Jim Cornette criticized AEW's utilization of Luchasaurus during former WWE star Christian Cage's post-match segment on Dynamite.
Luchasaurus and Christian won their first tag team match together against The Varsity Blonds (Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison) last week. After the bout, the sound of familiar music delighted the crowd as Jungle Boy made a surprising return.
The 25-year old had a steel chair in hand and was about to hit his former tag team partner. However, Luchasaurus stepped aside, letting Jungle Boy go after the former WWE Tag Team Champion. In doing so, the powerhouse seemingly turned face.
Speaking on an episode of The Jim Cornette Experience, the former WWE manager was flabbergasted about how the segment went down. He noted that Christian was on fire as a heel, and he thought this was the first time that he would have complemented Luchasaurus.
"What the f*ck happened here? They had some... okay, Christian Cage, he's a heel. He's doing the best promos in the company and he's got this giant monster with him that can be his enforcer and take care of his physical business and it is the first time that we've ever had one godd*mn good thing to say about that jacked tattooed imbecile that thinks he's a f**king dinosaur and suddenly he's a player in the wrestling business for about a week," said Cornette. [from 3:02 - 3:30]
The veteran continued and exclaimed that AEW's decision to have Luchasaurus turn face was nonsensical.
"Until now, he changed his mind. He didn't mean to turn on Jungle Boy and align himself with Christian and f**kin heard all those people at Christian's behest including 90 seconds previously. I don't know whether they're on drugs they don't need to be on or they're not on drugs they need to be on," he added. [from 3:32 - 4:00]

The rivalry between former WWE Superstar Christian Cage and Jungle Boy continues to heat up
The feud between Christian Cage and Jungle Boy started on the Road Rage edition of Dynamite, where the former brutally attacked the young star with a chair.
Over the next few weeks, Cage disparaged Jungle Boy's family, especially his father, the late actor Luke Perry. The former WWE star also manipulated Luchasaurus into turning heel.
From there, the two decimaed anyone who got in their way, including Matt Hardy, Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr. However, their brief reign of terror ended when Jungle Boy returned last week on Dynamite.
It will be interesting to see how the build-up to the Christian-Jungle Boy rivalry continues from here on out. Fans will have to stay tuned to see what happens next.
