There is no one quite like Darby Allin right now in the industry, and that’s a good thing for All Elite Wrestling.
Darby Allin recently sat down with Mike Johnson of PWInsider to discuss all things AEW. When asked if he finds it harder to stay hungry after a couple of years with the company, Allin says he treats every day like it’s his first day on the job:
“No, every day I’m ready to push the envelope,” Darby Allin said. “I act like it’s my first day on the job every single day I go out there. I’m constantly hungry. It’s because there’s always people to prove wrong and it’s a very big driving force. So yeah, I have not lost the hunger one single bit.”
Regarding his match with MJF at AEW Full Gear, Allin said a lot was going into that match and felt like he had a lot to prove:
“Yeah. I had a lot going into that match,” Darby Allin said. “I wanted to remind the people, the fans, the whole wrestling world that no matter who comes into AEW, the AEW Originals are going to steal the show. And we did just that. I don’t care what anyone says. You give me the ball, you’re never going to see the ball again. And I took one in AEW. All I needed was a chance. And once I got that chance, I was going to take off running. So going into that match, I had a lot to prove and I felt like I proved just that, and more, so.”
On who he’d like to work with in the future, Allin had two names on the tip of his tongue:
“There’s a bunch of people, but mainly Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole,” Darby Allin said. “People like that, where it’s kind of a test to show everyone that I can hang, and it’s not just hang better than those guys. So it’s a fun challenge to get in there and show people what the hell I can do. I’m down to make the most out of anybody. Because like I said earlier, Darby Allin against anyone, is very much, is a wild matchup on paper. I thrive in showing that you can give me any situation and I’ll make it a damn moment.”
