Jeff Hardy recently spoke to ESPN, and during the conversation, he spoke about AEW’s young sensation, Darby Allin.
Darby Allin had acknowledged Jeff Hardy as somebody who influenced him. Responding to that, Hardy acknowledged that he did find similarities between them.
“I’m so honored for people to say that, especially a guy like Darby Allin. I’ve never met him but when I watch him on AEW I’m going, ‘wow, he is a lot like me.’ He’s actually like a real-life stunt man and I’ve always kinda said jokingly I don’t think I even know how to wrestle.
