Rob Van Dam Knows Darby Allin Loves The Wrestling Business, Talks The Crazy Bumps Allin Takes
Rob Van Dam gives his thoughts on AEW superstar, Darby Allin.
The Whole Fβn Show spoke about the former two-time TNT Champion during the latest edition of his One Of A Kind podcast. RVD states that Allin is the type of guy who clearly loves the business based on how much he puts his body on the line in matches.
First off, heβs one of those guys that I have to assume loves the business cause I see him beat the fuck out of his body up and down, doing crazy things that you donβt do unless you love the business. It takes a lot of heart to do what Iβve seen him do. Some of the stuff Iβve seen, highlights on Instagram, do not seem safe by any stretch of the imagination so either some of that stuff is completely reckless and dangerous, or theyβre working RVD, which hopefully itβs not. I saw Christian bodyslam him on the steps, on a dangerous pointed angle iron of metal and the way he landed and everything, it just looked like it could possibly break you. Iβve seen a lot of bumps like that, so I guess thatβs his niche, his gimmick maybe, kind of like Spike Dudley, I think of a newer 2023, 2024 version because if you look him up and look up his highlight reel, youβd pick him up for a chokeslam over the rope and throw him to the floor. If he truly isnβt hurt after stuff like that, then great job, Iβm a mark because I look at that stuff like, itβs entertaining because Iβm popping at it but at the same time, I feel for the kid and I wonder how long he can do that.
Allin revealed in his own interview that he nearly broke his neck on last Wednesdayβs AEW Dynamite. You can read about that here.
