Rocky Romero talks Jack Perry in NJPW.
Before returning to AEW in April, Jack Perry spent a number of weeks with New Japan Pro Wrestling. In the promotion, Perry aligned himself with the House Of Torture faction and picked up wins over the likes of Shota Umino and Toru Yano.
While speaking to Fightful for a new interview, Romero talked about Jack Perry in the promotion and how it happened.
"I had conversations with Jack, the Bucks, and Tony, obviously. It all in agreeance that it would be the right decision for Jack to come to New Japan. I think a lot of people wanted to see where Jack was going to be, what kind of reaction he was going to get. It was a great opportunity to have Jack in Japan, he’s a phenomenal talent. I like the role he was in with HOUSE OF TORTURE. Obviously, being heels, it’s easy for Jack to be a heel, he’s great at it, and that opened the door for when he comes back because people were excited for him to come back to AEW. The week that the footage aired was the same week as Windy City Riot, which pushed the promotional aspect for Windy City Riot over the top. The heat for him in Chicago was nuts. It was one of the coolest moments we’ve ever had in New Japan of America. Overall, I was really happy and I thought it was a win for both companies, and a big win for Jack. It’s good to have him back on the New Japan side."
