Current AEW star criticizes WWE; labels 'Superstar is just such a stupid term'

A current AEW star has seemingly criticized WWE and pointed out that labels like ‘superstar’ were a stupid term. This might cause a stir with the fans of the Stamford-based promotion. The name in question is none other than Darby Allin.

Allin is one of the cornerstones of All Elite Wrestling and has been with the company since its inception. On top of being a great wrestler who leaves it all in the ring, he is also a very humble person.

He recently sat down with Renee Paquette and RJ City on AEW Meal & a Match when he pointed out that he prefers being someone with whom younger kids can relate. In the same answer, he also pointed out how the term 'superstar' was such a stupid term.

​

“That’s why, like with wrestling, I think being a spokesperson for the younger kids, they can see me and relate. I’m not just coming into AEW and be like, ‘Yo, everything’s perfect, I’m a superstar.’ Superstar is just such a stupid term. We’re like, ‘You’re down here, we’re up here, we’re superstars.’ I’m one of you who just made it, you know what I mean, and you can make it too.” [17:14 - 17:42]
