"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. "The Jungle Boy" Jack Perry. I dig it

[@vernonhampton5863]

That passes the marquee test. "Jungle" Jack Perry sounds like a man.

[@bigjavo36]

The nature boy ric flair

[@bigchillphil]

Yup

[@vernonhampton5863]

@@bigjavo36 Again, that passes the marquee test.

[@LARRYLONGSTRETH]

@@vernonhampton5863 Agree. Gotta lose the "Boy" part. It doesn't have the western legend sound like "Kid" does. It'll sound dumb when he's a bit older. Jungle Jack Perry sounds strong.

[@Epsilonsama]

Jungle Boy Jack Perry sounds much better than just Jungle Boy. Jungle Boy sounds like a jobber name but add Jack Perry and it just clicks. Jungle Boy Jack Perry has that same sound as a Nature Boy Ric Flair or Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[@LeroyzkiSmithsonian]

Epsilonsama The whole point of not using Jack Perry is that he wanted to be more than just Luke Perry’s wrestler son.

[@Epsilonsama]

@@LeroyzkiSmithsonian Gotta be honest I'm not very familiar on who his dad Luke Perry so for me it is not about using his dad fame. My point was that it just sounds better. Jungle Boy Jack Perry just had a nice ring to it. Just Jungle Boy sounds to jobberific if you ask me.

[@The80sWolf_]

@@Epsilonsama "add Jack Perry and it just clicks. Jungle Boy Jack Perry has that same sound as a Nature Boy Ric Flair or Stone Cold Steve Austin." So very true.

[@EmoEmu]

Jungle Boy Jack Perry sounds good - especially when JR says it. It has that oldschool feel.

[@EmoEmu]

@@ericmonaco4509 Yeah and it also sets up for one maybe not wanting to be Jack Perry without the Jungleboy. I've always said he could turn heel and be Jack "Wallstreet Jungle" Perry. ;) And "Jungleboy" is going to be ackward at 50.

[@EmoEmu]

@@ericmonaco4509 Bit cringe He's Ric Flair first though. If he just showed up as Nature Boooooy it would be a comedy act.

[@EmoEmu]

@@SpkeNo1 45 and bald and crosseyed and old-man body.

[@josealba5027]

Jungle boy is a good wrestler hopefully one of these days he will be aew champion . His dad is very proud of him.

[@Saintphoenix86]

I hate when people speak for someone else, Luke is dead now and you arnt him anyway, you have no right to say his is proud, you can say "im sure his dad is proud" but you have no right to say that her is or isnt

[@bruisergiraffe4660]

He's way too small and he doesn't have the talent of rey mysterious to make it believable. Rey mysterio was a special talent

[@pierrelemagnifique205]

His gymmic is too goofy

[@monkeydluffy983]

@@Saintphoenix86 Tf wrong with you how do you know he isn't proud. He knew his son loved wrestling of course he would be proud of him.

[@garywenzlaff6918]

@@bruisergiraffe4660 He needs to getild

[@McCucumber]

Jungle Boy is younger than his dad when he started playing the role of a high school student.

[@bigbeautifulmichaelbruinsc6796]

AEW is absolutely A-MA-ZING Jungle Boy Rules🤘🏾😜

[@animalz0207]

I love AEW!!! These interviews feel very down to earth.

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

So sweet hearing Awesome Kong put Jungle Boy over like that 😊👍 I liked how he answered the question about JR. Very professional

[@lordfaust023]

I prefer Jungle Jack The boy gotta grow up at some point

[@brunotrindade1663]

From ten years it will happen

[@kyledamron]

I gotta say I like it better too

[@joe.limbus]

Jungle jack sounds like his heel turn name lol

[@Wadzillia]

You gotta point, a boy has to become a man eventually.

[@blackwingdragonmasta]

Shawn Michaels was the heart break kid well into his 40s lol

[@KalvinEllis]

People should pay attention to what Awesome Kong says in the end. Having a famous parent does not necessarily mean you have it easier, it could also mean the opposite. Keep that in mind whenever you decide to claim that certain people, that you conveniently happen to dislike, are only being pushed because of their last name.

[@BuuhBlocks]

Yea for sure. I feel like in athletics it's even harder. Jack has the benefit of being in a different work environment than his dad but they are still similar. I cant imagine the pressure bronny jr is gonna feel if and when he makes it to the NBA. Having lebron as your dad is going to make the pressure CRAZY

[@mon3759]

Most def, in many instances, for example, many kids of famous athletes have higher expectations and have to live up to the skills of their parents, or be better.

[@ryanpetty8843]

If he was in WWE, they would’ve just called him “Perry”

[@richevans609]

Pat Patterson would have just called him...

[@jtaco4101]

He wouldn't have even been in WWE, he's tiny. Looks like a sophomore 125er.

[@stalkernight8146]

Hey, Where's Perry?

