Jim Ross Praises ‘Jungle Boy’ Jack Perry: He Means A Lot To Me

“Jungle Boy” Jack Perry has embraced using his real name and transitioning the “Jungle Boy” name into a nickname. 

Jim Ross was the first who called him “Jungle” Jack Perry when he was still referred to as Jungle Boy as his wrestling name, which was met with criticism at the time. Now that Jack Perry has started using his name more, Ross has been credited for being ahead of the curve. 

Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross commented on the change and the moment he shared with Jack and his family at AEW Full Gear. 

“He can’t be Jungle Boy forever. This kid has such a bright future, in my opinion, he’s working hard, getting stronger, filling out. He’s young. I had a real nice moment with him, his mom, and his sister after the show. They were fawning over him, as they should, and I told his mom how proud I was of him and I think that meant a lot to them. He does mean a lot to me. I think he’s a nice kid. He was well-raised, good parenting, she has a hell of a talented son,” he said.

Perry defeated Luchasaurus in cage match at AEW Full Gear.
