Darby Allin and Jeff Hardy getting along is the content you love to see.
Darby Allin has been compared to Jeff Hardy for a long time. Both take incredible risks and bumps in the world of professional wrestling. Last Wednesday on Dynamite, we witnessed a dream anything goes match between the pair, with Jeff Hardy winning the match in the end. However, in between the bells, both stars put their body on the line in huge spots.
Recently, in an interview with the New York Post, Darby recalled the first time the pair met:
“It’s one that has a lot to do with outside of wrestling. It’s the way I see him live his life outside of the ring, the stunts and the craziness that kind of draws me to him. I don’t get that from a lot of wrestlers. I don’t think I get that from any wrestlers. Nobody excited me outside the ring. To have that feeling with somebody, I’m like damn. So the first time I talked to him, we’re like, “Hey, you like to jump off of big s—t. I like to jump off of big s—t. You like dirt bikes. I like dirt bikes.” It was really like an organic relationship. It was super fun. For us to have that one tag match, me, Sting, Matt and Jeff down in Texas, that was also a lot of fun. It just feels very normal.”

It is nice to see that Allin respects Hardy so much, and not just cause they both take insane risks. Or as Allin put it, they like jumping off of big sh*t.