[@chrisramirez1671]

I love this kid so much he’s gonna he a star

[@bigbeautifulmichaelbruinsc6796]

Just a Boy, a Jungle Boy... And his Pet Dinosaur, a Luchasaurus😜

[@kingofshade4927]

There’s a reason why JR says it... Go with it

[@GVGames1986]

From all the years I listened and sometimes watched, JR is a treasure!

[@Iliketoeatallday]

There maybe the internet can calm down about it.

[@jonathanpretty3380]

So great to see awesone kong back, would love to see another gail kim awesome kong feud.

[@richiehunt5097]

It's simple...you present him as a person who used the nickname 'Jungle Boy' because he looks like a Tarzan type and that he kept his real name hush hush because he wanted to make it in wrestling on his own merits instead of living off his dad's name. And that is the story that needs to be told about the kid.

[@SuperMarioPlush2006]

I remember Jungle Boy back when he was in the UGWA, he had like two matches and now he is in AEW

[@docgonzales]

Kong is an amazing woman

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Mini Tarzan

[@TheREALOC1972]

I see him going back to "Jungle" Jack Perry within the next couple of years. He's already cemented the fact that he's a legit wrestler on his own. I fell like it's just time, everyone already knows who he is and who his father is anyway, at this point why not just go with it.

[@Dave25]

Jungle Boy Jack Perry sounds like an epic wrestling name hopefully he uses that could be a legend!

[@thehaunted8055]

J.R went off the deep end on his podcast ...that shit was hilarious

[@neilmccullagh3021]

Dude the match him and y2j when jim Ross was screaming come on kid and screamed jungle boy jack Perry i popped like I was 12 years watching wrestling for the first time! It made him feel like a star! Ironic that it was when hhh vs Jericho for the title on Monday night raw made him a star thanks to the commentary that in my eyes

[@darlenedunlap7650]

Wtf 😒 right definitely u ain't lieing. U are doing great. Good vibe and way to look at that.

[@S4inc]

This kid is going places...

[@BlooJayyy]

My favorite in the AEW

[@NoName-wi4od]

One day he can be Hollywood jack perry, and work heel. Seems pretty obvious

[@j-dgg4056]

Perfect answer Jungle Boy

[@medalina4852]

I love jungle boy 😍

[@bpatrickhoburg]

Awesome Kong is cool as shit! Loved hearing her take.

[@Dead_in__side__]

I wanna see Kong vs Jungle Boy

[@1ajgtwm]

the best side burns in the business

[@LeoBeltran]

jungle jack sound better

[@blakemelkey3774]

It's not like his dad was on the A-list.

[@sherrymay5409]

He's a doll

[@burntvirtue]

Ryan Satin is insufferable

[@cappy2282]

Jungle boy is a beast

[@jeanettewilson264]

JR is the only one that says "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry!!! Everyone else just calls him Jungle Boy.

[@tysonmoore8857]

I think he did make it already and even if he didn’t everyone knew who he was by now anyways. Everything jungle boy says is right I think

[@christhornycroft3686]

If he used his real name in the beginning, people would have said here’s this rich, Hollywood brat who’s play acting at wrestling. But he uses the gimmick name, without being ashamed of who he is, so he can earn respect as a wrestler on his own. I admire that. I’d like to see him move more towards Jungle Jack Perry, but he’s doing well so far, and anyone who can get compliments from Jim Cornette while calling themselves Jungle Boy is doing something right.

[@CraigSmithII]

He look just like his Pops

[@Willthrill8]

Ryan satin is so hate-able I can't believe it.

[@markheyes287]

It worked for Mick Foley so It Can work for Jack

[@tammynestor8118]

This is for jungle boy I want to get to I want to get to meet you and your expired your inspiration to me and I just wanted to tell you thank you and keep up what you're doing thank you very much your friend Tammy

[@kisame975]

I mean "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry sounds cooler than Jungle Boy flat.

[@darmon931]

If your a young up and coming guy and Jim Ross calls you jungle boy jack perry you be proud he's calling your match

[@shawnkinser1164]

The problem is, he's so small that the idea he would be beat larger guys like Brody Lee for example is nuts so why bother to push him. Yes I know Waltman beat Razor a hundred years ago but this kid is even smaller than him.

[@horsthacker6355]

Very talented ...but all of that is wasted in AEW. Sorry for the opinion.

[@Saintphoenix86]

WWE has wasted talent for 20 years, whats your point?

[@benchristoit1299]

Jobber

[@voodooking9056]

Why do people act like Luke Perry was anything BIG. He was outshined by Zach Morris, in the only demographic that cared for either, the teeny bopper girls. Awesome Kong is the star here.

[@AnthonyRodriguez-zo6pu]

It sounds like he dislikes when JR calls him jungle jack instead of his ring name but he doesn’t want to say anything cause it is JR I get it but I find JR to be disrespecting this kid who is building his own name would JR call taker mark Undertaker Calloway no that would’ve ruined his mystique
