AEW Star Talks Disappointment In Missing Full Gear

Darby Allin has had great performances at both of the AEW pay per views he has wrestled on. He was part of a very fun three-way match with Joey Janela and Jimmy Havoc at All Out and he defeated Sammy Guevara at Revolution.

These matches do not make it easier when he was sitting on the sidelines for Full Gear. Allin discussed his disappointment with Sports Illustrated in a recent interview. Here is the full quote:

I sat in the crowd, and that ate me alive. I sat there and watched the show, and I said to myself, ‘I’m going to put in as much work as I ever have, whether it’s video or matches, to be on the next pay-per-view.’ There were people that probably expected me to be off the pay-per-view. I’m here to prove people wrong. I’m not here to make friends and treat this as a clubhouse.

People here are super supportive, and I appreciate that, but this isn’t friendship hour. For me, this is about proving people wrong and putting AEW on the map. Proving people wrong, that’s what drives me. I’ve always believed I belonged in this spot. Others may have not—[due to my] size, [or lack of] years. This is my fifth year in wrestling, and a lot of people say, ‘Your time will come, your time will come.’ No mother——, my time’s now. I feel it and I know it.”

Allin has become one of AEW’s greatest breakout stars and it seems unlikely that he will miss any pay per views in the near future.
