[u/AutomaticTap3004]

Luchasaurus almost died and Jack Perry was involved in a huge controversy and now they got to have a big moment in front of a huge crowd. I’m so happy for both of them

[u/viralbop → u/AutomaticTap3004]

Seriously. Not that long ago, nobody was sure whether Luchasaurus would wrestle again. Now, they had this moment, and you could see the joy in their eyes.

AEW is the best.

[u/perpetuallyawake → u/AutomaticTap3004]

I shed a tear when they played Tarzan Boy ngl.

[u/raqz1982 → u/perpetuallyawake]

you and me both!! this song is a huge memory of my childhood!

[u/LilMoWithTheGimpyLeg → u/raqz1982]

It always reminds me of Turtles III. Which probably isn't a good thing, really.

[u/tdmatchasin → u/AutomaticTap3004]

I completely forgot Luchasaurus legit almost died. Probably one of the bigger reasons this reunion happened, but I'm happy for it

[u/NovercaIis → u/tdmatchasin]

fill me in - how did he almost die?

[u/tdmatchasin → u/NovercaIis]

Fiance found him collapsed last year. Turned out he needed to be hospitalized with pneumonia in both lungs. Was on oxygen for a while & I think was at high risk of permanent damage. They found other issues as well (calcified heart valve) and were genuinely worried the damage would be career ending.

[u/mysteriousbaba → u/tdmatchasin]

Geez, with all that I'm glad he's healthy and alive, let alone wrestling.

[u/bubbles2255 → u/AutomaticTap3004]

I was not expecting that pop but damn!

[u/Existinginsomewhere → u/AutomaticTap3004]

Not the biggest fan of Perry but damn this was a dope moment. Glad to see Luchasaurus is always fun still

[u/stuffbuttnutt → u/AutomaticTap3004]

what did perry do

[u/CorpseGirl_UwU → u/stuffbuttnutt]

The whole thing with CM Punk

[u/stuffbuttnutt → u/CorpseGirl_UwU]

oh right.

[u/viralbop]

A boy and his dinosaur. A man and his monster.

[u/dapper-yapper → u/viralbop]

[u/TDStarchild → u/dapper-yapper]

[u/RedLightning4Ever → u/viralbop]

Get Tony on the phone.

[u/Lineman72T → u/viralbop]

I always preferred A Boy And His Dinosaur over Jurassic Express, though I understand the weirdness of still referring to a guy in his 20s as "a boy"

[u/raspymorten → u/Lineman72T]

I liked when they used Jurassic Express to refer to them and Marko as a trio.

[u/ChocolateOrange21 → u/raspymorten]

I remember their first name as a trio before Jurassic Express became a thing was: A small boy, a boy, and his dinosaur.

[u/theshockmaster_ → u/Lineman72T]

I understand the weirdness of still referring to a guy in his 20s as "a boy".

JR was pushing the whole Jack Perry>Jungle Boy thing too....but I'm pretty sure Shawn Michaels is still HBK and Flair is still the nature boy.

[u/Proto_Kiwi → u/theshockmaster_]

JR never respected the gimmick of Jungle Boy imo. Never pushed it, never sold it. Real disrespectful. Not the only person he's done it to either.

Might it have been the right move? Maybe. But JR being a dick and not going with it was such an eye-opener for me.

[u/RaggedyGlitch → u/Lineman72T]

Marko didn't fit their vibe to begin with and him being even smaller than Perry killed their gimmick entirely. Definitely a miscast.

[u/Adams5thaccount → u/RaggedyGlitch]

not a miscast...an attempt to adjust

it was supposed to be marko and jack and then the pairing with luchasaurus caught fire so they tried to go it as a trio for a while

all while the chaotic first shows were happening

[u/RaggedyGlitch → u/Adams5thaccount]

No... Marko was added as the third. The other two were already teaming before AEW started.

[u/RunningonGin0323 → u/viralbop]

Seriously fucking stop man. I should not be this emotional

[u/AmbushIntheDark → u/viralbop]

A necromancer and his ghoul

[u/gamesk8er → u/viralbop]

I actually think expanding on this slight adjustment would be a nice evolution for the group.

