Summary

The Young Bucks were asked which wrestling era they would most like to work in if they had the chance, and Matt and Nick Jackson gave two slightly different answers.

During a mailbag segment on a recent episode of Being The Elite, Nick said he would place the team in the period before the Attitude Era, framing it as a tongue-in-cheek answer tied to the criticism the Bucks have heard for years. Matt, meanwhile, said he would choose the 1980s because it would have given them a chance to share the ring with The Rockers.

The same episode also included comments from the brothers about how physically worn down they have been during their recent stretch, a topic Matt expanded on in a separate update about how sore both Bucks have been lately.

Quotes

Quote from Nick Jackson

"I will answer that a little bit different. I would put us in the before the Attitude Era when wrestling was at its lowest. That way we could see if the Young Bucks could kill the business there too."

Quote from Matt Jackson

"I would say in the 80s so we could work with the Rockers."

What Matt and Nick Jackson's answers say about The Young Bucks

Matt Jackson naming The Rockers gives his answer a clear tag team lens, because he pointed directly to one of the most influential duos of that era rather than to a specific promotion or event. Nick Jackson's answer, on the other hand, leaned into the long-running criticism around The Young Bucks and turned it into a joke, which keeps the story centered on the reputation they have carried through their run as one of the era's most debated teams.

Taken together, the answers fit how The Young Bucks usually present themselves. One answer points back to a classic tag team benchmark, and the other plays with the backlash that has followed them for years.
