Darby Allin: WWE Is Like Taylor Swift, AEW Is Like Slayer; Our Brand Of Music In More Intense And Violent
Fans and talent have used many analogies to compare WWE and AEW in an attempt to explain why each company brings something different to the table.
Pepsi and Coke, the NFL and the AFL, or Michael Bay and David Fincher have all been used to compare the two wrestling promotions.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Darby Allin used music to make a comparison.
“If people are going to compare the two companies, WWE and AEW, I like to put it as a music reference. WWE is like Taylor Swift and AEW is like Slayer. Taylor Swift can sell more records, but that doesn’t mean Slayer doesn’t have a huge following. Our brand of music is a little more intense and violent, and we don’t have to change anything. We don’t have to try to sell the same records as Taylor Swift. We’re kind of in our own world. That’s where I like to compare the two things. You can watch All Out and it can be a little offensive, but I live to offend people,” he said.
Allin is set to face Jon Moxley at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.
The winner will be the number one contender for the AEW World Title.
Fightful has coverage of AEW Dynamite every Wednesday beginning at 8 p.m. ET followed by a post-show review podcast on our YouTube channel.
