Darby Allin believes his trip to Mt. Everest is going to be like therapy for him.
The former TNT champion will be looking to scale the unforgiving mountain next year. He originally planned to make the trip this year but a broken foot forced him to postpone his plans. The daredevil star, however, remains as motivated for the climb as ever and he continues to talk about it every chance he gets.
During a recent interview with Flickering Myth, Allin was asked to describe a quality about him that might surprise people. The former Champion revealed that despite his psychotic nature, he spends a lot of time meditating:
“People think I’m such a psychopath but I’m saying maybe some people will be surprised that I like to meditate all the time. I think that’s because people are like ‘Oh how can someone be so psychotic and so peaceful at the same time.’
I feel like there’s like definitely a balance that I like to do with my meditation and my psycho-ness but I don’t know. I think a lot of people would be surprised with that.”
That’s The Most Fun: Darby Allin
Darby Allin then revealed that his quest to climb Mount Everest is related to his desire for inner peace. According to him, the prospect of spending a couple months alone with his thoughts is very appealing to him:
“That’s why like Mount Everest is so peaceful, the thought of like climbing it. Because when you’re climbing it, you can’t just talk, you can’t waste any energy talking. So it’s just you and your thoughts for like two months climbing that mountain.
So you gotta dig deep down inside and really pull out who you are. From a day-to-day life, you have all these distractions whether it’s your phone or whether it’s TV or whether it’s anything [else] but when you’re alone with your thoughts, that’s when you really find out who you are.
You can deal with a lot of problems that you have in your head when you just have to bear with it and you can’t distract yourself. So I think that sounds, that’s the most fun thing about Mount Everest – it’s very therapeutic.”
The AEW star also talked about the fan following he has cultivated since joining Tony Khan’s promotion and explained why he doesn’t like being called a superstar.
