Darby Allin believes people shouldn’t idolize famous people and focus on becoming the best version of themselves instead.
The former TNT Champion recently spoke to Flickering Myth for a new interview. He discussed things such as his motivation for climbing the Mount Everest, being part of the 2024 Continental Classic tournament, and more.
In just a few short years since his arrival in AEW in 2019, Darby has become one of the most loved stars of the wrestling world. He has a dedicated following with a lot of young fans who look up to him. During the interview, however, Allin explained why he doesn’t like being called a superstar despite people seeing one in him:
“I always tell people don’t refer to me as a superstar because I think that’s some bullshit term. Because I feel like it teaches people to praise false idols and people that are like…I don’t know man, I think you shouldn’t put so much stock into another human being. You should do good with yourself.”
I’m One Of You: Darby Allin
The former champion explained that he wants to be seen as a common person in order to motivate people to believe in themselves:
“You should focus on being the best version of you possible as opposed to trying to constantly live vicariously through other people. So my message I want to tell people more than anything is I’m one of you.
I don’t pretend to be some bullshit dumb fuck superstar. I want to just be like a humble guy and then be like ‘Yo man I’m just like you.’ You can do whatever you want too.”
Darby Allin defeated Komander in a gold league match of the C2 tournament but got beat by Brody King. He currently has 3 points in the tournament. Allin is scheduled to face Will Ospreay on the December 18 Dynamite.
