Konnan: For As Much Time As AEW Has Invested In Jack Perry, There’s Still Something Missing About Him
Konnan still doesn’t get the hype of the Scapegoat.
At AEW WrestleDream, Jack Perry racked up another title defense as he retained the TNT Championship against Katsuyori Shibata by pinfall. On his podcast, Keepin’ It 100, Konnan spoke about how he doesn’t understand or click with the gimmick that the Scapegoat embodies in the ring.
“He’s another guy, I mentioned before, that Tony’s fixated on,” Konnan said. “He’s going to make him no matter what, he’s a guy he discovered, and he wants to make him. They’ve invested so much time in him, bro this is one of the worst beatdowns I’ve ever seen okay? And it was probably as whack as the bread truck he rides around in with the name ‘Scapegoat’ on it. I will give him credit, now that he grew a beard, he doesn’t look like he’s 15. Same thing that happened with [Wheeler] Yuta, he grew a beard and no longer looks like a teenager. He does better promos, but there’s still something missing. For as much time as they invest in him, there’s still something missing.”
Perry’s next challenge is expected to be Daniel Garcia who has yet to sign a new deal with All Elite Wrestling.