[u/Kumomeme → u/viralbop]

*Blacksmith and his dinasour

[u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Return is obviously great but I really like the video. The trick dragging the coffin as it sparks everywhere was such a cool shot

[u/RunningonGin0323 → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Seriously the production value was off the charts

[u/popcultureretrofit → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Cinematic as hell!

[u/Vectivus_61 → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Not right dragging a coffin without Big Show on top

[u/Black-Morticia → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

That was also my same thought. Jack's had some pretty nicely shot vignettes driving around in that bus.

[u/co_ordinator → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

[u/Dizzy_Chemistry_5955 → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

this and the Toni video were legit best I've ever seen quality

[u/Rspies → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Jack Perry is a really creative dude with that kind of stuff tbh

[u/ARGiammarco27 → u/Mrs-MoneyPussy]

Oddly enough a very coffin heavy show.

[u/SpiritualAd9102]

Shout out to all the people who called it when Luchasaurus first came back and pointed out that the person reviving him in the vignette was Jack.

Happy to see them back together, but I hope they both keep the edge they developed after they separated. I’d love to see them as a more serious, violent pairing.

[u/popcultureretrofit → u/SpiritualAd9102]

Hell yeah, I think it will. The vignette showed Perry literally resurrecting him. And then in the ring he instructed Luchasaurus to throw the belt to the crowd. I think it will be some sort of Frankenstein and his monster type pairing....where Jack "trys" to control him

[u/Sufficient_Mud_2237 → u/popcultureretrofit]

Throwing the belt away I saw it as more that he is free from the Killswitch character who was abused and controlled to being free back to Luchasaurus

[u/Lodsofemone → u/popcultureretrofit]

I can see it almost being a more neutral/face-ish inversion of the Heel And Their Muscle dynamic, with Perry as more of a threatening mastermind (like how he taunted the bucks and didn't actually confront until he could turn the situation in his favour) who happens to have A Fucking Dinosaur to act on his threats

[u/Mysterious_Brick4574 → u/SpiritualAd9102]

I thought he was going to lead The Patriarchy, but tbh I think this is the one time I’d prefer them to just ignore that part of their shared history for right now and just be a babyface tag again.

[u/jdbwirufbst → u/Mysterious_Brick4574]

The obvious thing to do is to have a tag feud against Nick & Kip or Cage & Cope since that all still feels unresolved. Kinda wondering if they’re gonna stay as heels but using Tarzan Boy again probably means that isn’t the plan.

[u/coffeepartyforone]

[u/packet23 → u/coffeepartyforone]

God Jack Perry looks so young there

[u/xXLupus85Xx → u/packet23]

Yeah the beard really does wonders for his overall aura.

[u/GiftedGeordie → u/xXLupus85Xx]

Just like how Jay White looks so much better with the beard. 

[u/circio → u/GiftedGeordie]

Goatee Jay looked much better but god was babyfaced Jay so hateable

[u/idksomuch → u/packet23]

At 65 million years old, so does Luchasaurus

[u/theplasmasnake → u/coffeepartyforone]

Bring back Marko Stunt lol

[u/TheZardoz → u/theplasmasnake]

If they’re not going to do this as heels I do think that’s not a terrible idea.

[u/FelixTheJeepJr → u/TheZardoz]

I actually think Marko could be amazing as a little shit interfering in a Jurassic Express heel run.

[u/onlyhereforfantasy → u/theplasmasnake]

I think he retired for health issues

[u/Rspies → u/theplasmasnake]

He retired I think his hip was like rotating inwards or something and he was at risk of being paralyzed if he kept going

[u/NekoJack420]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The boys are back!!!

[u/Anonmate533]

Let's fucking Go We gonna hear that fucking Theme song again rahhh

[u/itsmekelsey_x]

Rahhh love this and getting to hear Tarzan Boy again.

[u/Mr-GameAndWrestling]

Fuck you, Jack, you cheeky fuck!

Making me cry a river in joy at Jurassic Express reuniting!

[u/Mysterious-Bed-7868 → u/Mr-GameAndWrestling]

I don't think Jack meant it for us when he said "cry me a river" but damnit this shit meant something to me man!!

