The difference is Punk went back at them himself. Didn't go begging some lame fool podcaster to speak on his behalf. Punk at least has balls unlike these 2 clowns
It is really funny how Punk is being called a cancer every single time without react, but the Bucks had a meltdown right on the first bad comment about them.
Bro I can’t fucking stand Elite fans, they’re perhaps the most annoying and toxic fanbase in all of professional wrestling. They literally think the Elite can do none wrong and that anybody that crosses them is the problem 😂😂 Punk hasn’t even said a word since his departure, and I’m suppose to believe he’s a cancer and toxic when the YB’s are still taking childish jabs at him on BTE?
Punk re-signing with the WWE would be the final blow imo to AEW. The fact that these clowns have executive positions in the 2nd biggest promotion in America is an absolute joke. Imagine celebrating your power struggle victory in front of half empty arenas and shitty ratings every week, and thinking you're doing something special.
Edge aka Adam Copeland's AEW debut only drew 850k viewers compared to Punk's AEW debut that did 1.25 million. So that makes Punk a bigger draw than Edge.
@@TheMrAlgoh but what happened in the 'key demo'?... I will never NOT find it funny how they harp on about that, especially when Tony Khan tried to claim that AEW was more popular than Fox News (who at the time were getting 3m total viewers!) The really dumb thing about that is it ignores how many people were bought in to wrestling by older family members - the key demo may matter to advertisers (well, apart from ones like Domino's who don't want anything to do with AEW...), but the future of the industry needs an audience in the other segments
@@mrbelvedereshouldbeontvif you actually followed what happened they absolutely were though. Whether you support punk or not is irrelevant, the bucks Adam page and jungle boy instigated everything that happened. The difference is nobody cares about any of those guys lol
It's amazing that fans defend the Bucks against people like Punk...when the Bucks have had the reputation of not wanting to do business, complaining about veterans and not ever letting a perceived slight go. The only difference is Punk will argue and fight...whether or not he wins is a different story while The Bucks go to the "wrestling media" and have them tell everyone how great they are.
They are sad twinks that never got told no growing up. And now they think they’ve revolutionized the business, when in fact they fucking eviscerated it and make a complete mockery.
Man, I miss the early 2010s when The Young Bucks were nothing more than a jobber tag team on TNA, and even Brian Alvarez and Dave Meltzer found them bland. You didn't have to hear about them all the time back then.
Man I miss when I hadn’t heard him cornettes podcast. Because before that I didn’t even know beta and the cucks existed. I like Jim I like the podcast I hate knowing aew and beta and the cucks are even alive.
@@coryfusting9294 nothing has changed in 2023. There still shit. Only lucky Cody got this company started with Tony Khan but these crybabies want the credit lol.
I'm still amazed that it's Kenny Olivier that's now Corny's least hated member of the elite. He still hates him. But the vitriol for Hangma'am Page is worse and all of them pale in comparison to the Buckaroos.
but they had an exploding shoe theyre so cool have you ever played smackdown here comes the pain i like that they do the moves from it in the ring also their vlogs are really funny and they're incredible content creators
Corny said it rightly. You go to the circus and see the trapeze artist do a backflip to catch the helper and you immediately think "WOW! That's fantastic!", then he does a double backflip and you think "Okay, that's good...not as good as before!", then you go back again and he does a triple backflip and ends up messing it up, and you're sat there thinking "If only he hadn't tried to outdo himself again and again, he wouldn't have been in this situation!"
Remember when the executive vice presidents of AEW got in a fist fight with an employee twice their age? Any other job they'd be fired and millions would have been paid in lawsuits.
I remember them saying they went and just wanted to talk. But now when Punk tries to talk to them their lawyer sends a cease and desist order. You can't make this up.
The problem with the young bucks is that they are begging for credit. The elite are so convinced that they are the saviors of pro wrestling. It’s so annoying. Tony Kahn and his money is what launched AEW
I feel like even the longterm fans of AEW are sick of them at this point. The Elite need to go. They have had 4 years since AEW started and still proven they can't draw a dime
@darkstars-torpedoes-of-truth I fuckin hate the bucks but the Same aew fans that thanked them for this alternative now acts like they didn't. I would be salty to if they started giving credit to punk or edge when one was directly competing against them and one was on wwe backstage prior to signing lol
I never was a CM Punk fan, but only because i wasnt watching pr wrestling in his ROH and WWE days. Started watching Pro Wrestling again around 2017 and was excited to hear about AEW and how it was going to be sports based compared to the childish WWE i saw in 2017. Was so excited the first Dynamite bc it reminded me of Nitro look wise. Then i saw the corruption of what the Young Bucks, goofy slapstick, japanese obsessed, outlaw wrestling sunk into AEW and i was like WTF. There is some good stuff and talented wrestlers in AEW but its a dime a dozen and the Bucks influence is too striong. I became a CM Punk fan after that press scrum and will always side with him since that day on when it comes to his AEW tenure and the Bucks. The Bucks are just such smarmy, agitating, childish, passive aggressive little twats and they arent even good at hiding it.
