The Young Bucks
The Young Bucks are an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of brothers Matthew Massie (born March 13, 1985) and Nicholas Massie (born July 28, 1989), who perform under the ring names Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson. As of January 2019[update], they are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where they are also executive vice presidents and co-founders of the company. In AEW, they are record three-time former AEW World Tag Team Champions. They also make appearances for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).
The Young Bucks are also known for their work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), where they became members of the NJPW faction Bullet Club; after a "civil war" in 2018, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Adam Page, Marty Scurll, and Cody Rhodes were kicked out of Bullet Club and went on to form The Elite. They have performed for various American independent promotions – most notably Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) – and had previously worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Generation Me under the names Max Buck and Jeremy Buck. On the independent circuit, they have won numerous titles as well, including four reigns as PWG World Tag Team Champions as well as being the only team to win PWG's annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament on three occasions (2009, 2011, and 2013).
They have held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship seven times, three reigns as ROH World Tag Team Champions, three reigns as NJPW's NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Omega and once with Scurll), three reigns as ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Page and once with Rhodes), and the IWGP Tag Team Championships twice, and the AAA World Tag Team Champions once. They were also the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions with Elite stablemate Omega. All totalled between AEW, ROH, NJPW, and AAA, they have held nine world tag team championships, seven junior heavyweight tag team championships, and eight six-man/trios championships (with various partners).
In 2001, the Massie family put a wrestling ring in their backyard, where brothers Matt, Nick and Malachi taught themselves how to wrestle by impersonating what they saw on television. At the age of 18 or 19, Matt began his professional wrestling training in La Mirada and City of Industry, California, at the Revolution Pro Wrestling School called Rudos Dojo, training primarily under Ron Rivera (The American Wild Child), Disco Machine, Scorpio Sky and Super Dragon, among others. Matt attended the school with his good friend Dustin Cutler, and the two taught what they learned to their friends back home. Eventually Nick joined his brother and attended a few sessions at the school. Matt, Nick and Dustin were involved in their first professional match at an Alternative Wrestling Show/C4/Revolution Pro joint event held on August 8, 2004. Matt worked as Fluffy the Dog, Dustin dressed as a hillbilly and Nick was a high flying referee wearing a Santo mask. Afterward, Matt and Nick wrestled various times for Revolution Pro and Revolution X in chicken costumes, under the team name "Los Gallineros".
In October 2004, with the help of his family, Matt opened up his own independent wrestling company called High Risk Wrestling (HRW). Matt was originally the head owner of HRW, but had help from Nick and Malachi, as well as good friend Dustin Cutler – these three eventually took over ownership years later. The company ran shows twice a month and helped Matt and Nick learn their craft. In the main event of HRW's "Highway 2 Hell" on August 4, 2007, Matt and Nick teamed up with Marty Jannetty ín a six-man tag, where they defeated Joey Ryan, Karl Anderson and Diablo.
On February 26, 2005, at a show for Full Contact Wrestling, Matt and Nick were called "The Young Bucks" for the first time. Originally, Matt was wrestling under the name "Mr. Instant Replay", while Nick was called "Slick Nick". That night The Young Bucks were defeated by the Kaos and Mongol, the Santino Brothers. Later on, another promoter decided that Matt and Nick needed a surname and came up with "Jackson", which the two have used ever since.
With the help of HRW, Matt and Nick eventually landed spots in several popular companies in Southern California. They also gained experience working in front of a camera doing television tapings for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) starting in 2006. The Young Bucks filmed their first matches for the NWA on Maverick Television on November 7, 2006, when they were defeated by Anderson and Ryan.
HRW closed in 2009.
