While some fans are turned off by his reckless manner, Darby Allin is currently building himself a sizable, loyal fan base consisting of people of all ages. An example of this would come this past weekend when Allin would meet a heavily tattoed superfan, who has shown her dedication to him by getting his ring name and face tattoed prominently onto their neck. Allin would describe the tattoo as “Wild,” and you can view a brief video featuring the encounter and tattoo below.
Due to his daredevil style and non-verbal charisma, Allin is often likened to Jeff Hardy. However, he also shares many similarities with CM Punk due to their straight-edge lifestyle, love of punk music, and the same “Drug Free” tattoo on their hands. While this would appear to make them an ideal team in AEW, the belief is pair are set to face off in Punk’s first match in seven years, with the former WWE Champion personally choosing Allin as his first opponent.