Same. I just wasn’t watching when he was around. I didn’t get why he was a star, just looking at him. Once he came to AEW I got it, he so clearly had true star power. By comparison, I kept hearing how great the Bucks were and kept watching trying to get why, but never saw anything good.
@@namelessjedi2242 I've been thinking this, people constantly said the bucks are so great but as soon as i saw them i was like "whats so great about them". They are Shawn Michaels politic level backstage/Mock Macho Man/Over use & miss super kicks all the time. Oh & that fake tough guy crap matty does is so damn stupid.
This isn't my history following Punk, but as a huge Punk fan this is the best comment I've ever seen I will say my love for Punk was enhanced when he ran Collision. It demonstrated that he really did keep with him everything he learned from legends on how to run a wrestling program and what pro wrestling actually is
Even the hardcore AEW fans who literally defend the promotion for not stopping Moxley from getting 3 concussions in the same match don't defend the Bucks anymore. The Bucks are less defendable than repeated head injuries apparently.
Speaking of concussion, I love how Sammy got a concussion at WrestleDream, so what do they do this week... let's give Omega an unprotected chair shot to the head. I'm not an Omega fan but Jesus they guy also suffers from concussion, vertigo, and neck issues. Hell, I still feel Moxley shouldn't be in his "rematch" with Fenix next week.
@@matthewhostetter8974 Crazy, I hadn't even herd of sammy getting concussed. Welp that's getting added to the reasons they are shit right next to the Moxley incident. Concussion after concussion and these fans just say ' people get hurt other places too " as if they get hurt this frequently.
@@Maggot39967 Yeah it was reported last night, that was why Sammy wasn't at Dynamite and they replaced him with Kyle Fletcher. They had 3 injures at WrestleDream
@@Maggot39967trying to keep up with all of the head injuries in that company is like counting stars with the naked eye on a moonless night in rural Appalachia.
If they weren't involved, AEW would actually be in a BETTER situation then they currently are...We're talking actually making the WWE sweat again type better situation. If it wasn't for the Lolipop Shits and their toadies, the backstage would be a better environment, it would be an actual professional organization that actually draws money (not hype Woodstock events), and we'd have major hit after hit storyline wise (because they could keep talent, because these dipshits aren't around to connive them out the door), it would legit be like night and day.
@@kinginthenorth1437i feel like if Omega and bucks weren’t involved in AEW from the start that Cody and Jericho would’ve gave Tony great advice from their experience. The Elite were the ones that wanted all the bs indie gimmicks in AEW
The YB are the worst kind of snakes or politicians in wrestling. Smile to your face while holding the machete to cut you down. They are the living personification of that O’Jays song Backstabbers. No matter how much Dianabol Dave wants to prop them up, they will never be an all time great tag team. They never had the drawing power but they certainly have the apathy of even the AEW audience who pretty much don’t care about them.
This further backs up what the Undertaker has been saying. Buckaroos blocked me on Twitter years ago and I never tweeted them. Ultimate badge of honor.
Meltzer blocked me when I was on twitter years ago because I had the balls to say something about his beloved Young Bucks and Omega and how they were literally ruining AEW by throwing out what they said at the beginning - "We won't be going for any titles, we're the EVPs!"
Punk is too much of a diva to let shit slide. Edge won't have that problem because he knows they will NEVER be on his level so he won't ever take the bait. Unless they main event a WrestleMania L M F A O 😂
@@JohnnyFarang i think edge is gonna end up leaving just like cody, regal, cargil, etc. he even said in the media scrum he wants to "give the young guys advice" he is in for a very big surprise.
@@blaxen7 Because they are a draw for small promotions. Getting the Bucks every two months or so would be a guaranteed profit at the gate, not a coin toss.
I'd like for the Bucks to make a list of all the things they have done that changed the wrestling business. Not anything they did with Kenny, Cody or Tony Khan just things that they did on their own that made the wrestling business go through this drastic change that in their heads they have convinced themselves has happened.
They sucked in TNA, ripped off Shawn Michaels on the indies, and made friends with people like Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega. Only thing they really did of note is remain together as a tag team during a time when doing so is super rare. They get a hand for that.
