Christian Cage reduce a vicious promo on Jungle Boy that invoked his late father, actor Luke Perry.
Cage, who carried out for years in WWE as Christian, was within the ring with Tony Schiavone on “AEW Dynamite” on Wednesday when he made issues very private with the 25-year-old, whose actual identify is Jack Perry. Through the earlier week’s episode, Cage informed Jungle Boy’s mother Rachel Sharp, who was sitting within the entrance row, that she “raised a chunk of s–t.”
“Hear, I used to be solely giving Jungle Boy’s mother the possibility to apologize to me for giving beginning to Jungle Boy, and he or she as a substitute flipped me off,” Cage stated. “However right here’s the factor. Right here’s why I believe she’s actually mad. I believe she noticed her knight in shining armor go off into the sundown. I believe she was just a little candy on Christian Cage if what I imply. I believe she needed me to be Jungle Boy’s father.
“And right here’s the factor, I do know Jungle Boy checked out me like a father determine. He certain did. However right here’s the factor, Jungle Boy: I by no means needed to be your father. I by no means needed to be your father determine. You've gotten a father. However your father’s useless — and that’s most likely an excellent factor, Jungle Boy, as a result of he’d be embarrassed and ashamed to see the way you turned out.”
Luke Perry, most well-known for his position as Dylan McKay in “Beverly Hills 90210, died in 2019 on the age of 52.
This promo from Cage crossed the road — and that was the purpose.
Skilled wrestling straddles the road between actual and scripted, and private animosity builds curiosity within the matches.
One comparatively current instance of a deeply private promo like this was in 2015, when Paige was feuding with Charlotte Aptitude in WWE, and introduced up her late brother, Reid, who tragically died of a drug overdose in 2013.
Cage and Jungle Boy had had an on-screen mentor/mentee relationship till Cage turned final week, delivering a savage beatdown.
Given how the arc of professional wrestling sometimes goes, one imagines that Jungle Boy’s comeuppance for this line-crossing is a matter of when, and never if.
