Major AEW star's "attitude" will harm himself and Tony Khan's brand, says WWE veteran
AEW President Tony Khan could just have a major problem on his hand due to one of his top star's attitudes, according to Jim Cornette. Recently the veteran assessed a highly criticized live appearance of Jungle Boy and slammed the star for his actions.
Jungle Boy recently sat down with Anna Jay and Ruby Soho in a live Q&A with For The Love of Wrestling during their England tour. Unfortunately, due to Jack Perry's body language and attitude during the event, many fans criticized him, which Jim Cornette agreed with.
During the latest episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the veteran addressed Jungle Boy's attitude and demeanor during the live Q&A.
"Again, you hear constantly about this guy’s attitude and it shows in his performance. He does the cool little combative Cirque du Soleil aggressive parkour and that’s what he likes to do. And when he needs to do anything else, he can’t and he doesn’t want to." (11:20 onward).
Cornette continued, pointing out that Jungle Boy's attitude makes AEW look bad too.
"He’s not just doing it at a flea market in Fresno, but he’s doing it at this high-profile convention and this was a big deal and he’s supposed to be one of the big babyfaces. (…) That’s not good PR for himself and in general." (13:13 onward).
Jungle Boy additionally claimed that he goes to Luchasaurus when he needs help with anything in-ring, but shockingly stated that he refuses to help from WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn. Jim Cornette also assessed these comments and slammed the young star for his priorities.

Jungle Boy seems to be in the AEW camp that's firmly against CM Punk
The Brawl Out Incident rumoredly divided the All Elite Wrestling locker room, and while both parties have remained anonymous, it seems that Jungle Boy is one of those who are on bad terms with The Second City Saint.
The star was once caught liking a tweet that clapped back at Mark Henry's efforts to get the locker room to unite again and accused CM Punk of assaulting people and not just having a disagreement.
I see you, Jack. https://t.co/ALZEUEQk4g
During AEW's media scrum for Full Gear, Jack Perry notably emulated Punk's body language in the infamous All Out 2022 media scrum. While it initially seemed like a light jest, this could have been a protest against the veteran instead. It remains to be seen if the AEW star is on bad terms with CM Punk, but only time will tell.