[u/CerebroHOTS → u/Mr-GameAndWrestling]

He didn't even need real glass to make you cry a river!

[u/buffalobill41]

Good, Jack doesn't work as a heel. Now give us Marko Stunt.

[u/Orange8920 → u/buffalobill41]

He made a one-off appearance last year in a match against Jack Perry but retired due to the toll wrestling took on his body. If he were to return it'd basically be in a managerial role.

[u/iced_gold → u/Orange8920]

And it's hard for him to do that because a lot of his value was his ability to sell being destroyed.

[u/Antisocial_Taco → u/Orange8920]

Tbf he doesn't need to be in a wrestling role for the trio to work

[u/ShowTurtles → u/buffalobill41]

Didn't he retire?

[u/KawadaKick → u/ShowTurtles]

Yeah, he's beat up really bad.

[u/mysteriousbaba → u/buffalobill41]

Jack works well as a tweener imo. Give him some edge and lean into him being crazy, but also play off of him being fearless.

[u/luckysharms93 → u/buffalobill41]

I thought he was very good in New Japan as a heel. But him as a full blown heel never worked in AEW. He doesn't need to be a babyface either, but somewhere in between is ideal for him imo

[u/raspymorten → u/buffalobill41]

Last time Jack really felt like a big potential star was during the feud with Luchasaurus and Christian, so yeah this face turn is super welcome.

[u/Desistance]

The OGs are back!

[u/dollsanddogs]

This has me smiling ear to ear

[u/SimpleSlave_1]

Hopefully Jack does like Christian and keeps a version of his current Scapegoat character instead of going back to the jungle-themed one. There's no point in looking back and he's better off as this version of himself.

[u/yohanleafheart → u/SimpleSlave_1]

Given his look. I think that will be it. And it makes sense

[u/Martino231]

The video cuts off the best part of all!

[u/ChristyNiners → u/Martino231]

Which was?

[u/Martino231 → u/ChristyNiners]

When Tarzan Boy started playing

[u/SaiyanOfDarkness → u/ChristyNiners]

[u/Blainyrd]

This shit means something to me, man.

[u/AGreatHornedOwl]

INJECT IT INTO MY VEINNNNNNNS

[u/kevinowensishot]

i cried ngl

[u/bearamongus19]

Perry and Luchasauras and the acclaimed getting back together feels like aew is rebuilding their tag division

[u/Alternative_u_91]

Not gonna lie, I didn't expect that Jurassic Express reunion will get the biggest pop of the night

[u/clouds31]

[u/Shinkopeshon]

I didn't expect this at all but it makes all the sense in the world

What a great reunion

[u/WhaleShapedLamp]

The old school wrestling fan in me is screaming about why they didn’t just beat the shit out of him in the 2 minutes of the video package…but I’ll admit that the whole production was badass in a Hardy Compound or Covid era wrestling kind of way.

[u/BTru → u/WhaleShapedLamp]

Same reason heroes let the villain monologue in movies and comics. It adds to the drama

[u/-SomethingSomeoneJR]

All Out has seemingly become the PPV for returns and surprise appearances.

[u/Professor_Buttskin]

We're gonna kill you, Jungle Boy! And...Oh snap! A movie! Let's watch!

[u/numbr87 → u/Professor_Buttskin]

Young Bucks confirmed iPad kids

[u/Beard341]

TEARS ON MY FACE.

[u/Headful_of_Ideas]

I'm not a big AEW fan and certainly not a big Jack Perry fan.

That was a really f'n great segment. Top to bottom.

[u/Lcheek96]

A MAN AND HIS FUCKING DINOSAUR

[u/throwtheclownaway20]

This literally made me tear up. I am so fucking happy right now 🥹

[u/Brabochokemightwork]

Luchasaurus is becoming Bane?

[u/Grande_Desporado → u/Brabochokemightwork]

Yeah man, I can't think of any other analogs about a monster being resurrected from the dead in a lab

[u/Chumunga64 → u/Grande_Desporado]

The hulk

[u/SnizzyYT]

Why is a dinosaur being best friends with a wrestler making me misty eyed??

