In a new Q&A with Sports Illustrated, the Young Bucks talk all things all over and even the possibility of them superkicking The Undertaker. Below are some highlights.
The Young Bucks on if The Undertaker being at Starrcast would’ve led to a Superkick Party:
Matt: “I’m not sure I could reach the Undertaker for a superkick.”
Nick: “I was actually very sad to see him taken off. Fans would’ve loved to meet him in Vegas.”
The Young Bucks on what match may steal the show at Double Or Nothing:
Matt: “If you asked me a couple of days ago, I would’ve said PAC vs. Hangman, but that match isn’t happening anymore. Cody vs. Dustin is going to be a rollercoaster ride of emotion, while Kenny vs. Jericho is going to be a brutal fight. I’m also really excited for SCU vs. OWE (Cima, T-Hawk, and El Lindaman). I think that can be a dark horse match of the night.”
Nick: “Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho is going to be phenomenal, of course, and a dark horse I think could be Best Friends vs. Angelico and Jack Evans.”
The Young Bucks talk about the magnitude of their own match at Double Or Nothing:
Matt: “Nick and I have been teaming for over 15 years, but we’ve been on the road consistently for over a decade. This was the longest break we’ve ever taken in our careers. It’s been nice to reconnect with our families and heal our bodies. We have upped our training significantly and I’m actually the lightest I’ve been since my TNA days. We plan to come back with fresh ideas, and maybe bring back some oldies. Perhaps we’ll even borrow some maneuvers from past adversaries.”
Nick: “We both haven’t had four months off from doing shows in 15 years so our bodies needed it. But what’s scary is not knowing how we will feel in the ring with all that rest—that’s what I’m most nervous about, not being able to catch my breath. We’ve been training in the ring trying to prepare.”
Matt and Nick Jackson clearly outline their goal for Double Or Nothing:
