Did he actually do anything of note there apart from leeching off Punk… again?


Rerack_your_weights

I've personally been a big fan of how he's been developing as of late. He really fits right in there with AEW's top stars now as someone that *relentlessly references WWE at every opportunity because they have no personality or creativity of their own to draw upon.*  I'm excited to see him back in All Elite Wrestling!


Zazalae

Literally since day 1 thats how most of them try to get themselves over. Even Cody couldn’t help himself with a nod to ole Triple H in his entrance.


Honato2

I would say to be fair cody at least had a reason to take a shot. he tried his damndest to make it work but he was still stuck as stardust before he got fired? I'm not sure if he was fired or left. and then immediately went off into the world and made himself


TheAnimatorPrime

Real question right there


ripcordelbow

he put the fear of god in nooj fans lol.


Fat_Factor

Ripping off late 90's Raven by the looks of it


rolltide1000

I read this quick as "Late 90's Raven's" and thought he was doing the Ray Lewis dance as his entrance for a sec.


hazzadazza

Man Ray Lewis would have been a fucking fantastic wrestler


DannyDef

WHAT ABOUT ME- WHAT ABOUT JUNGLE BOY?!


Honato2

please do not give them that fucking idea. Raven was great and I have no doubt that they would rip that shit right off and do horrible things with it.


Fat_Factor

That + Raven is an actual Mensa-level genius


DannyDef

If he’s so smart how’d he end up in TNA?


Fat_Factor

Bruce Prichard's weird vendettas + Vince McMahon holding a grudge over him partying with Shane back when he was Johnny Polo which led to Shane constantly calling him "Vick". According to JR, when Raven got signed in 2000 Vince's reaction was "WHO THE FUCK HIRED JOHNNY POLO?!!"


mattbakerrr

Pigeon Boy Jack Perry


Fat_Factor

Chicken Shit Jerk Peri-Peri


HonkedOffJohn

He got the 2k people who went to that nooj show to boo him.


mansontaco

He did the young bucks northern lights combo but managed to make it look even worse so there's that


mp1988alexa

He’s a megastar now you see


JewsEatFruit

You need to think critically with your mind and stop repeating the same lies These man single-handedly depleted the entire supply of cotton and ink from CafePress Learn to THINK ceitically with your MIND 👉😠👈


Kojuroba

Dave is just happy he can put Perry on the pedestal to become the champ and leader for AEW instead of that filthy unrelatable Swerve


Amazing_Karnage

Perry as the "Corporate champ" with the evil Buckaroos vs FTR and Swerve is gonna make Dave look like Randy Marsh in that South Park episode about internet porn.

Amazing_Karnage

Exactly. And when FTR is dancing with Nana, Dave is gonna fucking recreate this picture all over again


Mister_Jackpots

I feel like I saw this 26 years ago. And then 11 years ago. And most recently this month.


Federal-Captain1118

Is FTR pulling a Jericho and latching onto the most popular baby face? They did it once with Punk


mattwing05

Then edge didnt they?


Honato2

From what bald said a couple times they were friends for a long time with edge. possibly neighbors or some shit. quite a long time before edge signed too so I don't think it's a jericho situation.


mattwing05

Fair point


rolltide1000

Recreating the Final Boss and Roman vs. Cody and Seth with some of the people you just mentioned is "Metastasis" levels of poorly ripping off a much better work.

DawnOfLegion1

All hail - The Untalented Raven !!


worktheshoot

Quote the Perry, only bore!


goofyfbucket

He looks like Raven, but has the build of Stevie Richards.


Late_Cookie_7797

That’s disrespectful to Richards. Jungle Jack could never.


goofyfbucket

My bad.


Opening_Succotash_95

Richards could kill Jungle Jack even today. Guy is in great shape.


DawnOfLegion1

and Nova's douchey, punchable face.


Zaphod_Beeblecox

How does he manage to be a bear and a twink at the same time?


hiressnails

I'm pretty sure that's what Otters are.


Mister_Jackpots

Least hetero jerker.


Honato2

otter?


hiressnails

Google it, het-shill.


Threshstolemywife

by not shaving or taking care of his beard while weighting 140lbs and being 5'6


parsnip12345

Hey stop shooting on me


Main_Gain_7480

Think they call that a twink versatile


Nightwingx97

5 bucks on some smarks chanting CM Punk at him


SirACG

New Japan really got fleeced by AEW huh


Late_Cookie_7797

What’d you mean? Just signed away their top stars and now holds their title. That’s how partnerships work! Okada long term fleecing Tony so he won’t snatch younger talent from New Japan is my real favorite story.


