10 Unnecessary AEW Details You Need To Know
3. Jungle Boy Won Gold EXACTLY 1 Year After Tarzan Boy's AEW Debut
From the second Tarzan Boy rang out around an AEW arena for the very first time back on January 5, 2021's episode of Dark, it felt as though Tony Khan had landed on something that could definitely help elevate one of his four pillars and Jurassic Express as a whole.
Fans increasingly got behind and connected with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus on the back of TK investing in this catchy and easy to participate in theme song, with the twosome getting more and more over as the months rolled by and crowds began to return to arenas.
And by the time 2021 was reaching its end, the All Elite faithful were very much ready to see Jack Perry and his dino pal lift their first piece of AEW gold.
Just a few days into 2022 they did exactly that, toppling The Lucha Bros. on January 5's edition of Dynamite. And as pointed out by WhatCulture's own Michael Sidgwick on Twitter, Jurassic Express' AEW World Tag Team Championship win came exactly one year after Khan gave Jungle Boy a late Tarzan Christmas Present.
Interesting fact: Jungle Boy debuted Tarzan Boy as his theme on the January 5, 2021 Dark, and won the World Tag Team Title EXACTLY one year later. Cool milestone underscoring that, in AEW, literal investment in a push will pay off long-term. https://t.co/wSKbp05fD6
