AEW All Access is set to debut tonight following AEW Dynamite, and Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks has revealed that he and his brother Nick kept certain things “off-limits” from the show.
Speaking to The Ringer, Jackson noted that AEW All Access “skirts around” the subject of the heated backstage altercation at All Out, and The Young Bucks can be seen addressing how “nervous” they were ahead of their return from their suspension instead of taking a pin to ballooning theories online they say aren’t necessarily true.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
Matt on the increasing amount of access fans want for backstage details: “In the beginning, it wasn’t like that. There still were hecklers and there still are people on wrestling forums, but all of a sudden now you can become famous overnight, and with that fame comes a lot of hate and criticism. … And that’s just the way the social media world works now, and that can be tough for a young kid. I really feel bad, and I sympathize, for those guys who don’t know what it’s like. … We’re going out there in our human bodies, and we have real human emotions and feelings. And when people say things about your real person, like, ‘Oh, I don’t like these guys as [executive vice presidents of AEW]’ or ‘I don’t like these guys in this certain way,’ and they don’t really know the full story, of course you’re a human being and it’s going to hurt your feelings.”
Matt on protecting their personal lives from public view: “That’s what sucks about wrestling now, there is very little mystique. All Access was revealing in a way where they wanted to come to our homes and do all this stuff. We had to tell them, ‘Hey, some stuff’s off-limits.’”
