10 Things You Didn’t Know About TJ Perkins
3. A Telling Off From Justin Roberts
Despite the brevity of that WWE stint, Perkins still managed to ruffle some feathers during his short time with the company.
In an interview with Talk Impact Radio, he reveals that Justin Roberts gave him an earful for seemingly being a little too showy. After bringing his flashiest gear to the show, WWE’s seamstress intervened to tone it down on the attire front, before later in the ring he’d enter the squared circle with a fancy, springboard front flip of sorts.
Clearly, that’s not how jobbers are supposed to behave, prompting Justin Roberts at ringside to leave Perkins in no uncertain terms to “shut the 'F' up, stop moving around and stop getting over”.
As a result, Perkins was escorted to the ring the following night by a referee who held his hand the entire way to prevent him from going off on one again. Very cute.
Clearly he didn’t leave too much of a negative impression though.
