– VICE Sports has published an excellent article looking at “How The Young Bucks Revolutionized Professional Wrestling.” The feature looks at The Young Bucks being wrestling fans since childhood, breaking into the business and what makes them so successful.
The act is designed to operate on multiple levels. If you want nostalgia—the crotch chops, the “suck it,” the gratuitous imitations of wrestlers living and dead—well, the Young Bucks can do that. Or you can watch them as a circus act: bright costumes, brilliant acrobatics, plenty of playing off the crowd. But the reason why the Young Bucks transfix the hardcore fans as much as the casual ones lies in stunts like the one with Meltzer [their “Meltzer Driver” move], and what they represent: bringing the wrestling nerd subculture into the mainstream.
We strongly recommend checking out the full article over at VICE Sports.
