Darby Allin wrestles a rough, dangerous, but exciting style in AEW and the former TNT Champion credits a special lifestyle choice that allows him to recover quickly to keep the style up.

In an interview with Fightful's Down Under the Ring, Allin spoke about how being straight edge allows his body to recover quickly.

“Oh, absolutely,” Darby Allin said of his straight edge lifestyle helping his health. “Just the recovery, like I’ve had a lot of friends that are in the pro skateboarding world and they drink a lot, and whenever they break something and they just say, ‘Oh, I’m bummed out, I’m just going to drink.’ It takes forever for them to heal. Like forever.

“The thing is like I’m able to bounce back really quick with anything. I came back really quick after breaking my foot and breaking my nose. So I think a lot of that has to do with just lifestyle choices.”
