Darby Allin addresses his physical health following years of doing high-risk moves

During an appearance on Renee Paquette’s podcast, AEW star Darby Allin addressed his physical health following years of doing high-risk moves…

“I feel amazing, actually, and I’ve been jumping off washers and dryers on the concrete since I was four. I feel really solid actually. I’m so extreme about physical therapy. I want to be as crazy for as long as possible. So if you ever see me at tapings, I’m always in the doctor’s room, not because I’m messed up. I like to do maintenance like dry needling and acupuncture and a lot of yoga.”

Allin also commented on his friendship with Sting…

“People say, ‘Oh, so you guys are together because you just paint your face.’ But it’s crazy what people don’t see behind the scenes, like how much we get along. During the pandemic, I would change in the boiler room. Like, that was my spot. I would shut the door and just be in the boiler room. Then one day, Sting walked by, and he’s like, ‘Why are you in this boiler room.’ I was like, ‘I just like to be in my own zone. I don’t know, like my own world, like to get away from everything.’ Then he’s just like, ‘Alright, well, my locker room is your locker from now on,’ Ever since then, even when we went on the road, he’s just like, ‘Your locker room is my locker room.’ We have such, you know, stuff outside of the ring. It’s cool, but no one gets to see that. When we’re paired off now, it feels super right, but in the beginning, I have no idea, it’s funny because they’re like, ‘Alright, you’re gonna sit in the rafters for a couple of weeks. I didn’t put two and two together. Then they said, ‘Sting is gonna debut.’ Oh, cool. I’ve never met him. Then I started talking to him and then he was watching all my promos. He’s like, ‘Dude, don’t change a thing. You’re doing awesome.’ Then they asked me to be paired with him and it was awesome to play a part in his final chapter.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
