tye Dillinger:
“The ‘Perfect 10’ has really impressed me. I’m really proud of how far he has come and getting the opportunities that he has recently. I’m proud of all the superstars of NXT. The way I look at it is there is room for everyone at the finish line. I want everyone to succeed. There is no better feeling to see those coming up after me succeed.”
