I always tell Tony maybe I’m the worst businessman in professional wrestling because there’s never going to be a bidding war for Darby Allin. That’s because I love it. I love AEW so much. I ain’t playing games, I’m not going to try and say, ‘Oh, what if I went somewhere else?’ No, I’m just being real. Darby Allin is going to live and die in AEW."
On comparisons to Jeff Hardy: "I’m my own self. I’m inspired by, like, skateboarding, punk rock, all those things, like, action sports. I trust me. I love Jeff more than anybody growing up. But when I made it like actually starting to be a professional wrestler, I never once was like, ‘Yo, I got to be just like Jeff Hardy.’ I was more like, ‘Hey, I got to beat the first Darby Allin.’ And I’ve focused really hard on that, too."
