He didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to do, that's just who he is in the ring. Was he stiff? Absolutely but Jungle bitch never gave him a receipt and I'm sure RUSH lost respect for him because of that. Lots of traditional mexican "rudos" have that mentality in the ring. I should add that RUSH and his father, as well as his brothers, have a reputation of getting involved in fights after shows, with both talent and fans.

[@insupportofjunhado]

CMLL has weight classes. It doesn't stick them as closely as it should, it hasn't since fucking Ultimo Guerrero, who at the very least should be a cruiserweight, won the middle weight belt, but Rush fighting a guy Jungle Jack's size in CMLL would have been a rare treat. Jungle Boy would have been fighting other lightweights, middle weights or minis, and getting destroyed, even beaten flat by Rush, would not have hurt his standing as much because fans would have been conditioned to know he was literally outclassed. Here though, without weight classes, this open weight free for all that is AEW, Jungle Boy has won more matches and is the number one contender going into a pay per view, he should be higher than Rush in the pecking order. If this doesn't lead to something, Rush getting a push similar to Jungle Boy or Jungle Boy avenging this poor showing against Rush, then you've voilated consistency and your booking makes no sense. At least with CM Punk and Wardlow, Wardlow played a key part in Punk beating MJF and Punk was removed from television when there was still some time to follow up on it. This time they have no excuse to not follow up, unless Rush/Jungle boy become indisposed. Willie Hobbs made Adam Page look like shit though, and Page still won the belt while Hobbs remained at the bottom of the card for another two years, so don't trust AEW to make sense.

@@SSJ2Phenom Poor old cm junk, everything's always the other guys fault. He's the most hard done bye and victimized wrestler that ever was. He even gets a pass for sucker punching Jackson from behind, that wasn't his fault either, and Vince wronged him and Tony Khan wronged him and so on and so on.

[@darkstars-torpedoes-of-truth]

@@eldiablo3794 Exactly, just like they push us to try to believe cm junk can take on and defeat anyone after we have all seen his abysmal fighting skills irl.

[@darksword4726]

Konnan, who books Rush in Mexico gave a good response to Cornette’s rant on his podcast. Said Rush is second generation wrestler that’s been active for 15 yrs and is used to fighting old school guys that will take liberties. It was up to Perry to fight back or get eaten up.

[@jasoncourville2735]

Wish they'd run this match back next week on dynamite

[@JobberJerry]

I didn't watch dynamite but half thru hearing this I had to pull it up to see with my own eyes. Not only did he get to ropes in the snare trap but spun all the way around and went to the hard cam side to do it

[@xymoriintus]

🤣 that's hilarious!

[@falsedemocracy83]

"He's number 5 in a 4 horse race" pure gold from Cornette. Anyone else "steal" Cornette's witticisms and use them in everyday life? The one I say the most is: "That's like being the nicest guy in prison."

I’ve thrown “you couldnt trust what he’s saying even if his tongue was notarized” in few convos. Always good for a lil chuckle if someone hasn’t heard it before

I use his "sweating like a whore in a church" the most, closely followed by "excited like a schoolgirl over a shiny new vibrator"

“Flatter than four o’clock “.. “Flatter than a plate of piss” are some of the ones for me

I don't watch any of this horseshit, but after listening to this I had to find the match on KZbin, I swear to god, 99% of the comments for that video are about how amazing Rush was. Lmao

[@ovionradion9260]

RUSH was great 👍

[@TheNEOverse]

Yep, that's straight up the opposite of what they want lol. Makes Jungle Boy look like even more of a chump, which I kinda don't mind. Dude has not amounted to much at all.

[@nickhughes8179]

Jungle Bust

[@insupportofjunhado]

Rush was "somehow" convinced he was a star when he was named "Mr. CMLL", pushed to win the world heavyweight championship belt, then given his own heel stable when the fans turned on him and then signed to a lucrative ROH deal despite the parent company's legendary stinginess. Also, the Japanese off shoot his heel stable became the most popular faction in New Japan, far more popular than his had ever been in Mexico, but it probably made him feel good all the same.

[@thedevilsdrummer77]

I've seen RUSH have these kind of matches since he got to AEW. He is clearly better at wrestling than Jungle Boy and wanted to show him up and did just that.

[@rubenbarrera7338]

He is way better 🙏🏽 lol

[@Gravey_draws]

Konnan said on his podcast this the way Rush works, he will get his shit in, and if you wanna get your shit in you're gonna have to show some fight (which Jungle Boy lacks). Good punishment for Jungle Boy after his attitude at fan events.

