WWE legend Kevin Nash has defended The Young Bucks from criticism fired at the pair from former WCW peer Buff Bagwell.

Bagwell posted on Twitter to say, "I don't get The Young Bucks". Nash promptly responded to say that Buff would understand their skills if he ever had the chance to work with them in-ring; 'Big Sexy' wrestled Matt and Nick Jackson on three consecutive TNA house shows in 2010 (he was teaming with Eric Young).

Replying, Bagwell then revealed that he'd been sent some matches after posting the original tweet: "I can see it". He was either just going along with Nash's comments, or had actually sat down to check out some Bucks bouts in AEW.

Either way, 'Buff Daddy' is now a Bucks' fan thanks to Kev.

Nash had called The Jacksons "super talented" and said they "can make everyone look good". It's worth pointing out that Kevin is going on matches that happened 12 years ago - The Bucks are way more experienced now, and probably much better workers than they were when doing the Generation Me gimmick in TNA.

What a cool exchange about modern wrestling from two old pros.
