The Young Bucks recently sat down with Sports Illustrated to discuss their weekly YouTube show Being the Elite, and the role that its played in their career. During the discussion, the duo also discussed Chris Jericho, and his role in AEW’s success. Check out some of the highlights below:
On what Chris Jericho brings to AEW:
Nick Jackson: I always call him our Hulk Hogan, He’s done it all, and there is something about that. Even though he has been in the business for 30 years or so, he still wants to give back and get characters over. You never see that.
On Jerciho’s leadership in the company:
Matt Jackson: Most wrestlers want to be over, and they don’t care about anybody else, The prevailing attitude in this business is often, ‘I want you to do good, just not as good as me.’ Jericho wants everyone to be elevated. We made the right call. Look at how he made Darby Allin. Those matches with Jungle Boy and Scorpio Sky were really important, too. And Jericho watches all our matches, too. People don’t realize he’s the guy that pulls us aside and says, ‘This was great, but you could do this better.’ We don’t have enough of those guys in the business.
