Don Callis Wants To Wear Nick Jackson’s Eye Like A Talisman On TV, Says The Young Bucks Are ‘Wood Ticks’ On The Industry

Don Callis wants to knock the Young Bucks down.

AEW Dynasty was originally set to feature a tag team contest between the Young Bucks and the duo of Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada. Due to Fletcher’s injury, that match will now feature Okada teaming with his rival, Konosuke Takeshita.

Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful for a new interview, Callis noted that the Bucks are “wood ticks” on the professional wrestling industry. Taking things even further, Callis admitted that he wants to take Nick Jackson’s eye as a souvenir.

“I would love to be sitting at commentary or even standing at the ring apron seeing those two little punks from Rancho Cucamonga — who have been wood ticks on the professional wrestling business for it seems like 10 or 15 years, sucking the life out of it and destroying everything that was great about it — I would love to see them get crushed firsthand by Okada and Takeshita. I think it’s going to happen if you look at it. The bucks are very good athletes, they’re great wrestlers, they’re a great team. But here’s the thing, you’re going up against a juggernaut. You’re going up against two of the best in-ring wrestlers of the last ten years. Takeshita and Okada are bigger, stronger, and faster and I hope that we don’t just beat them. I’d like a trophy. I tried to take Nick Jackson’s eye a little while ago on television and I didn’t get it. I wouldn’t mind having one of Nick’s eyes or something to hang around like a talisman I could wear on television. I know the fans are too, just not for the same reasons as me.”