I have to say I agree with the Bucks here. They truly have created "an alternative to wrestling". The problem for them is that a lot of us wrestling fans still like wrestling.
Also the irony is, is that Bullet Club wouldn't have been a thing had D-Generation X and nWo happened in the 1990s! You can say that factions built up now have all ripped off factions in the past - Bullet Club/Bullet Club Gold/"The OGs" - new World order & D-Generation X Evolution/Fourtune (TNA) - Four Horsemen
nah i'm sure theres a honeymoon phase because even with Punk I don't think the issues started right away...and I feel Edge is genuinely a great veteran to have in AEW because he has done it all and is not perceived as being super old and out of touch as some other veterans might be, but i doubt that is enough to go against the egos in AEW
Honestly? If I had the energy, I would have ripped into the bucks as fast as I'd get banned from instagram going on them about things like how they got away with firing CM Punk and not their butt buddy Jack Perry (although rumors are going around that he IS going to be fired soon), etc
James Cornette is so insecure about sharing his spouse, that he has to lie about people's political affiliation (as if views that differ from Dixiecrats are evil) because he knows his subscribers lack critical thinking skills and independence and will not do any research.
On the same note, it's crazy that Dave Meltzer has time to publish his newsletter considering he spends all day everyday arguing with people on Twitter.
Do the AEW fliptoids really think that Punk just had an issue with the "elite" and their buddies for no reason?? You can say that maybe he overreacted, but they had been instigating Punk and setting him up for failure as soon as they realized he didn't want to play wresting with them. The EVPs backstage politics and BS were way more unprofessional than Punks physical and verbal altercations.
Yes, they legit think that Punk was trying to drive the Elite out of the company or whatever and that they did absolutely nothing wrong at any point, despite how clear it should be to anyone who's unbiased that the Elite manufactured all of the drama using their stooges in the company and Meltzer/Alvarez. Obviously Punk getting physical was wrong, and I do think he lied about the Colt Cabana incident (and even with that in mind, the outrage over it was definitely exaggerated; Colt was barely being used before Punk came in, and nobody was begging for him to be used more until the story broke), but basically every individual issue was caused by something done by the Elite in the first place, and the fact that they were never able to actually resolve things is also the Elite's fault (it's outright been confirmed that Punk tried to bury the hatchet, but the Elite wouldn't even humor it).
Every AEW cultist repeats the same mantra; "CM Punk causes problems everywhere he goes so he must be the problem." This squawk absolves them of any critical thinking or objective appraisal of the behaviour of their beholden Buckaroos.
It’s funny that they post this and then immediately put themselves in two different title pictures. Seriously, they have to be the softest wrestlers in history. Even Michaels in the ‘90s didn’t care what fans thought of him as evidenced by his behavior at house shows.
You know what, fuck yeah, even Shawn Micheals the most legendarily bitchy wrestler to live is like 10x easier to stand and deal with because at least he had serious talent to back up his douchy attitude and actions. From a Shawn Micheals fanboy
@@tomvu1470 Michaels didn't draw. That's why they were in the spot that they were in. They needed Bret and Austin to draw. People conveniently forget that Michaels would disappear every time he didn't get his way.
Fucks sake, even Corny said it best - Michaels got hit with a water bottle and started having a bitch fit and told everyone that you've "blew the chance to see me wrestle!"
Grandpa Dave on twitter defending 800k viewers saying actually its more like 1.5 M lol calm down Dave, Tony is still gonna cut you a check. Idk whats more embarrassing being Dave's age and being a white knight for AEW or the Bucks constant need for validation.
Aew had a promising tag team division, then the Bucks killed it cuz no one can go over on them. They just lost to FTR and now they again are number 1 contenders
@@The_Gamer.139 Yes, but they did it in a way that did nothing for Private Party. It's not just about who wins and loses, it's about how strong you make someone look.
It’s always been like this. It’s just todays pro wrestlers have social media outlets. If the 60’s/70’s/80’s guys had the opportunity with social media’s influence like we do now back then? Oh man, It would be an interesting circus.
@@Coldstone47034 The truth is evident to anyone with eyes, and the rest will come out in a decade or so, after this company is long dead and buried, from all the shoot interviews. CM Punk's sitting pretty, whether he took a buyout or ends up in WWE at Survivor Series. Only the Bucks' die-hard sycophants (Dave) believe Punk's doing worse.
@@Coldstone47034 Indeed. Can't really call him a gossip either, though. He's said nothing, while the Bucks keep trying to spin themselves as being pure of heart while everything they've done continues to get exposed.
