Nick Jackson: We Love To Make Fun Of Ourselves, If You Can’t Be The Butt Of A Joke, You Probably Picked A Bad Profession
The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) have fallen hard times since losing their EVP status with a loss to Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay at AEW All In.
They no longer have the limo, a locker room, theme music, entrance videos, or even an entrance.
“We love to make fun of ourselves,” said Nick in an interview with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed. “If you can’t be the butt of a joke in this business sometimes, you probably picked a bad profession. We also like to reinvent our character work and that’s exactly what this has given us. We’ve learned from guys like [Chris] Jericho who always changed with the times, and we take pride in it.”
Matt said, “My mother-in-law and kids specifically, when they tell me how embarrassed they are for me, I can’t help but laugh when I tell them that this was our idea. We’re born to play these types of roles. Many wrestlers in the business prefer not to take on these types of stories, which immediately makes us more interested in doing them. I think there’s a charm in being self-deprecating. There’s also a skill in being funny but still being able to go in the ring at the same time. Kurt Angle is a great example of that. I think it makes you more of an all-around entertaining wrestler.”
The Young Bucks are set to face Brody King & Bandido in an AEW Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament match.
