RUNNING BACK to the JUNGLE

one thing about me? i'm gonna have muses that people either love or fucking HATE. no in between. jack perry, former scapegoat.. formerly jungle boy, and now just ... jungle jack.

time has never been on jack's side, nor privacy. jack was born under spotlights and cameras. his baby pictures littered tmz's website whenever he publicly appeared with his family.  he couldn't escape them,  they were an extension of his life,  all the media training and self-actualization couldn't prepare him for a life with no privacy.  managing to avoid public appearances throughout the puberty years was beneficial but also, detrimental. social media was nonexistent in his life till after high school, he couldn't handle the pressure of everyone wanting to know his every move, every thought,  every detail of his life.  when he got to aew.  he thought he had it all figured out.  but the pressure, it overtook him. one accident drop of an jobber, and another near faint on dynamite led to jack being demoted to dark/elevation, where, he barely showed his face.  imposter syndrome + eating issues make for an angry jack perry. failed mentorships with christian cage and cody rhodes.

the chip grew, and grew, and here he is now.  he can't seem to escape controversy, follows him wherever he goes. he feels abandoned, he feels alone, he feels scared. sooner or later, he may come to realize that it's him. that it was him all along, but he can't handle that.
