10 Great Wrestling Matches (That Ruined Everything)
2. The Young Bucks Vs. Anybody After Their TNA Run
Along similar lines...
Pick a match.
Any match.
Doesn't matter.
Virtually every single match the Bucks worked after they walked out of TNA was at the very least very good, subjectively, and if there's a robust objective metric against which a subjective art form can be measured, it is crowd noise. With the single rule-proving exception that is the recent 10-man tag opposite the prelim Dynamite tag squad, the Young Bucks orchestrate and heighten a molten crowd reaction every single time. They make fans lose their sh*t with their incredible, textured approach to the high spot-heavy match. No other unit on the planet has done as much to convince a crowd that they are on the cusp of victory only to endure a nerve-shredding near-fall within seconds. No other unit on the planet has accomplished that acute level of drama with such cool moves.
But they're just spot monkeys whose matches don't look "real," aren't they.
Usos better.
Usos better even though they also throw countless superkicks over the course of one match and indeed flying nothing their way into moves, which, yes, is quite ill-advised in a "real" fight.
A tag team of all acts succeeded outside of the WWE umbrella, and this won't do; for years and years and years, fans have had to endure sh*t, sh*t takes because the Bucks proved that WWE is not necessarily the be-all and end-all.
When WWE is all some people have, this toxicity pollutes the environment of wrestling fandom.
