Jack Perry has been through quite a bit since the launch of AEW back in 2019.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Jack Perry recently sat down with Scott Fishman of TVInsider. When asked about the passing of his father, Luke Perry, the same year that AEW launched as a company, Jack said it was the best thing to ever happen to him, along with the worst thing to ever happen to him at the same time.
“It was the best thing to ever happen to me with the worst thing to ever happen to me. They kind of went hand-in-hand,” Jack Perry admitted. “It was an interesting time. I’m very grateful to have had this in my life and be a part of it with the people who have been there. I’m looking forward to the future.”
The launch of AEW was an escape for Jack Perry
When asked if All Elite Wrestling’s launch helped him get through that difficult point in his life, Perry said he was very lucky to have something he could pour himself into.
“I felt very lucky I had something I could pour my entire self into,” Jack Perry said. “I was already obsessed with wrestling before that happened, but when it happened, it was right at the same time AEW was taking off. It was like my childhood dream was coming true. It just gave me something I could escape into and at all times work towards being better at.
“Whether that was wrestling or just being in the gym, it gave me a place I could go and occupy my mind with. I felt very grateful for that because not a lot of people have that. It ended up being a very good support system as well. I had some friends already, and met some of the best friends I have now. I just feel it was a real positive thing for me, especially during that time of my life.”
