Eric Bischoff Doubles Down On Jack Perry – “He Should Not Have Been On That Show”
Eric Bischoff expanded on his tweet that claimed “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry had no business being on Forbidden Door.
Forbidden Door saw Jack Perry attempt to unseat SANADA as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. He was unsuccessful, and after the bout, he launched a surprise attack on his tag team partner HOOK, turning heel for the first time in his AEW career.
While the heel turn was a major talking point coming out of the show, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff was less than impressed with Perry’s performance, taking the star to task on social media.
He expanded on his thoughts during the most recent episode of 83 Weeks, going so far as to claim that Perry shouldn’t have been booked on the show at all with such a lackluster performance.
“I was less than impressed. I don’t get it. I don’t want to be critical, but Jungle Boy’s work, and I tweeted it out last night, he couldn’t crack an egg with a hammer. He just didn’t look believable to me so much so that it actually, I don’t want to say it made me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan, but he was out of place. He should not have been on that show. I can’t put my finger on it.
“He looked not-interested, is the way I felt about it. I don’t know how else to describe it. The forearms and some of the things that he was laying in there looked like he was trying not to make contact. I hope it was just an off night because if that’s an example of some of his best work and him getting up for a major show in front of a huge audience, I don’t know man. It doesn’t make sense to me.”
