Darby Allin would rather go through physical pain than mental pain.
Throughout his career, Allin has carried the reputation of being a risktaker, especially during his time with AEW. At AEW Revolution in March, fans have got to witness Allin fall off of a ladder into a pane of glass. At Double Or Nothing, Allin was hung upside down in the ring and superkicked with a thumbtacked shoe.
While speaking to the Friday Night Fights podcast for a new interview, Allin was asked to speak on some of the physical and painful stuff that he does for the love of the game.
"Honestly, growing up, I was a dishwasher. I worked at the 99-cent store. I’ll tell you right now, I’d rather get kicked in the face with thumbtack-superglued shoes than ever work as a dishwasher again. I don’t take any of it for granted. I’d rather go through the physical pain than the mental pain any day."
When asked to name his favorite Dynamite moments, Allin stated that he is grateful to be along for the ride with AEW.
"Everything has been such a trip. It’s so hard to say off the top of my head, but just the fact that I was with the company from the ground level, it’s so awesome to see the first episode of Dynamite and then now we’re at 250, it’s just cool to be along for the whole ride and experience everything. It’s just awesome, and the cool thing about it all is I get to do it on my terms, and everything you see out there is my ideas, and they just tell me, ‘Alright, Darby. Do whatever you want to do.’ It’s really cool that we have that platform."
