Top AEW star Darby Allin spoke with the New York Post on a number of topics, including the company’s evolution:
“There’s a lot more in-depth stories, which is obviously going to happen because we’ve been five years as opposed to one year. And I think the big part is just like character development. A lot of guys on the first year, it was like, hey, like these guys are from the indies, and we know they can have cool matches, but why should we care about them from a character standpoint? Why should we care if so and so can do a 630 or whatever. But now I felt like a lot of people have gotten more time in front of the national TV audience, to actually blossom. There’s a rhyme for the reason now as apposed to just this is a cool dream match.”
