Darby Allin isnt just AEWs resident daredevilhes someone who needs the danger.
During an interview with the 3NT Wrestling YouTube channel, Allin opened up about his extreme mindset when it comes to performing stunts, admitting he thrives when there are fewer safety precautions involved.
When asked if he ever pitched ideas that AEW rejected, Darby confirmed its happened several timesespecially during the pandemic when the roster was already stretched thin. One particular idea was flat-out shot down, Yeah. Get hit by a car. That set the tone for Darby to explain his entire philosophy toward stunt work and safetyor the lack thereof.
According to Darby, the more structure involved in a stunt, the worse it throws him off. He feels most locked in when things are unfiltered and raw.
He credited years of reckless skateboarding and a life filled with high-impact chaos for training his brain to handle that kind of risk. He doesnt just tolerate the dangerhes wired for it.
Even the hosts admitted they werent expecting that level of commitment. But for Darby, this isnt about playing a character. Its about being himselfregardless of the consequences.
Whether its taking brutal bumps through glass, wrestling with visible injuries, or nearly climbing Mount Everest while still healing, Darby Allin isnt looking for safety nets. Hes looking for the next cliff to jump offliterally and figuratively.
Do you think AEW should give Darby even more freedom with his dangerous stuntsor is it time to slow him down? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
