Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson have established themselves as one of the best tag teams in the history of professional wrestling. They have competed for almost every major promotion under the sun and have won titles everywhere they went. Now, The Young Bucks are at the tail end of their careers. Many of their peers are even hanging up their boots.

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Matt Jackson said that watching people like Christopher Daniels, Bryan Danielson, Sting, and now John Cena retire is a reminder that the Young Bucks are also near the end of their careers.

"It's weird, like, seeing our friend Christopher Daniels retire this year, actually was earlier this year," he said. "Sting and, Bryan Danielson. John Cena's ending his career soon. So it's it's very weird. It's like a whole generation is wrapping up, and we're not far behind it, which kind of scares me. I think it's a reminder of your own mortality, too, in a way where, you know, oh, we're at that chapter in our career," Matthew added. "So, yeah, it is, it is emotional." [H/T Sports Illustrated]
