Darby Allin Reacts To Being Called Reckless

Darby Allin loves to take risks but feels that doesn't make him reckless. In a recent conversation on "Drinks With Johnny," he spoke about his desire to be AEW World Champion, the face of the company, and why he's not as reckless as many might believe.

"There is a method to the madness," Allin said. "A lot of people say I'm reckless. Like, I'm far from reckless. I'm very calculated with what I do."

Given that Allin is looking forward to climbing Mt. Everest, not to mention the fact that he's performed stunts like jumping 96 feet over his house in a jeep or a 92-foot jump down a waterfall, people tend to assume he doesn't have a handle on what he's doing, but disagrees with that notion. 

He lives for AEW and hopes to be the face of the company one day. "'I'm not being irresponsible or anything like that when it comes to AEW because AEW is my number one focal point," he continued. "To be a face of a company, you have to be the champion. So that's like exactly what I want to do." 

Sunday night at Double or Nothing, Allin competed against MJF, "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara for the AEW World Championship. While he ultimately came up short, the 30-year-old seems to be just getting started as he's got one major goal in mind in his pro wrestling career. "I want people when they look at AEW, they think of Darby Allin," said the AEW star.
