Darby Allin (Wrestling) | comment |
Darby Allin (real name Samuel Ratsch, born in January 7, 1993) is an American professional wrestler currently working for All Elite Wrestling. He began his career working for independent circuits before making his name in AEW.A long-time punk rock fan, he derived his ring name from Darby Crash and GG Allin, and he is perhaps best described as not just a punk, but a rebellious, death-defying one. While further aspects of Allin's character include his fondness for skateboarding (occasionally making his way to the ring on one) and his theatrical (and often silent) promos, he is primarily a disturbed individual with a troubled past and a fascination with death and danger that manifests in high-risk, high-flying daredevil theatrics.The dark past isn't exclusive to his character. When he was five, Ratsch was the passenger in a car crash that resulted from his uncle, who died in the crash, driving while intoxicated. This became one of the reasons for him choosing to live Straight Edge, as well as the inspiration for his distinct half-skull face paint, which he has explained as the result of him being "half-dead" since the crash.Perhaps as a result of this unique style, Darby Allin was one of the breakout new stars of All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and 2020, eventually becoming TNT Champion in November 2020 at AEW's Full Gear PPV. He and Sting also became AEW Tag Team Champions on the 7th of February episode of Dynamite, ahead of Sting's upcoming retirement match at Revolution 2024, in which they retained the title, sending Sting out as a champion. They would vacate the belts immediately after the show. Champion or not, Darby Allin is (much like the tattoo on the back of his head) relentless. | |

The Rival | |
Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Probably his most persistent and respected adversary is Cody Rhodes. Cody was largely responsible for bringing Darby into the company, and was his first opponent for his debut match at Fyter Fest 2019. The two have clashed repeatedly, with the older, larger and more-experienced Cody usually being visibly the better of the two, but Darby giving as good as he got at every turn, culminating in him finally getting a pivotal upset win over Cody at Full Gear 2020 to win the TNT Championship off him. There have also been times where the two have allied with each other against other opponents such as the Butcher and the Blade, and Team Tazz. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Has been likened to "a young Sting", although Darby is a much smaller guy than the large, powerful WCW Icon. The "Alternate Company" part was ironically subverted when Sting himself debuted in (and signed with) AEW, saving Darby from a beatdown at the hands of Team Tazz, and then drawing the comparison even more directly by saying on his first interview there that things looked familiar in AEW to his old days… before having a long staredown with Darby, who was hanging out in the rafters not unlike Sting used to do in WCW. | |

Aborted Arc: In the summer of 2022, Darby has been feuding with Kyle O'Reilly, with Sting and Bobby Fish getting involved as well. O'Reilly was supposed to team up with the Bullet Club (Young Bucks and Hikuleo) against Darby, Sting, Los Ingobernables de Japón (Hiromu Takahashi and Shingo Takagi) at Forbidden Door but the match was changed to a six-men tag team match due to several wrestlers, including O'Reilly, being unable to make it. | |

Arch-Enemy: Ricky Starks. Unlike some of Darby's other recurring opponents such as Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley, the two simply hate each other. He and Ethan Page have been feuding in the indies long before AEW was born. Naturally, this boils over when they both start working in the same promotion. Swerve Strickland is another sworn enemy of his due to their history in Defy. Swerve's attacks on his protegee Nick Wayne and manipulation of his friend AR Fox made it even more personal for Darby. | |

Combat Pragmatist: After getting jumped one too many times by Team Taz, including right after his shocking win over Cody for the TNT Title, Darby started wearing a jacket with thumbtacks glued on so no one could get the jump on him without getting a few wounds themselves, as we saw on the post-Full Gear Dynamite. | |

Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_5c300c3b | comment |
The Berserker: Darby's wrestling style is — for the lack of a better word — intense. Being a nimble high-flyer only makes him more willing to do insane stunts that often look like they hurt him as much as his opponents, but his burning desire to win above all else is evidently one hell of a painkillernote It's noteworthy that since he's part of the Straight Edge lifestyle, he doesn't take any form of pain medication as part of recovery, not even aspirin. He's aware that this kind of wrestling doesn't present a long shelf life, but he until he breaks down for good, he's absolutely going to make the most out of it because this form of excessive brutality is just what comes naturally to him. | |

Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_7506ec90 | comment |
Fashionable Asymmetry: His face paint only goes down the left side of his face, and usually is in some way designed to unnerve his opponent. For the street fight at Revolution 2021 where he joined Sting to take on Team Taz, he kept his usual paint on the left side of his face, while painting the right side of his face as well with Sting's Crow-inspired look, while Sting altered his own facepaint to match, with the left side copying Darby's skeletal motif. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: His debut in AEW was a singles match against top AEW star Cody Rhodes at Fyter Fest 2019. Despite a modest indie reputation and a series of vignettes by AEW to introduce him, Darby went into the match as an effective unknown, with the crowd massively behind Cody. But in 20 gruelling minutes that included some disgusting bumps (including a missed Coffin Drop directly onto the ring apron), Darby just refused to stay down and held one of AEW's biggest names to a time limit draw, and by the end of the match he was a made man. | |

Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Almost indisputably AEW's biggest "home-grown" star, Darby hit the ground running in the company with his debut match against Cody and has never looked back. He eventually defeated Cody to become the third TNT Champion, calling himself "the Face of TNT" and becoming one of the most popular guys in the entire promotion. He not only was paired with Sting as his mentor and tag team partner, but when CM Punk came out of his seven-year retirement to sign with AEW, he singled out Darby as the first young wrestler he wanted to face in his return match at All Out 2021, instantly elevating Darby's public profile to dizzying heights. | |

This trope did get Deconstructed during the bout with Miro which lost him the TNT Championship. Darby already required a medical clearance to enter the match, and upon doing so was met with a brutal assault from Miro before the bell was even rung. Darby's refusal to accept the referee's offer to call off the match may have been the honorable thing to do, but it put him at a severe disadvantage that he couldn't overcome. | |

Friendly Rivalry | |
Darby Allin (Wrestling) / int_fbd5fda1 | comment |
Friendly Rivalry: Has had Face vs. Face feuds with both Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley. The feuds were similar in that they revolve around Darby as an inexperienced and reckless newcomer going up against hardened industry veterans. In Cody's case, he initially underestimated Darby's determination before slowly coming to see him as a Worthy Opponent, while Moxley saw Darby as somebody who needs to be struck down before he does permanent damage to his own well-being, while admitting that he does really like the kid, who reminds him of himself when he was younger. Later, he would have a similar dynamic as the first chosen opponent for the pro wrestling return of CM Punk, with each man stating the other would've been (in Punk's case to Darby) or was (in Darby's case to Punk) the other's favorite wrestler growing up. | |

Death Seeker: Darby claims to be "half-dead already" after surviving a horrible car crash that killed his uncle as a child and thus has very little regard for his own life. And it's not just in the ring, as he's planning to go on an expedition to climb Mount Everest. In his last match before his planned trip in March 2024, he was intended to suffer a kayfabe ankle injury, but instead legitimately broke a foot, forcing him to delay his climb to 2025. | |
