All Elite Wrestling commentator Jim Ross recently shared his thoughts on people who were critical of his commentary. He recently introduced AEW wrestler Jungle Boy as “Jungle Boy Jack Perry,” which elicited a negative reaction from some fans. Now Jungle Boy himself has weighed in on the introduction.
Speaking with Collider, Jungle Boy admitted that just hearing Jim Ross say his name is a positive experience. He added that if that’s what Ross wants to call him, then “that’s cool with me.”
“Things are a bit different now than when I first kinda started it. […] I feel like I got here, at least, kind of on my own merits. For me, honestly, to even hear Jim Ross say my name is cool. That’s the voice of wrestling to me. ‘Cause when I grew up watching wrestling, he was the guy,” he explained.
Jungle Boy added, “If that had happened at an earlier age and it were someone else, I probably would have said ‘Can you not do that?’ But I’m not gonna say that to Jim. If that’s what it sounds like to him, that’s cool with me.”
Jungle Boy recently teamed with Jurassic Express partner Marko Stunt on AEW: Dynamite. The duo lost to the Lucha Bros. This loss saw them eliminated from the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament.