[@mauricioreal7384]

Rush showed he was the bigger star, he should replace Jungle boy in the title match 😂😂

[@darthraider450]

3:57 I guess this is why I enjoyed the match, I wanted to see Jungle Boy get his ass kicked 😂

[@TomFoolery350]

I have to watch this, sounds like a classic.

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

Rush can actually work btw. Or at least the last time I saw him... in 2015, he could. It pains me that not much of what he's done in AEW is a shining example of that opinion. EDIT - Watched the match. That was the Rush I know and love (lack of professionalism aside, his S**t looked GREAT) Kinda enjoyed it actually. Only thing that I felt went awry was the no-selling. Clearly went into business for himself. Tbh it writes itself. He clearly feels he should be pushed harder (and tbh I think I'd rather see him pushed than certain people) but this wasn't the right way to do it. He's not fully at fault anyways though, JB wasn't even offered much offense let alone the stuff that Rush no sold. It's obvious this match was booked like this bar Rush's chest puffing. I think they worked the planned match and Rush decided to no sell all of Jungle Boy's agreed offense. TL:DR - Rush >>> Jungle Boy... but I agree he (Rush) was acting like an egotistical pr**k, and JB is meant to be above him in kayfabe terms. But tbf no one looks back on Goldberg being schooled by Regal in the same manner.

[@zipperbvk]

Maybe this was to spank jungle boy for his European convention mishap???

[@iamdb1990]

"I would hire QT's parents for having him for allowing this to happen just to fire 'em" jesus christ, that's next level

[@mhc12k]

I just saw the match. This was a trial by fire for Jungle kid. I'm sure turned out the way they wanted. Rush was used to toughen the soft kid up and gain crowd sympathy for him. The end wasn't crazy it's just more horrible booking by AEW

[@fatalsniper3413]

JB should've lost because he needs adversity

[@mistamaog]

The match Rush had against Danielson was similar to this, so I wasn't surprised at how dominant he was.

[@outlimboed]

I've never disagreed with Jim more. I think this was one of the greatest matches in AEW history. Rush should be on the AEW team against the Elite at the next PPV #PushRush

[@taylork7530]

Sammy vs Luke Perry’s son. Pillar vs Pillar. Who’s getting their own DSOTR episode first?

[@JaculaDudek]

Jungle boy

[@MultiBlack17]

The way Jim described this made me kinda feel bad for liking this match a lot 😂😂

[@ovionradion9260]

NAHHH for me it was the bookers fault.

[@supermanXL]

Fr I thought Rush was dope except for the throw

[@insupportofjunhado]

Don't. Jim's looking at it as professional, as a booker and someone who legitimately wants WWE to have domestic competition again. Even if you share some of those traits with him, just remember you're not the AEW booker, you're the AEW fan...or at least AEW observer. Just because Jim is always thinking about the good of the wider business doesn't mean you can't get lost in a match as a fan.

[@hosepipe]

Jim got worked big time on this one 😂

[@madmanwebster94]

Fast forward 6 months Jack Perry is the one on the shit list and Rush is not. Funny how that works out.

[@Smooterino]

Honestly, if this match happened now, Corny would probably stand and applaud Rush for knocking the shit outta ol' Jack Perry.

[@APG103House]

Rush did the same thing to Moxley a few months back.

[@patale1640]

Rush was waiting for Jungle Boy to fire up and throw some smoke(which JB has no clue how to do because he has never been in a real fight.)

[@GodotOfficial]

Rush should do the same thing to Pockets next

[@magiccarpetride1345]

Rush obviously not a 90210 fan and took it out on Jack 😂

[@abcsin6526]

😂😂😂

[@dejuans1328]

Based on the management philosophy at AEW, Rush will probably get a big push.

[@sjdrifter72]

Jungle Chump had it coming after disrespecting the business. Hope to see more abuse coming his way.

[@nbkbot7836]

Honestly i kind of enjoyed the way rush punked him out there lol the cup check was hilarious

[@elberno4243]

It was the Hogan philosophy. Baby face in peril fighting fighting from underneath. You can't blame Rush for being entertaining whilst carrying Jungle boy. Remember, Perry doesn't take advice from veterans😂😂😂

[@youngzeus87]

Rush should get JB spot in the match. He looks like the real contender here

[@Robby_C]

Jungle Boy getting color was 100% planned... he was down on the ground giggin himself for like 10 seconds and Jose scurried around and grabbed the blade from him while he was waving a sign around.

[@Robby_C]

Why would you? .... because its AEW .... nothing they do makes sense so of course they would get color in a nothing match.

