Darby Allin on Blood & Guts: ‘I’ve Got A Lot of Stuff Planned’

Allin also reflected on Sting’s last match, where he jumped off a ladder to deliver a swanton bomb–onto steel chairs covered with glass

On the glass spot

“I wanted Sting’s last match to go out with a bang,” said Allin. “At the end of the night, he was like, ‘That’s one of the top three matches of my career.’ That was the goal. You can’t watch that match and not be enthralled by the whole thing. It’s a last match we’ll always remember.”

“Going through the glass, that was pretty chill,” said Allin. “Then the referee was like, ‘Are you OK?’ I had like a huge hole in my side. It sliced me open pretty good, and they had to tape me up. The stitches and staples held me together, which sucked, but otherwise, it didn’t hurt.”

“When you think about it, that’s when you get hurt,” said Allin. “You need to get up there and go. I was just going with the flow.”

“I didn’t want to use sugar glass,” said Allin. “If that breaks too early, or breaks in your hands, it’s embarrassing. I wanted real glass. It was all or nothing for Sting.”

“It’s been such a wild ride,” said Allin, marveling at the thought of it all. “I broke my foot [during a match on Dynamite in March], I got hit by a bus, I broke my nose, and then got super kicked in the nose. That caused my nose to open up like a faucet. There were thumbtacks superglued in my lip. Trying to explain that to my doctor was hilarious.”

On Blood and Guts plans

“I’ve got a lot of stuff planned,” said Allin. “I’ve never even been in a cage match before. Never. It’s a fun challenge. And you know me, I love a challenge.

“This is really important to me. I want to be the face of this company. I want to be the spokesperson for this place. Look what AEW has allowed me to do inside the ring, and the freedom I get outside the ring. That’s why I’ve been able to be authentic and real to myself.”

On Jack Perry

“It’s pretty cool to see what Jack is doing now,” said Allin, carefully choosing his words. “Everyone always says a pro wrestler is at their best when they’re themselves turned up to ten. In real life, he’s an idiot. He’s entitled. So he’s getting to be his real self. I feel like he’s been rewarded for bad behavior. I don’t care for him.”
