Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave LaGreca.

On today's episode, myself and Bully Ray talk to your AEW world champion Darby Allen right here on the Busted Open podcast.

This is the Busted Open podcast.

I will start off by telling you to your face that, and I've been saying it on the show, since you won that championship, and even before you won the championship, but since you won the championship, you've been doing a hell of a job, man. Balls to the wall, never say die, all gas, no brakes, pedal to the mother truck and metal the way it should be. Excellent fucking job. Thank you, sir. Thank you. You got it. No, but what I love, and actually, Bowley and I were just talking about

it before you joined us is these matches

that you've been given us every single

week on TV and

just surviving.

You're winning, but you're just

surviving. There's no shame in, like, winning a

match and not being able to get to your feet, you know,

because you put 110% into the match.

So how proud are you on this trail that you've made since winning the championship?

It's been incredible.

Just the fact that my first title defense against Tomaso Champa. The bar that we set that night,

it wasn't going to be like, oh, well, this is going to be

chilling out.

You know, having a couple, like, here,

matches here and there.

It's been like twice a week, every week.

People think, oh, you're going to just take it easy

and tell the pay-per-view.
