The man who did not emote in TNA looked at once shook and defiant.

He wore a phenomenally effective facial expression that symbolised the awesome layers he applies to his matches. Beyond Kenny Omega, there are none better at using the actual medium of professional wrestling to tell professional wrestling stories. The Bucks don't splice acting in between their spots. The spots are the story.

It's a contentious title and claim with too many honourable mentions to work as a comparison piece. But measured against every criteria - consistency, match quality, drawing ability, longevity, influence - the Bucks have to be it.

The Young Bucks found money in a lost art, and drew so much of it that they transformed the business - all while working to an impossible standard.
