Professional wrestler Darby Allin recently surfaced on the “Flickering Myth” podcast to reveal a young man he’s mentoring who he initially met at his personal Halloween party. This young man is now actively training under Allin’s tutelage to become a pro wrestler.
Allin revealed, “This kid right here. He lived in Paducah, Kentucky and he had never done anything in his whole life. He lived under a rock. He randomly came to a Halloween party of mine and never left. Now, he lives in the school bus in my backyard and is training to be a pro wrestler.”
He went on to describe how he’s been pushing this young man to the edge of his abilities to foster confidence and prevent him from simply allowing life to pass him by.
On another note, Swerve Strickland expressed his belief that AEW will soon reform its course and outperform its previous records. This was mentioned during the Countdown to All In: Texas On Sale event that took place on a recent Monday.
Strickland professed, “There’s a man, Stephen A. Smith — I’m quoting him by saying, ‘I’m not the American dream. I’m the American story’. I got to this progression not just by hoping and wishing and luck. I got it from hard work, consistency, and perseverance, and believing in myself and not taking no for an answer. And every time I ran into a roadblock, when I got steered the wrong way, I figured it out and I got right back on track. And I went harder than ever.”
He further reiterated his point, stating, “So All In: Texas. Saturday, July 12th in Globe Life Field, All Elite Wrestling is going to do the same thing. We’re going to get back on track and we’re going to push harder and we’re going to do better than we ever have.”
