In case you didn't know

The heart of the matter

Jungle Boy revealed on the Talk is Jericho Podcast that he got to work on the film alongside his father. Here's what he had to say.

It'll be the last thing he'll be in, [this Quentin Tarantino movie]. It's funny, I'm actually in it too. Because he wanted me, I did some extra work, he said, I want you to be in the same film or collection of footage that I'm in and he was really adament about it and I was like...I'll do it, it's cool.

What's next?

It's heart warming to hear that Jungle Boy got to work with his dad before his passing. It's unclear whether Jungle Boy will be part of AEW Double or Nothing. Will he be part of the 21-wrestler Casino Battle Royale? Only time will tell.
