Sportskeeda’s Pratyay Ghosh recently interviewed the top wrestling tag team The Young Bucks. They discussed their recent work with The Hardy Boyz and more. Below are some highlights of Matt and Nick Jackson discussing a variety of topics.

Matt on the difference between The Bullet Club and The Elite: “The Bullet Club is the largest, most successful faction in wrestling history which spans multiple companies in the world: NJPW, ROH, and even WWE. The Elite or as we’ve branded it, “theELITE” is a subgroup within the Bullet Club made up of only 3 members: Kenny Omega, and Matt and Nick Jackson. We are the elite wrestlers in the world who all have the same beliefs in what wrestling should be: a limitless place made of no rules or boundary. Fun, athletic, interactive storytelling.”

Nick’s thoughts on the subject: “There isn’t a huge difference because we are all cut from the same cloth. The only difference, in my opinion, would be that Matt, Kenny, and I have been best friends for a very long time and we wanna change the business in the same way.”

Matt on the most successful tag team they’ve ever faced: “It was so much fun wrestling Matt and Jeff. They’re my favorite wrestlers of all time, so getting to work a small program with them was a career highlight for me. We learned so much being in the ring with them. They’re the greatest Tag Team ever.”

Nick on it being an honor to wrestle The Hardys: “It was an honor to wrestle guys we both look up to. We learned a lot Wrestling them because they’re quite possibly the most successful and best Tag Team of all time! We’ve been very fortunate to learn from Tag teams like the Hardy’s, the Dudley Boys, Briscoe brothers, Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels, as well as the Motor City Machine Guns.”

Matt ont he differences between ROH and NJPW: “The styles between the two companies are very similar. I think the biggest difference is the age difference. ROH is much younger. Younger as in a younger group of guys, and younger as a company. New Japan has more traditions and sticks to its old style, where ROH seems to be taking newer approaches. I think a big reason for that is myself and Nick constantly pushing new ideas.”

Nick’s thoughts on the differences: “The biggest difference is that NJPW has been around a lot longer. Both companies focus on good old fashion pro wrestling and not a lot on the drama outside of the ring. The companies are a lot more similar than different so it’s a tough question to answer.”