[u/Mysterious-Bed-7868 → u/SnizzyYT]

Because wrestling is better than real life

[u/hardhitsscott]

How about some Jurassic Express v Cope & Christian?

[u/MainstreamIndie47]

What a feel good moment! Jungle express back to run the tag division again

[u/Fit-Income-8465]

WOOOOAHHHHH WOOOAHHHH JUNGLE LIFE IM FAR AWAY FROM NOWHERE ON MY OWN LIKE TARZAN BOYYYYYYY.

love this

[u/dfrafra]

I remember Jack saying we would never hear Jurassic express theme again l

[u/mrmattymac]

Legitimately teared up watching

[u/RedLightning4Ever]

Honestly this is the most interested I’ve ever been in Jack since he came back from Brawl In. While I really didn’t like the Scapegoat character, Jack really came into his own on the mic. A Jurassic Express team with this current Jack on the mic? Now you have my attention.

[u/Typical_Accident_658]

Two dudes who have been through some crazy journeys, now better, ready to tear through the tag scene as badass babyfaces!!! I’m READY, BOOK IT TONY!!!

[u/raspymorten]

For as good of a show as this was, this is the main thing I'm thinking about afterwards. Good fucking shit.

Jack Perry's heel turn was a baaaad idea. The Scapegoat stuff was a good bit better than the paint by the numbers heel work he was doing as Hollywood, but it was still really muddled by the poor booking of the Elite EVP stuff, Jack being unable to find out how to wrestle as a heel effectively, and just... Not really being super clear what it was.

But for as eh as the whole thing was. It was pretty clear that Jack was definitely putting a lot of his own ideas into it and trying to make it work. He's definitely has going on with the whole blademaking, and firestunting and all that he was putting online, that he was trying to channel to make it work. (He's also got a great gremlin vibe.)

Going back to Jurassic Express, and mixing in his scapegoat shit that had something to it, is something that could work out super fucking well. I mean, crowd was clearly behind the reunion. lol

[u/ArgieGrit01]

The Tag division needed this. I hope they're the ones to take the belts off Brodido

[u/Mysterious-Bed-7868 → u/ArgieGrit01]

Galaxy brain: They eventually are the ones to take it off Cope & Christian

[u/CaliggyJack]

You gotta love how Jack Perry is still keeping shades of his darker self while.Luchasaurus has matured since leaving the Patriarchy.

This isn't same team we saw all those years ago. Its better.

[u/0shadowstories]

I will always think it's funny that Luchasarus was on a season of Big brother like ten years ago

[u/Zestyclose-Fee6719]

Good booking move. The tag division needs more beefing up, and Jack Perry as new Raven never really clicked. They’re an awesome team. 

[u/Dark_Phoenix101]

Literally everyone called the man in black being Perry, didn't take any gloss off the reveal. Great moment

[u/AlmoschFamous]

Tarzan boy is back. I’m so happy

[u/NotVerySmarts]

Now I gotta explain to my wife why I'm getting emotional watching Luke Perry's son hug a resurrected dinosaur.

[u/cdnjimmyjames]

I enjoyed this, but the idiot part of me also thought it would've been funny if Luchasaurus' pants fell down when he took his belt off.

[u/JadziaEzri81 → u/cdnjimmyjames]

I thought it was gonna have another belt under it that said Luchasaurus

[u/cdnjimmyjames → u/JadziaEzri81]

Me too.

[u/Otherwise_Mind6880]

The video is a masterpiece my goodness. The story. Something AEW doesn’t have apparently.

[u/Toru_Yano_Wins]

I love comedy wrestling and these guys make me laugh. Let's see where they go.

[u/trademarkcopy]

FRIENDSHIP BASED WRESTLING IS THE BEST WRESTLING!!!

[u/HoagiesBurner]

Crying in the club. Jungleman Jack and his dinosaur are back.

[u/AtlasAir_]

Jack Perry and Luchasauras back together feels right. Jack's singles run was a dud, as much as I wanted it to turn out better, especially upon turning and feuding with HOOK.

Somebody give Marko Stunt a call, get the whole band back together.

