As TNT Champion, Darby Allin is currently the cable television channel’s face and one of AEW’s breakout stars. Fans have compared him to Sting, Jeff Hardy, and CM Punk due to his look, daredevil in-ring style, and straight-edge lifestyle. Now speaking to Forbes.com, Allin has revealed that he is looking to be his own man and purposely chooses to not watch wrestling because he doesn’t want it to influence him.
Allin’s decision is unconventional because wrestlers typically study other wrestlers’ matches and angles to help shape their careers, but Allin is anything but typical. This is evident because he opted to make himself homeless, choosing to live out of his car to motivate himself. In addition, his name partly came from GG Allin, an outrageous punk musician who was known for his nonconformity.
