Either you love them or, if you're Jim Cornette at least, you hate them, but you have to be impressed by the Young Bucks and their unprecedented success story.

Matt and Nick Jackson were perhaps always destined to change the wrestling industry. Their family put a wrestling ring in the backyard. Matt Jackson attended wrestling school, then came back and taught his sibling and their friends what he had learned.

They had their own wrestling promotion, High-Risk Wrestling, which actually operated with moderate success for over five years, and got the Bucks on the radar of promotions like the NWA.

The Bucks were signed by TNA and re-christened Generation Me by then creative director Eric Bischoff. Supposedly, the Bucks rubbed a lot of folks in the locker room the wrong way; since they had essentially brought themselves in the business, they never learned little subtle points of etiquette. One of their 'punishments' was to dance shirtless for Tara (WWE's Victoria) during her ring entrance. However, the Bucks actually respected Tara deeply and were big fans, so they went along eagerly with the 'punishment.'

Ad

The Bucks left TNA and rejoined the independent circuit, where they truly made themselves in the megastars they are today. They did so by taking control of their own brand and developing a unique fusion of Lucha Libre, Strong Style, and technical wrestling. Their patronage of the All In event just seals the fact that they are movers and shakers in the wrestling industry.

What they could bring to the table in WWE: The Young Bucks could revitalize the flagging WWE tag team division, and their creative and innovative skills would work well backstage as well.