[@jeremyruh5219]

Surprised Jim didn't know that RUSH was ROH World Champion multiple times

[@stephenrogers4537]

8:05 wait a minute are you sure this isn't Joey Ryan incognito in a disguise of some kind?😮😂😂😂

[@jonathanbohm6489]

Jungle Boy got his due

[@lucaromanelli4664]

I don't think Rush went into business for himself here. He just displayed his talent by showing his usual stuff, which may look very realistic cause of the stiffness but it's still worked. Jungle Boy on the other hand wasn't helped by the booking which gave him much less offense than his opponent, even for a face-in-peril situation. Or maybe Billy Gunn was the producer for this match lol

[@nemanjamilosevic1370]

Jim is right a 100%,everyone in the comment section talks about Rush instead of Jungle boy.

[@PrettyDeadlyJesse]

You know it's bad when Jim is sticking up for Jungle Jack

[@philanderphillips2309]

Jungle Boy has less of a chance at beating MJF as Spike Dudley had a chance at beating Big Show. Also, Rush has a history of ‘no-selling’, but very telling that he didn’t try that sh*t with “The Plumber”.

[@Robby_C]

1:30 - if this match had happened 30 years ago Jungle Boy wouldn't have been in the business and Rush wouldn't have had the ability to take as many liberties as he did. This exposed how fake AEW and Jungle Boy are... a real wrestler would have given Rush a stiff one after the 2nd guard rail throw, and the match would have continued as planned. The plan was probably to have Rush get a bunch of heat on Jungle Boy and then have Jungle Boy sneak out a victory... Rush got heat, and Jungle Boy wasn't man enough to stand up for himself.... he just looked like a scared child who thinks enduring the punishment is the same as being tough.

[@jesterr7133]

lmfao. When I saw this match, I couldn't wait until the segment showed up in my feed. I knew this would be good.

[@joepapi619]

wow, i really thought cornette was going to enjoy the hard hitting nature of rush's dominance, what a twist!

[@haidenglascoe1519]

i'm about 2:40 in and after all that they've said, i'm fucking scared of what's to come. lol

[@televiper11]

Reminded me of when Paul Roma humiliated Alex Wright in ‘95

[@jthom0027]

Every time something unprofessional happens in AEW (which is at least once a month) I remember that all the issues in AEW are caused by CM Punk and only CM Punk. The issues that happened before Punk signed with AEW...Punk caused those. The issues that happened after the All Out scrum...Punk caused those as well. Tony Khan and his inability to find professional people and his inability to squash issues in the locker room has nothing to do with the unprofessional behavior in the locker room...those are caused solely by CM Punk. In this particular case, some would say that Rush being an unprofessional mark for himself in the past may have contributed to this situation. Also, Jungle Boy being an aloof goof who treats the fans badly may have contributed as well. Some could (stupidly) attribute some blame to the agents of the match and Khan himself for not seeing that there could be an issue. All of those parties are blameless because CM Punk exists and he once said that abortion should be allowed so I hate him for that and will blame him for everything. signed: almost every AEW mark

[@JaculaDudek]

Humble pie isn't tasty, Jungle Boy

[@jaimecampos4700]

I feel for Rush. He is being forced to job to everyone.

[@giantotter319]

Because of being an unprofessional prick who cannot follow simple wrestling standards. And after this he'll only be a jobber, for sure.

[@metaforcesaber]

If Jim is serious, then he'll say it's worse than an ultimate warrior match.

[@TriplomatX]

It wasn't THAT BAD, it was just RUSH doing RUSH shit because he got the clear to do it becuase Jungle Boy is a player not the captain.

[@rowdyjohnnada952]

​@@TriplomatX for real it was just another Rush match. JB is just mad weak and looked even weaker in that match.

[@TriplomatX]

@@rowdyjohnnada952 I remember watching, like damn......I mean,......Sammy got a jobber 9:1 ratio, Darby was in some silly tag match that I actually forgot he was in, & Jungle Boy gets RUSH,........Cocaine Booking.

"Hey babe, wake up!! Corny's being nice to Jungle Boy!!! 😮"

[@zjmusashi]

I was in attendance for this match - not sure how it came across over TV, but before the show started Rush and his entourage came out and cut a classic heel promo trying to get us to boo him. The funny part was about halfway through the Rush/JB match you could feel a shift in the audience as we stopped booing Rush and started cheering for him.

[@datoad7883]

Agree totally with Jim, but I've seen Rush do this to a few guys in a few different promotions. He's very stiff and beats the shit out of people...I like him😂

[@METALGEARSOL1D]

It has to be that Corny doesn't know Rush. He should've been loving this. He always talks about Pockets, but Jungle Boy is a freaking Twink. Someone finally did a realistic match with Jungle Boy (he's a freaking boy) and Corny is pissed. I don't understand.

[@durden2480]
