If Jack Perry's being punished with a New Japan excursion that's working well for him, that's really, really funny.

As someone who likes Perry a lot, the heel turn showed a lot of greenness to him. A run in Japan is only going to do him good.

Jack has some potential and some seasoning in Japan could do wonders. Mind you things have changed over the decades, but guys like the Bucks, Omega, Kevin Owens, Wayne, PAC, Ricochet, and countless others EXCELLED after one Japan tour.

Mind you things have changed over the decades, but guys like the Bucks, Omega, Kevin Owens, Wayne, PAC, Ricochet, and countless others EXCELLED after one Japan tour. It's why I want AEW to do more and more meaningful excursions; Japan has itself been proving for a long time that the same can work in reverse. A new place to work that doesn't have a vested interest in having to keep you presented as someone who's one day a star will force you to adapt and do new things, force you to work with new people and different styles, and then have you come back better rounded for it. It doesn't magically give you the tools, and plenty of people have shown that a run in Japan won't magically make you great, but if you have the talent and you have the pieces, it's a great way to be able to finally put them together and come out the other side a way stronger talent than you would if you just stayed in the normal bubble of whoever's already booking you and never got to grow.

Ol Dave worked himself in a shoot, brotherjackdude
I give this development 5 and 3/4 stars. Woulda been the full 6 if Dave had tweeted from The Dome.

Working New Japan and being brought into the most popular sub-faction (in Japan anyway) of Bullet Club. Yes, such punishment.

So, I know the excursion is helping Jack significantly, but (since i haven't caught New Japan since Riddle was announced) has his addition helped the presentation/vibe of House of Torture?

Aw man he's not doing another "Spooky gimmick which is spooky because...a mask I guess?" thing is he? Now I really hope TK is pissed at him.

How many people in AEW are now wishing Punk was still there so they could also piss him off and get a trip to New Japan?

It’s a pretty weird punishment to get banished to look great in another company whilst still under contract. TK playing some real 4D chess with that one.

Oh yeah if Meltz is reporting this then it's probably the opposite lmao. It's been hilarious to see how much Dave has gotten wrong this year alone. I'm not even a Dave hater but man he is on some run lately lol

I'm not even a Dave hater but man he is on some run lately lol Same. I end up defending Meltzer a lot just because I feel like a lot of the hate is less toward him (as I think there's a lot to criticize about him) and more about the very idea of a wrestling critic or reporter. So I'm actually very bile-fascinated by him having bizarre doomposty takes and faulty scoops.

As much as I loathe House of Torture, the faction is huge in Japan, they love it over there as much as oh my god personally it f***ing blows lmfao
So it's not a punishment optics wise, like at all for Jack.
