Darby Allin, who is one of the most unique, unorthodox, yet talented wrestler not only in AEW, but in all of wrestling as well and the current TNT Champion recently spoke with Inside The Ropes, where the TNT Champion was asked about being compared to top WWE Star and one of the greatest legends ever Jeff Hardy.
According to Darby Allin, he feels fine about it, but he never searched to get compared to Jeff Hardy and he doesn’t like or care to compare, but if it’s there, it’s there. Darby Allin also said that to him there is always one Darby Allin and one Jeff Hardy.
This is what Darby Allin said:
“I feel fine about it.” “You know, I never searched to get compared to Jeff Hardy, like I never care to compare – but if it’s there, it’s there. But to me, there’s always one Darby Allin and one Jeff Hardy.”
Darby Allin was then asked about possibly stepping in the ring with Jeff Hardy and Darby said that he would absolutely love to step in the ring with someone who is as creative and driven as artistically as Jeff Hardy is and that he would also love to step in the ring with Matt Hardy and just create some art.
This is what Darby Allin said:
“Yeah, absolutely. I would love to step in the ring with someone who is as creative and driven as artistically as he is, I feel like he would always be able to go. Even with Matt, I want to step in the ring with him and just create some art.”
Darby Allin then talked about his tolerance for fear and crazy stuff being so high that what is base-level and what is safe to him may be extremely dangerous to somebody else. Allin also talked about it being shown in his weekly skateboarding videos and with the videos, he can show the world that he can take an ass kicking because if he can kick his own ass, then what makes people think that he can’t take someone else’s ass kicking.
This is what Darby Allin said:
“My tolerance for fear and crazy stuff is so high.” “So what is base-level, what is safe to me may be extremely dangerous to somebody else. So I just sit and it gives me that extra edge because me being a smaller guy coming into the ring and saying I’m reckless or fearless…..”
“I don’t just say it with my words. I mean, I show them every week in videos. So that’s why those videos mean so much to me. So I can show the world that I can take an ass kicking because if I kick my own ass, what makes you think that I can’t take someone else’s ass kicking?”
Darby Allin then talked about wanting to make the TNT Championship one of the most important things in professional wrestling as well as wanting to main event a pay-per-view. Allin then said that right now the TNT Championship is his biggest concern and then main-eventing a pay-per view.
This is what Darby Allin said:
“I want to make the TNT Championship one of the most important things in professional wrestling, period. I want to main event a pay-per-view. That’s a big one. So right now the TNT Championship is my biggest concern and then main-eventing a pay-per view.”
