From “Jungle Boy” to “Jack Perry”: AEW’s Rising Star Opens Up

In a recent episode of “Hey! (EW)”, AEW’s very own Jack Perry, formerly known as “Jungle Boy”, sat down with the host to discuss his evolution in the wrestling world. The episode aired on August 20, 2023, delved into Perry’s decision to drop the “Jungle Boy” moniker and embrace his real name.

The conversation kicked off with a light-hearted banter about the progression of the “Jungle Boy” name. Perry humorously pointed out the potential pitfalls of sticking with the title, jesting about the possible transitions from “Jungle Tween” to “Jungle Teen” and eventually “Jungle Man”. The host chimed in with a playful jab at wrestlers who cling to youthful nicknames, hinting at those who might still go by “Sexy Boy” well into their late 50s.

Interestingly, Perry revealed that legendary commentator Jim Ross wasn’t a fan of the “Jungle Boy” name, often opting to call him “Jungle Jack Perry” during broadcasts. When asked about his thoughts on Ross, Perry affectionately referred to him as “Jungle Jim”, showcasing their camaraderie.

The conversation took a nostalgic turn when Perry’s late father, the iconic Luke Perry, was brought up. The host humorously mentioned the challenges of growing up with a father who was close friends with David Arquette, though Perry expressed his fondness for Arquette.

The episode gave fans a deeper insight into Jack Perry’s journey, highlighting his growth inside and outside the ring. As he continues to make waves in AEW, it’s clear that Perry is more than just a moniker; he’s a force to be reckoned with.
