Darby Allin Believes Complacent Wrestlers Do Not Belong in AEW

Darby Allin, known for his resilience and ability to endure tons of pain, has been a pillar for AEW since the very beginning. He is very passionate about his company and that’s why he feels complacent people in AEW should simply leave.

While speaking to The New York Post, Darby Allin talked about how he has grown as a wrestler in AEW over the last five years. As one of the original AEW stars, he started without any experience on TV.

While many of his fellow wrestlers felt nervous and struggled when they began performing on national television, Allin excelled in that situation. He showed he could compete with top wrestlers like Danielson, Moxley, Jericho, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk.

”As an AEW original with no, no TV experience beforehand, kind of got put in the deep end there and just to develop kind of in the deep end. And a lot of guys I feel like that were AEW, originals when they got thrown on national TV they panicked, and I felt like they kind of dropped the ball on themselves. But me, I flourished, and I just really showed everybody that I’m capable of being in there with whether it be a Danielson, whether it be a Moxley, whether it be a (Chris) Jericho, whether it be, you know, X, Y and Z, Cody (Rhodes), (CM) Punk.”

Allin also pointed out that many wrestlers need to be reminded to improve and evolve in their careers. He believes it’s important for everyone in AEW to work with urgency and not become complacent. If someone isn’t willing to keep pushing themselves, he thinks they shouldn’t be in the company.

”A lot of people need to hear that. We have to wrestle with the sense of urgency. We have to wrestle with the chip on our shoulder. We can’t get complacent. Because if you want to get complacent, get lost. Like, I do not want you in the AEW.”

Darby Allin also fought valiantly against Jon Moxley during the September 25th AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam episode but lost his AEW World Title shot in the end. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Allin has a lot of passion for AEW and only wants to work with those who share his passion, so many fans will ultimately agree with what he had to say.
