Darby Allin says WWE is like singer Taylor Swift while AEW is like the band Slayer
During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Darby Allin commented on the comparisons between the WWE and AEW brands…
“If people are going to compare the two companies, WWE and AEW, I like to put it as a music reference. WWE is like Taylor Swift and AEW is like Slayer. Taylor Swift can sell more records, but that doesn’t mean Slayer doesn’t have a huge following.
Our brand of music is a little more intense and violent, and we don’t have to change anything. We don’t have to try to sell the same records as Taylor Swift. We’re kind of in our own world. That’s what I like to compare the two things to. You can watch All Out and it can be a little offensive, but I live to offend people.” (quote courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
