Booker T: I Don’t Think Sting’s AEW Run Could Have Been Done Without Darby Allin

Booker T puts over how Darby Allin helped Sting in his final run with All Elite Wrestling.

Booker T talks Sting and Darby Allin’s partnership in AEW.

When Sting made his All Elite Wrestling debut, he immediately struck up a mentorship with Darby Allin. The pair began teaming together, with them still remaining undefeated as a tag team on AEW programming. At AEW Revolution on March 3rd, Sting and Allin will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships vs The Young Bucks.

On a recent episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T was asked if he was surprised to see Sting give so much credit to Darby for his final run in AEW, with Booker noting he doesn’t believe the run could have happened without Allin.

“Not at all. Not at all. Sting’s a humble dude. Sting’s humble. You’re not gonna find too many guys have a lot of bad things to say about Sting. He’s humble as humble can be. I’m sure he’s feeling a certain way about his last run, and honestly, I don’t think it could have been done without Darby. Darby was the guy that was going out there, doing a lot of the work but still representing Sting at the same time, still putting Sting on a pedestal at the same time, still looking at Sting like he’s the he ultimate mentor, like, ‘Man, I couldn’t have found a better place than to be Sting’s right hand man.’ Can you imagine that? As a young kid, watching Sting do his thing for so many years, and next thing you know, you’re tag-teaming with him? So I get that 100%. So big ups to Sting. He’s getting ready to call it a day and ride off into the sunset. One thing about him, he did it his way, he did it on his own terms. He didn’t let anybody tell him he couldn’t do it when so many people told him he couldn’t. So big props to Sting. Big props.”
