Darby Allin hopes to inspire others with his daredevil nature.
Last week, All Elite Wrestling held a press conference confirming that its 2025 All In event will emanate from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Upon the completion of this press conference, AEW broadcaster Renee Paquette confirmed that Darby Allin utilized it as an opportunity to scope out potential jumping spots within Globe Life Field. While speaking with Dallas Morning News, Allin opened up about his venture.
“That’s the very first thing [I did] after the press conference, I was just walking around, looking around like, what can I fall off of?” Allin recalled. “To me, going [to] all these buildings, there’s such an aura and vibe to these stadiums. And every time I’m walking in, I’m like, what can I do that will leave a lasting impression? I put myself in the shoes of being a fourth-grade kid. If I saw something, what will I remember for my entire life? Because, with this wrestling stuff, it’s pretty wild how much of an impact you can have on people’s lives. I don’t take it for granted. It’s pretty crazy just how you can inspire somebody and change the whole trajectory of their life.”
Allin Wants To Inspire Others
According to Allin, much of his pre-teen and teenage years involved battles with self-doubt, specifically related to his dream to wrestle. Eventually, though, Allin was able to cast those doubts aside, and officially lace up his own pair of wrestling boots. Now, Allin hopes to inspire others to pursue their own dreams with full confidence.
“If I could help unlock whatever it is in a young kid’s mind to be like, ‘I can do this.’ And if my story helps them unlock that, and then it changes the whole trajectory of their life. All it takes is one person,” Allin said. “So if I’m that one person to help someone change their life, let’s do it.”
“And oddly enough, if it all starts with leaving some crazy memory, like jumping off a scaffold. Having that moment where, like, ‘I was in fourth grade and I saw Darby Allin jump off this and it stuck with me the rest of my life.’ You don’t forget things like that. Too me, it was guys like Jeff Hardyor Mick Foley. You don’t forget that. So if I need to sacrifice myself at Globe Life Field, OK.”
