Taz humming Jungle Boy's theme song deserves to be clipped for millions of YouTube views. It's pure comedy gold!
Serpentico and Jungle Boy kicked off the main event of the latest AEW Dark episode with a collar and elbow tie-up. Serpentico celebrated an arm drag but got a jumpscare when he turned around to find Luchasaurus.
Jungle Boy dropped his masked opponent with an elbow strike followed by a show of strength with a military press slam. Luther got the tag, and he ate a few chops and kicks before going down with a dropkick.
Serpentico caused a distraction and tripped Jungle Boy from the apron as Luther landed a pump kick and took control of the match. Jungle Boy almost landed on his head in a snap suplex.
Serpentico came in and was flung towards Jungle Boy thrice by an unforgiving Luther.
The Original Death Dealer got the tag again and continued to destroy Jungle Boy. The Jurassic Express member finally created some diversion and quickly tagged Luchasaurus into the match.
The big man/dinosaur cleared the house with a plethora of high-impact strikes. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy then sent Luther out of the ring and isolated Serpentico. The Jurassic Express botched their finisher as Serpentico landed hard on his head, but it got them a three-count nonetheless.
