Darby Allin loves sharing the ring with Sting, but it was never his idea for them to team up in All Elite Wrestling.
Darby Allin was a recent guest on Lost Signals to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about whose idea it was for him to team up with Sting, Allin admitted it wasn’t his idea.
“See, that was never my idea,” Darby Allin revealed. “And I don’t even know because I wouldn’t want to put myself in those shoes. You know what I mean? Like, I never wanted to be the guy that says, ‘Yo, Tony, I got a great idea. Why don’t I become world champion?’ It’s like, no shit, Sherlock. But I didn’t want to be the guy that says yeah, I got a good idea; I want to team with Sting because everybody wants a team with Sting on paper.
“But to be given the opportunity, it just naturally started happening. And then they saw the chemistry that I had with him. And then they just said, ‘Yeah, this is the guy. Darby is kind of like the Sting whisperer in a way.’ And I had a bunch of meetings with them and flew down to his house in Texas and was rolling around in a ring, and I kind of talked him into getting back in the ring live.
“I think we have such a good connection. No one gets to see behind the scenes and stuff like that. So it’s awesome. But I believe, at the end of the day, that was probably Tony [Khan]’s idea just because he saw the chemistry with us. Because, like I said, I would never want to put myself in the shoes of yeah, I got a great idea; why don’t I team with Sting? Yeah, of course.”
