The Young Bucks believes the recent controversy surrounding Jack Perry will help him become AEW’s next breakout star.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Matthew and Nicholas Jackson recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. When asked about Jack Perry’s reaction last Friday night at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Windy City Riot, the EVPs believe that the Scapegoat has been the next breakout star for a while.
“He’s been the next breakout star for a while now, and he just needed something controversial to happen to him to open people’s eyes,” Nicholas Jackson said. “It happened with us early on in our careers, too.”
Matthew revealed that Perry was one of his first AEW hires and believes his recent time in Japan will allow him to return to the company with a new edge and swagger.
“Jack Perry was one of my original AEW hires,” Matthew Jackson said. “I saw a video clip of him on the indies, and then I went and watched everything I could find. Years prior, I’d heard stories about a nine-year-old boy being brought to wrestling training in Southern California by his celebrity dad Luke Perry. I wondered, whatever happened to that kid?
“Apparently, he’d been working hard and turning into a heck of a talent. I watched the videos and thought, ‘Whoa. Young, handsome SoCal kid with a great head of hair. Seems misunderstood. Has tons of confidence. He reminds me a lot of me and Nicholas at his age.’
Jack Perry has a chip on his shoulder
“Coming back from Japan, Jack Perry now has that edge and swagger. And coming off all of this BS he’s been dealing with, he has a chip on his shoulder. He’s a dangerous cat right now and is about to blow up.”
Many fans expect Perry to make his All Elite Wrestling return as soon as this Sunday at AEW Dynasty.
