AEW star Darby Allin spoke with Flickering Myth on a number of topics, including who is the first person who made him want to become a wrestler.
Allin said, “As a kid watching it, I’d probably say I think like Mick Foley in the Hell in a Cell match. Just because as a kid — it’s funny because as a kid I used to think like ‘oh my god like crazy stunts, it’s so awesome,’ but then when I actually got into wrestling, that’s when I started respecting more of the Dean Malenko’s and the technical wrestlers you know? But as a kid, that’s kind of my goal with my wrestling is someone that’s a non-wrestling fan can be watching me and like ‘holy s**t that guy’s insane,’ but the fans who are actually wrestling fans can be like ‘well he knows actually how to like technically wrestle and he knows how to actually wrestle.’ So it’s kind of fun to catch attention.”