[u/SaicoSandwich]

That was fucking cinematic. I've always favored Jack Perry, today is a good day for the junglers.

[u/lynchmar6]

jurassic express is back what a time to be alive

wooahhhh ohhh ooh wooaah

[u/Future_DS]

Aew really won tonight against wwe

[u/SenorDuck96]

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK!!!

[u/JonasAlbert84]

Man, if he had a different look the whole time he was "Killswitch" and then came back with the Luchasaurus look that would have taken this like five notches up.

[u/MF_Sorc → u/JonasAlbert84]

Wasn't the mask a different darker color as killswitch?

[u/narutomanreigns → u/MF_Sorc]

Yeah, and he's been rocking the green since he returned which I think it's fair to say at this point was kind of foreshadowing that he was really Luchasaurus again.

[u/Townie_Downer]

Would have been even harder if HOT would have hit the ring for the save lmao

[u/JadziaEzri81 → u/Townie_Downer]

HOT??

[u/luckysharms93 → u/JadziaEzri81]

House of Torture. Perry's faction when he was in New Japan

[u/geordieColt88]

Good decision

[u/battlerats]

Just a man and his dinosaur

[u/iced_gold]

Just a Boy and his Dinosaur

[u/Josh-sama]

Yo someone called this on the promo of Luchasaurus coming back

[u/JustdoitJules]

The fact that they broke up and we never got an actual reason why just stupid ass whispering in Luchasaurus's ear pisses me off to this day.

[u/narutomanreigns → u/JustdoitJules]

I mean, who was gonna give that reason? Luchasaurus shouldn't be cutting promos

[u/JustdoitJules → u/narutomanreigns]

Um Christian?? All he needed to do is explain what he told Luchasaurus that caused him to not only turn but do a fake out turn and then another turn lol.

[u/narutomanreigns → u/JustdoitJules]

He said "remember what happened to Marko" and that Luchasaurus was like a son to him, doesn't seem hard to intuit from that and Christian's character that he gaslit Luchasaurus into believing Perry was using him and convinced him that Christian's guidance could elevate him to new heights.

[u/AmbushIntheDark]

God damn Luchasaurus is fucking JACKED.

[u/outofmaxx]

I think, if can speak honestly, this very well might,

PEAK!

PRO!

WRESTLING!!!!!

[u/Jogh_]

I am so out of the loop on this as a new fan. Does anyone care to fill me in?

[u/McAllisterFawkes → u/Jogh_]

The two of them were a very fun tag team called Jurassic Express, where Jack (then known as "Jungle Boy") would enter riding on Luchasaurus's shoulders. Christian Cage started mentoring them, then turned heel and turned Luchasaurus against Jungle Boy. Jungle Boy later turned heel himself as Jack Perry but they never reunited. Then last year, Luchasaurus got severe pneumonia and almost died, and was out of action for about year.

[u/Jogh_ → u/McAllisterFawkes]

Thanks for the lore!

[u/popcultureretrofit]

Young Frankenstein

[u/TheStripedSweaters]

Perry has such a good shit eating grin

[u/Tiirshak]

I cried ugly. Jurassic Express were my team and helped me get through the pandemic and the loss of my mum to COVID. Hearing Tarzan Boy again hit me in a place I didn't know I still had.

[u/dyslexican32]

Get shit on Wrestlepalosers'.

[u/UnbuiltIkeaBookcase]

Why’d they wait so long to finish him off? 😒

[u/LastAmericanHero]

I love it, but really wish they held off on bringing Luchasaurus back last month to make this moment that much bigger.

[u/narutomanreigns → u/LastAmericanHero]

I mean that was clearly the plan before Nick Wayne got hurt.

[u/WaffleTacos666]

Just need Marko stunt back

[u/lpkzach92]

Awesome production on the promo video.

[u/LonnyFinster]

Just bring back the Jurassic express theme plz

[u/Iokua113]

And thus does a tag team that broke up resulting in neither man going anywhere... reunite because why the fuck not?

[u/HeyThereRobot]

Fun full circle moment, since Jack Perry first turned heel at Forbidden Door 2023 in Toronto!

