AEW's Chris Jericho Names 'The Next Big Superstar In Wrestling'
Chris Jericho knows exactly who is going to be the next big thing in AEW and beyond.
What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Yes it is, and on that monster's shoulders sits the man Chris Jericho has dubbed the 'next big thing' in pro wrestling.
AEW's finest answered some rapid-fire questions for The Hollywood Raw Podcast recently, and didn't hesitate to name Jungle Boy as the next breakout phenomenon in the industry. When they're asked this sort of thing, wrestlers usually ring of a list of names, but not Jericho.
He thinks Jungle Boy is going straight to the top.
The 23 year old is currently aligned with Luchasaurus (aforementioned monster) and Marko Stunt on AEW programming. Whether they stick together, go their separate ways or not, Jericho is sure that Jack Perry has a bright future ahead of him.
Jungle Boy is definitely a pet project of Tony Khan's in AEW, and has shone when he's been given the chance. If he eventually sheds the Tarzan-esque gimmick, then who knows what he could accomplish.
Jericho certainly thinks it's only a matter of time before the entire wrestling world is talking about what Jungle Boy is doing. Do you agree?
