Jungle Boy would be "halfway paralyzed" by the time he's 60, says WWE veteran after AEW star's scary spot
A WWE veteran recently shared a piece of advice for popular AEW star Jungle Boy Jack Perry. The legend is none other than Dutch Mantell (fka Zeb Colter).
The former AEW World Tag Team Champion wrestled former ROH World Champion Rush on this week's episode of Dynamite. After a hard-fought battle, Jack Perry defeated the Luchador.
During the said match, Jungle Boy and Rush were battling each other on the apron, and a Belly to Belly Suplex from the former ROH World Champion left the 25-year-old star beaten and bruised on the ringside floor.
Upon seeing this spot, the WWE veteran took to Twitter to appreciate the move and the risk taken by both talents. However, Mantell asked fans to let Jack Perry know that he is bound to suffer from dangerous spots like this when he is retired.
"Guys…if somebody knows Jungle Boy, just mention great bump. But remind him that he’s damaging his body quickly. Fans remember that bump 10 minutes. He’ll remember it when he’s 60 and halfway paralyzed. Good luck," Dutch Mantell tweeted.

WWE veteran Dutch Mantell claims young guys will never listen to advice until its too late
Multiple fans responded to Mantell's tweet. One fan wondered if a cruiserweight taking bumps could be more painful than a heavyweight doing so. Dutch Mantell responded by agreeing with the notion and also emphasized the fact that the ringside floor usually has less protection and thus would result in the wrestler injuring their hips and spine.
"Heavier guys absorb bumps more easily. But Junkie Amos is about 180 there about with very little padding in the lower back to shield the spine and hips. Guys learn about it around the time it’s too late."
Some wondered if the AEW star would listen to him, to which the former WWE personality replied by claiming that young guys usually refuse to listen until it is too late.
"Hell no. Young guys don’t listen. They do what they do until one day…they can’t. But sorry Alfredo… too late."
@journeymangamer Hell no. Young guys don’t listen. They do what they do until one day…they can’t. But sorry Alfredo… too late.
Dutch Mantell had also recently warned Jungle Boy Jack Perry to keep a low profile around WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn after he had mentioned that he would never ask Billy Gunn for any advice.
