Jack Perry: I Would Rather Wrestle for the People on Tumblr Than The 60-Year-Old Men on Twitter

Lee South Hook vs Jack Perry London, UK AEW All In August 27, 2023

Jack Perry is back and ready to get into the action once again.

After making his shocking return in Toronto, Ontario at AEW All Out. Jack Perry is once again reunited with his best friend, Luchasaurus. The dinosaur and his boy are back in full swing and want to get their revenge on the Young Bucks and others who have done them wrong in the last three years since they disbanded their team.

Speaking with Haley Miller of Vice in an exclusive interview. Perry spoke about the time he spent away from the ring, whether it was making new projects, spending time with loved ones, or bringing back his best friend from the dead.

Perry knew that at the end of the day that a specific audience would enjoy his chaos, while also not caring whatsoever about what a specific other audience thinks about him at the end of the day.

“In my time off, I ended up discovering what Tumblr was. I saw all this art and great stuff, and people who wanted to create things. There was a time where I think everyone was more obsessed, but I’d always look on Twitter and it was like half the people loved it and half the people, if not more, were just telling me how horrible all this was.

I would rather wrestle for the people on Tumblr than the people on Twitter. I just want to do what I want to do and entertain people. There are people who appreciate it and take it and are inspired by it. And then, to me, if you’re a grown adult who wants to sit at home and just talk s**t about wrestling — you know, you can do whatever you want, but it doesn’t seem like the most productive thing to me.

I’m not gonna sit here and try and impress you if you’re determined to hate me. So with the more artistic stuff, I get a lot of, as I said, the old guys. ‘This is weird,’ Dude, whatever. It’s not for you guys. I’m not wrestling for a 60-year-old man. If you love it, that’s great. Nothing against you. But it’s for a different group for the most part.

From bringing back Tarzan Boy to reuniting with his best friend. Perry’s last steps to making sure this is a 2025 to be remembered is by taking out the Young Bucks Matthew and Nicholas Jackson once and for all.
