The Young Bucks have definitely gone from undesirable to undeniable. They spoke to Petey Williams and Dennis Farrell on the Wrestling Perspective podcast. Below are some highlights:

The Young Bucks On Their IMPACT Run:

Nick: They split us up and we were singles acts there for about 2 months. Then, they put us back together and nothing was explained by it.

Matt: It was our first contract we had ever signed. It was a bad deal, and we just signed it blindly. We were getting paid per appearance and they would just decide to sit us at home for long periods of time, which meant we were literally making zero dollars some months.

The Young Bucks On Retirement & All Elite Wrestling:

Nick: We’re so deep that it would almost be impossible to escape it, I’m definitely going to be interested in some other job in wrestling. Traveling-wise, I only have 10 years in me left to do this full-time. I can definitely see myself doing something behind the scenes.

Matt: We’ve been doing this for 15 years now. At this rate, the pace we’ve been doing it, being on the road as much as we are and doing the matches that we’ve been doing for seven years. (Nick jumps in: probably 10 years) I don’t know how much longer I can do it this way. There will come a point where I’ll want a lighter schedule. I can see Nick and I being part of a creative team or helping direct or produce. I see us being involved, probably for the rest of our lives, in some capacity.

That night, [All In] we sat down as a group and we talked about doing another one. I think right then and there we knew that there would be another one.

So, basically, we’re in the situation now where we don’t exactly know what we’re going to do but we want to protect ourselves in case we decide to do something. We want to be proactive and we want to get ahead of this thing.

The Young Bucks also discussed being beacons of hope for the independent wrestling industry and for the fans who desire an alternative as well. To hear to the full podcast, click HERE.
