10 Wrestling Matches More Impressive When You Know The Truth
5. Nick Jackson Worked Through "A Terrible Flu" In Texas Street Fight - AEW Dynamite
We've all had those days when we feel as though we're well and truly at death's door, counting down the hours until we can leave work to cuddle up in bed and sleep away the chaos going on within. Yet, for most of us, those long days don't involve throwing our bodies through the air or being hit by steel trays.
Sadly, that wasn't the case for Nick Jackson as the Young Buck found himself having to go to war with Santana & Ortiz in a Texas Street Fight alongside his brother in December 2019 on Dynamite, all whilst trying to overcome a serious bout of the flu.
According to Matt Jackson's Twitter account, "Nick laid on the floor in our locker room all day, suffering a from terrible flu, Then popped up (and) put in that gutsy performance tonight."
Watching The Young Bucks throw caution to the wind is jaw-dropping at the best of times, but witnessing Nick crash through tables and execute the 450 necessary for a Meltzer Driver on some steel chairs, with the knowledge of the star being curled up in a ball for much of the day beforehand, is impressive even for him.
