25 Great Wrestlers That EVERYBODY Turned Against

18. The Young Bucks

Much of this article relies on anecdotal evidence and/or widely-accepted narratives about talents that have either been enormously popular, hugely hated or most likely a combination of the two.

Somewhat regrettably, WhatCulture.com itself has evidence of The Young Bucks' distinct lack of popularity, regardless of what they've contributed to the industry over the past two decades. Over 2024 & 2025, WhatCulture Wrestling has ran fan polls for best tag team of the year, and not only have Matt and Nick Jackson not won either - they've failed to even come close. 

Historically, The Bucks will offer at least one match a year that could make a case for being the match of the year, but through either a baked-in dislike of the pair, the never-ending tribal war between fans of WWE or AEW or possibly even the last dregs of a the CM Punk/Elite saga, there's something alienating about The Jacksons that exceptional action can't overcome.

This isn't the first time their quality has been so obviously overlooked or over-criticised. The pair named their book "Killing The Business" based on the preposterous accusation that was levied at them for daring to apply irony in their matches before it became commonplace, and have at very least leaned into the criticisms ever since.
