Jack Perry: I Would Rather Wrestle For The People On Tumblr Than The People On Twitter
Jack Perry wants to show out for his Tumblr fans.
Since joining AEW in 2019, fans have remained divided on Jack Perry and the various changes that his character has went through over the years.
Perry seems to be on the good side of most fans again, as he made his return to AEW at the All Out pay-per-view to reunite with Luchasarus. Speaking with Vice for a new interview, Perry said that he discovered Tumblr during his time off.
“In my time off, I ended up discovering what Tumblr was. I saw all this art and great stuff, and people who wanted to create things. There was a time where I think everyone was more obsessed, but I’d always look on Twitter and it was like half the people loved it and half the people, if not more, were just telling me how horrible all this was.”
Perry went on to say that he’d rather wrestle for people on Tumblr than people on Twitter.
“I would rather wrestle for the people on Tumblr than the people on Twitter. I just want to do what I want to do and entertain people. There are people who appreciate it and take it and are inspired by it. And then, to me, if you’re a grown adult who wants to sit at home and just talk s**t about wrestling — you know, you can do whatever you want, but it doesn’t seem like the most productive thing to me. I’m not gonna sit here and try and impress you if you’re determined to hate me. So with the more artistic stuff, I get a lot of, as I said, the old guys. ‘This is weird,’ Dude, whatever. It’s not for you guys. I’m not wrestling for a 60-year-old man. If you love it, that’s great. Nothing against you. But it’s for a different group for the most part.”
Perry finished off the topic by saying that he feels the most free that he ever has in wrestling.
“So I feel now the most free I’ve ever felt to be me and do what I like to do. I’m sure that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s totally okay, but I am really enjoying it, which at this point for me is the most important thing.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jack Perry said that ‘Tarzan Boy’ is here to stay. Check out his full comments here.
