A biography for Darby Allinhasn’t been written yet.
“When people first heard that me and Sting were going to be partnered up they automatically said, 'Hey, it's the face paint. It's the only thing they've got in common.' If they knew how we were behind the scenes and how we are right now they would understand this is more than just the face paint.”
“I told myself I was going to be a pro wrestler, but I said I was going to do it my way. I burned a lot of bridges sticking to my guns, but I'm being me, 100%.”
“In the eighth grade, I'm the guy who had no real friends. I was such a loner. During school break I would do these weird challenges with myself, like sitting in a walk-in closet and be in complete isolation.”
“I only pay attention to what I think, I really don't care about what anyone else thinks.”
“I'm considered kinda the 'Sting whisperer.' He was supposed to come back for cinematic matches only and I kinda talked him into doing it live, because I was like, 'Man, you still have it.' Whatever it is.”
“If I'm like doing this for a living I'm just going to give it my all, I don't want to be a guy who just 'Oh, just happy to be here look at all the legends I'm hanging out within the legends in the locker room! Like these are the people I grew up watching this is so cool!'”
“Stay humble!”
“I like letting little people into your personal space.”
“Having Sting coming to AEW, having a lot of trust and faith in me, it meant the world.”
“I don't have a TV at my house.”
“I saw a lot of young guys. They wake up, they sit on the couch, and they watch cat compilations on YouTube. They have that comfort zone. Before you know it, it's already five in the afternoon.”
“You've just got to listen to yourself about things.”
“I'm not taking anything for granted.”
“I just watch skating videos. That's it.”
“It's cool when you have someone like Tony Khan, who has a national television company and is letting you take the ball and run with it.”
“You know, I've been around a lot of men in this world that have laid claim to how they're the greatest. There is only one place to really prove that - right here, in AEW.”
“My life outside the ring is almost crazier than my life inside the ring, so I'd like to capture that. I think a lot of people would love to see it.”
“I'm a big fan of all that stuff, which why I tried to bring in Tony Hawk and Steve-O or Travis Pastrana; as much as these guys get me hyped, I want to bring them into the world so that all the other wrestling fans can see what they do.”
“You don't have to have this big ego like, 'Hey, I need to win everything' or 'look at me.'”
“I'm an adrenaline junkie.”
