Jack Perry is back!
After weeks of teases on Being The Elite, the former TNT Champion made his shocking return during the four way ladder match that saw him and Luchasaurus reunite. It appears that the duo is heading into a feud against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson of The Young Bucks and we should be able to find out on this Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite as Jurassic Express will make their return.
However, prior to Perry’s return, the 28-year-old was out of action for over seven months and it wasn’t due to injury. Apparently, Jack was only supposed to be gone for a month, according to the man himself during his recent interview with VICE, but plans ultimately changed.
"I thought I was gonna be off a month or two and then be back. But then things just change a lot and that’s how it goes. I will say, Luchasaurus and I were always going to be back together doing something. We knew that from the day that we broke up as a tag team the first time. I also felt I had such a good run the year before. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to top that right now.’ We concluded this is probably the best time for us to do this."
Despite his delayed comeback, Perry is excited to work with Luchasarus again. Perry spoke about his Jungle Boy days and recalled how he came up with the character.
"People were always trying to push me to be my dad and do 90210. They’re like, ‘Oh, wouldn’t it be funny if you’re from Beverly Hills and this and that?’ No, guys. I really don’t want to do that. I’m trying to do my own thing here. So when I got the Jungle Boy thing, they’d say, ‘Can you send a promo and say this?"
Perry also talked about a storyline he despised and surprisingly it was the four pillars story that led into Double or Nothing 2023.
"The pillars thing up to that point was the most miserable I had ever been. I didn’t wanna do that at that time. I literally said, I begged, I was like, ‘Can we do this later? I feel like this is only really benefiting one person and we all could grow so much more.’ I was kinda floating around killing time until he got back so I could beat him. After I beat him, the next thing I got put in was that. I was like, ‘Could you guys let me get going a little bit? Sammy could be built up even more, Darby, and this could be a huge thing where any one of us could win the world title at the end of this."
As previously stated, Perry will make his return to Dynamite this Wednesday on the company’s sixth anniversary show.
