10 Most Humiliating Wrestling Moves
8. Matt Jackson's Impression Of The Hot Tag
The Young Bucks are one of a handful of acts who, across the 21st century, have drawn actual, earnest, effective heat.
The sheer obnoxious quality of their act was unreal. After a bland hand-slapping start to life in PWG, they realised that the wrestling industry, despite being the most toxic landfill imaginable of a value system, is held aloft as some sacred ideal that those inside of it treat with ridiculous, disproportionate reverence - and they buried it by refusing to take any of its fake honour seriously. Many wrestling fans also have a strange attachment to it.
Just enjoy wrestling!
They sacrifice their bodies for our entertainment!
They don't make men like my omni-flawed childhood heroes anymore!
They nailed this humourless, childlike mentality - you gotta respect the business! - in all sorts of ways, but Matt Jackson's piss-take of the face-in-peril spot was particularly magic. He wasn't just humiliating the pain felt by his opponents, but mocking the crucial, sacred idea that the support of the fans could have any effect on their ability to persevere.
As with everything the Bucks do, it was actually far more traditional and effective than shallow critics could ever see: this transgressive meta spot actually gets the crowd behind the hot tag, and Jackson actually does business by showing ass and taking demented bumps when the babyface unloads.