OriginalMadmage

It's incredible how NJPW is willing to get fleeced by Tony but they were playing hardball with Nick Khan back when he was trying to form a partnership so Danielson Bryanson could wrestle there and WWE.


anakngtipaklongnaman

New Japan is now just AEW’s NXT 🥲


SpiritGun98

What does that make Ring of Honor?


s_arrow24

Sunday Night Heat


JavierEscuellaFan

lol nah Sunday Night Heat had stories for a while. ROH is more Saturday Morning Slam


ForceANatureYT

Wtf is the point of ROH any more


pseudotunas

More belts, uce.


Honato2

shotgun saturday night


H0vit0

AEW sent Perry down like WWE sending Kross back down 😂😂


Late_Cookie_7797

PARTNERS!


Maleficent_Koala5928

Take notes Dwayne! The real Final Boss is coming back!

RumsfeldIsntDead

They're trying really hard to say it enough that it becomes true. No matter how much they try to will it into existence, him getting punked out backstage is not going to make him this antihero badass.


Honato2

Not a beer truck to spray down tony with would make him the antihero badass.


despe1999

To be totally honest, his short New Japan run was pretty decent imo. Had a feud with one of the biggest babyfaces (with the right person winning), was in HoT, and he didn't overstay his welcome. Now whatever happens to this dude after is all on Tony.


rfepo

True. But the entire run was an exercise in “Pepsi Bad”.


despe1999

For sure, Nooj did what they could despite the background noise related to Perry.


whalias69

TBF Pepsi is a bottom tier name brand soda. I’m much more of a Dr.Pepper fan.


H0vit0

Aldi or Lidl have a Dr Pepper dupe over here in the UK called Professor Peppy and it’s honestly great


VladTheImpaler29

Try the Lidl version of Kinder Bueno's, Uce. Real gamechangers.


H0vit0

What are they called bro?


VladTheImpaler29

Fuck if I know, I get through the seven pack in less than two minutes. Red and white packaging right next to the shoot Kinder B's. Bellona something, I think.


H0vit0

I’ll have a look man. I’m the same with the Jaffa cakes. As soon as they’re open they are GONE. Don’t even exist anymore. It’s like breaking a fiver, once you break it that money no longer exists.


VladTheImpaler29

Went not long after this exchange and did big staredowns with both Jaffa Cakes and Bellona Wafers. Came out with neither, remarkably. 🫡


AceMorrigan

He looks like the I see dead people kid.


Blissfully_

If you gotta say you're the Goat.. you're not.


StupendoesWM

Cagematch scholars know this man should be the face of the dub https://preview.redd.it/1ru1wc5xkivc1.png?width=378&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1535173872b5e4bf714af091f89f48cb5d9a8ba


Fat_Factor

Is he trying to be mini-Raven?

Prancemaster

Bringing Perry back immediately after a resounding negative reaction to the CM Punk footage is just the latest example of Tony's booking malpractice at work. If it were me, I'd keep him out another three months just so the stink of the Bucks/FTR use of that footage is firmly in the rear-view. This also kinda falls on the fans who glaze Tony by being overly complimentary about certifiably mid-tier wrestlers (absolutely nothing wrong with being mid-tier, most wrestlers are), but Tony should know better.


BungHolio_The_Mighty

Why the hell is Raven wearing a goat mask? He's silly.


Honato2

I would guess lots of drugs. They seem to have somehow shrunk him down too.


nimrodfalcon

I think Tony has hiring requirements that are just fuckin weird dude. Just from this picture it’s clear your fivehead must be larger than your biceps to get a job in the dub


WereMadeOfStars

ScapeGOAT


InternationalFailure

These motherfuckers don't know the word 'wait'


GoldenGekko

When Jack Perry becomes a larger star than punk, Tony could hire Griff Garrison to be the fake Jack Perry when he inevitably goes to the dub.


GarfieldVirtuoso

So wait, the storyline calls that jack perry must be a heel, but it will be the hero of aew fans because removing the cancer from the company, so people will cheer someone who is a heel because he removed the big draw of the company while making him look like not the worst fighter in the world


H0vit0

Don’t forget the fact he’s playing up the scapegoat role, when the footage shows he’s actually right he’s probably shouldn’t have been suspended for so long but the man who suspended him is the man who is facilitating the Bucks highlighting all of this as they show on tv every week


ToneZone1978

Oh dear god


jtcxx33

FFS they couldn't even wait until forbidden door


Honato2

What is even left to be forbidden?


AVBforPrez

Horray!! - nobody ever


Eddieairplanes

Is he going to start using the GTS and say he got permission from Kenta?
