Jack Perry Explains Why Doing The ‘Four Pillars’ Storyline Was Miserable

Did you enjoy the “Four Pillars†storyline in AEW? Jack Perry sure didnâ€t.

All Elite Wrestling‘s Jack Perry recently sat down with Haley Miller of VICE. When asked about the four-pillar storyline with himself, MJF, Darby Allin, and Sammy Guevara, Perry revealed that the storyline was the most miserable he had ever been.

“The pillars thing up to that point was the most miserable I had ever been, I didnâ€t wanna do that at that time,†Jack Perry said. “I literally said, I begged, I was like, ‘Can we do this later? I feel like this is only really benefiting one person. And we all could grow so much more.†I had just beaten Christian when that happened and then Christian got injured and that whole thing took way longer than it was supposed to.

“I was kinda floating around killing time until he got back so I could beat him. After I beat him, the next thing I got put in was that. I was like, ‘Could you guys let me get going a little bit? Sammy could be built up even more, Darby, and this could be a huge thing where any one of us could win the world title at the end of this.

Jack Perry believes the “Four Pillars†storyline resulted in fans not liking him

“I felt so not good about what I was doing at the point I was at. I really felt people were starting to turn on me a little there. And I thought, ‘I think I should lean into that and like make this story here. Am I gonna turn to win the world title?†That was met with people being like, ‘No, you gotta stay [face]! Youâ€re Jungle Boy,†yeah, but Jungle Boy has nothing to say and people are starting to not like me. As soon as I started to tease that I was gonna go the other way, people were interested again because I was interested again.

“The heel turn was like a whole new world for me. My main thing there was people told me, ‘youâ€re never gonna be able to be a heel.†I knew I could. Obviously, I wasnâ€t the greatest in the world. There were parts of it that were rocky and I had to figure it out â€cause Iâ€d been Jungle Boy my whole life. To me, it was just to prove that I could do it.â€
