Jungle Boy Reveals Which AEW Star Convinced Him To Use "Tarzan Boy" As His Entrance Music

At the post AEW Double or Nothing media scrum, Casino Battle Royal winner Jungle Boy talked about the importance of his theme music, "Tarzan Boy." The song, and the reaction it receives, helps him to get calm prior to his matches.

"This might be too much, but I feel very terrible before I wrestle," Jungle Boy said. "Every single time. Sometimes I'll be walking to the curtain and I'll pull up a trash can and throw up right in it, and then walk out. I get super, super nervous. And then now, the second that music comes on, I can hear the whole thing back, and immediately it goes away. I feel I'm ready to go, I'm ready to do it. It always went away to a certain point. But to hear that big of a reaction, so immediately, and to see those people having such a good time, it's great. I feel it's going to help me a lot."

Jungle Boy used "Tarzan Boy" while on the independent scene before joining AEW. It was suggested to him that he use the song by a fellow future AEW star.

"That was crazy to me," Jungle Boy said. "The song, originally, was Joey Janela's idea, and I had never heard of it. And he said 'you have to come out to this.' And I didn't know what it was, and I thought it was, like, a little bit goofy. But I saw immediately how much people enjoyed it, and that just made me fall in love with it.  And then, you know, I felt like my time with it had kind of come to an end when I came here.

"And it was actually something Tony had mentioned a long time ago, and he was really excited about it. He's like 'I'm going to get it for you. I'm going to get it.' I was like 'alright. If you do that's awesome, but I'm not expecting it.' And I'm not sure exactly how that all works, but he did it somehow. Right at the beginning of the new year. And I felt like that kind of just changed the game for me. Just shot it to a whole new level. He really is the best. He is, in so many ways, so generous and so passionate and so excited about so many things. So I really appreciate that he would do that for me."