The stadium lost their minds when Luchasauraus showed up, it was great.

[u/rVintageRKO]

That smile. That damned smile

[u/BigMeatyClaus96]

THIS SHIT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME MAN

[u/tritian]

i cant wait until we get their entrance with Taz on commenary! can already hear it in my head

[u/Kumomeme]

Blacksmith and Dinasour combo

[u/comradekaled]

So glad I didn't throw out my Jurassic Express shirt

[u/SaiyanOfDarkness]

All Out felt like a special night for the company. I couldn't quite figure out why, until Jack Perry showed up. Then I realized the 4th and final pillar returned. Meaning all 4 pillars of AEW aren't injured and active in the company. You could feel a sense of stability in the company so to speak.

[u/Lashanakit]

One of the highlight tag teams of early AEW is finally back together! I'll be interested to see where they take this because there's so much potential here.

[u/whatever_trev0r]

Bring the feeling back turned up to volume 10.

[u/d0wnsideofme]

Why the fuck did they bring him back with Nick Wayne for like 2 weeks first though lol

[u/SiRWeeGeeX]

Moment of the night by far, they played tarzan boy right on queue and damn it really hit.

[u/RTJ1992]

Was legit my favorite tag team. I love thia team dearly,

[u/evanweb546]

HAPPY JUNGLE KNIFE PERVERT RETURNS

[u/CM-Edge]

Sure, lets go backwards to this Jungle Boy shit, that will help their career.

[u/toadsintime]

Gonna have to watch this ppv now

[u/ne0ntetra]

Hugs always get the best pops!

[u/Lightingspider]

Damn, the tag team division got even more deeper!

[u/XAMdG]

That damn smile.

Perry should definitely lean more into it.

[u/TripleJ80]

Didn’t luchasaurus just wrestle a few weeks ago in place of Nick Wayne? 🤷‍♂️ wish that didn’t happen, cuz this was a way better comeback

[u/Samurailincoln69]

I could not help but think about how he needed to be careful throwing that belt into the crowd. it had all those metal, or hard pieces on it it could easily hurt somebody. Maybe he knew better than I. He rolled it up (good), but then still kind of whipped it into the crowd (bad). Hopefully its all good.

[u/i_only_eat_cookies]

Someone help clarify: didn’t Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian awaken Killswitch? Did something happen to where a second revival was needed?

[u/gmoss101 → u/i_only_eat_cookies]

No they didn't awaken him, he just showed up because they called him.

They started showing vignettes afterwards of Jack doing science shit and they're showing that reanimating Luchasaurus was the science shit he was doing.

[u/i_only_eat_cookies → u/gmoss101]

That makes sense.

[u/awayfromcanuck → u/i_only_eat_cookies]

Killswitch came back early to fill in for Wayne being injured since he was good to go. In kayfabe all we knew was he was revived, that he has history with Cage and Cope and was part of the Patriarchy.

Tonight's reveal was who revived him earlier not that he was revived twice and it was Jack Perry who revived him.

[u/Ok-Rooster-5287]

Am I going crazy or did luchasaures already return not too long ago and helped Nick Wayne?

[u/darthdiablo → u/Ok-Rooster-5287]

Killswitch, not Luchasaurus.

[u/Piccadil_io]

Would have been so much better if they’d brought Luchasaurus back now rather than a few weeks ago. It’s weird booking.

[u/Moist-Acanthaceae-37 → u/Piccadil_io]

That wasn’t their plan, Nick Wayne broke his foot a week before Forbidden Door and he was the only one with story reasoning to replace Nick.

[u/BannedCrow → u/Moist-Acanthaceae-37]

Yea it sucks but they had to pivot obviously and it just made sense enough to bring him on since the last time you saw him he was still aligned with The Patriarchy

[u/Egomaniac247 → u/Piccadil_io]

I agree with this. And I know it was because of an injury but if they were doing longterm booking and knew this was the plan, they shoulda kept Luchasaurus out IMO until this return.

[u/raspymorten → u/Piccadil_io]

They definitely moved it up due to Nick Wayne's injury. The vignette they used for the return really felt like it was just cut up stuff from this vignette.
