The bad audio mixing ruined the first half of his promo AEW has had bad audio mixing since the beginning of the promotion. I don't know why they can't fix the issue.

The second angle of the dive into the backseat was glorious.
Love the idea of putting him with Callis and Takeshita.

Iâm still a bit ambivalent towards the turn, because everything about him screams underdog white meat babyface, but the promo was alright. Thereâs that whole thing about how a heel should feel justified in what theyâre saying, and being annoyed by someoneâs pretend vanity title is a pretty reasonable thing to be upset by. Heâs so young that heâs only going to get better, so Iâm cautiously hopeful that this ends up good.

Tony will give him the chance to sink or swim, but I wasn't particularly impressed. He felt like a college kid playing dress up.
There's just so many heels on the show better than Jungle Boy that are more fully realized characters, too. I could see him easily getting lost in the shuffle. If the idea is that he takes a few steps back to take a few steps forward, OK. But if the idea is that this is going to propel him into superstardom or something, I don't think it's going to work.

I... liked it? I don't know. I laughed out loud at how brazen and over-the-top it was. ("I'm still banging THE HOTTEST BITCH in this place!" *winks*) It's like an angsty teen's version of what a heel turn is, and I think that sort of fits Jungle Boy perfectly.

Considering he's about to feud for a title that isn't even officially recognized, I don't think superstardom is on the table just yet.

Yes, let's have fights over who has the hottest girlfriend because that's fun, interesting, and not something immature guys would do. They're all wrestlers. Why not boast about their wrestling skill instead of reducing them down to their looks yet again?

Iâve seen some try hard heel promos in my day but this one takes the cake. I was watching with my lady friend and she says âthis is embarrassingâ. I concur.

I'm terrified of Skye Blue now having to give a "My ass is fatter" promo

JB made me laugh last night, so I don't know what that says about the promo. I think he'll find his footing, but last night was funny.

Ooof it was cringe wasnât it. He had some good lines but he is not a good promo guy. Hopefully he will grow into this. Him immediately going full heel I didnât really like though it should have been more of a gradual process instead of immediately going for usual heel heat tropes.
Think he should lose the first match to Hook and then having hit rock bottom walks into the arms of the hottest bitch in AEWâŠ.Christian.

I hope he can settle into a personality he can back confidently but right now everything about it felt weak. Like he knew the material to go with but he had absolutely nothing to back it up, and that's a problem he's had cutting promos as a face, too. He's just not a great speaker. But as a face he didn't come off as a tryhard the way that promo came off to me last night. It's actually sorta tragic to me that despite feeling like he got exposed as not ready so hard in the Pillars feud he's the challenger who's had the most story development since. I'm just not feeling it still with him and he really needs to work on his speaking and his promo ability because I'd rate him pretty near the bottom now in terms of constant AEW TV presences who get handed a mic.

Are you cool with me publicly bragging about having sex with you like you are a tool?" Alpha male speech certainly enriches the tasteful world of pro wrestling.