I genuinely want to know...what did they change about the "business"? Other than making it look like choreography and less realistic? If that is a positive for them then I guess they did change it for the worst.
They've changed nothing is what they've changed. WWE was the only game in town for wrestling on a national level, and four years later, that remains the case. Totally squandered opportunity.
They do get credit for being part of the reason why Tony Khan (a money mark) got involved in pro wrestling, so when they talk about giving 100s of people jobs technically they're right. They bamboozled a silly rich boy into sacrificing his inheritance to fund the delusions of The Buckaroos-- and on the side provide a WWE-alternative source of revenue for the Danielsons, Punks, and Copelands of the world who cooooould work for WWE but wouldn't be pushed as well as in AEW. Because Tony is a mark booker.
@@jesuszamora6949AEW is still wrestling on a national level. They're on TV 3 times a week. Performing in arenas with fans. Not acting like the product has been great lately but come on here you guys will stretch so far to shit on them
I remember when AEW started and before i saw the Bucks all i heard was guys like Meltzer rant and rave how great they were. Then i saw them wrestle and realized they really didn't live up to the hype
They never came close to living up to the hype. It's always been spot after pointless spot followed by 47 superkicks and the finish. That works fine on an indy show, where you aren't going to see them again for 4-6 months. But it doesn't work on a weekly show, and they're so far up their own asses that they never evolved.
yep same here saw them in a match with the Lucha Bros and just didn't get it. They are all hype and no actual substance. The ratings prove it too because whenever Bucks are on TV the ratings go down
Yes it was unironically. Look at wrestlers from 70-90s and looks at wrestlers today. It’s night and day. From Terry Gordy and Bill Irwin to Calvin Klein model looking play wrestlers. 98% of the aew locker room would be laughed out of the business 35 years ago
By far. I hate super kicks with a passion now because of them and their circus group of buddies. It's literally one move that they do to NO END every match
Well, Owen Hart dying in the ring and Droz getting paralyzed are two things I can think of off the top of my head that are worse, but I get what you're saying. The Bucks are an offense to pro wrestling.
Did they cancel the reconciliation meeting? That's really all I want to know in deciding if they are the Hogan / Nash of AEW. We decried WcW for it's unprofessional, childish nepotism until it went under, why would we view them any different?
Part of what make people great is they don’t constantly remind you that their great like Nick Nemeth quietly buying gear of Indy people to help them during Covid that no one knew about vs people like The Hardly Boys beating you over the head about how great and important they are
Undertaker was right when he said wrestling is soft today, and also CM Punk was right when he said “The wrestlers you like are the ones softer than you”.
they got a money mark to make an entire promotion revolved around sniffing their own farts and STILL cant handle that most people dont wanna see them. what more would you need?
the only tangible contribution the elite have made to aew was convincing the money mark to name his promotion after them. i catch a lot of grief from fans of "the elite" for pointing this out, but i will continue to do so..
@timmutohfan i stand with you. They are not great, their youtube show is the shits & their so called elite name in the company name was a stupid ass choice.
The Bucks helping make the original All In happen was a cool thing, and it made a statement about wrestling as an alternative to WWE. But doing a successful one off never qualified them to be EVPs or bookers for a national wrestling program.
The playing the victim is just sickening. If they actually made themselves dignifying after establishing AEW, the respect would have been there. But no, they had to engage in passive aggressive rumor mongering campaign against the top star, and running him off. So no, there's gonna be a dark cloud above them all the time
Bryan's and Jim's take on the Young Bucks hype being a product of it's time is so true that it's scary. A lot of people 5-6 years ago were convinced that Young Bucks were the best tag team in Pro wrestling. You can make an argument for The Revival during that time but there was less people saying The Revival were the best, especially during the times where they were not utilised well on RAW(either because of injuries or bad creative team). You mostly heard about how great Young Bucks and how they are the greatest tag team of this generation. That was even true for me when I couldn't watch their stuff on TV and had to watch highlight videos on UA-cam. Around that period, I loved their matches and was convinced they were the best or at least one of the best tag teams in the world. I was a teenager then and was fond of the indies simply because I was just kind of done with WWE. Fast forward to 2019, when I was an adult and mentally grew up a little, I remember being excited to see Young Bucks on national television. For a few weeks, I didn't feel the same way but still thought they were great. But the more matches that I saw of them, the more I felt I saw those matches before. Then the same match kept going on and on until I was convinced they can't wrestle any other style. I was starting to feel the same for Kenny Omega but at least I can remember like some of his recent matches. Young Bucks had terrible matches by almost every tag team not named FTR (Didn't like their match with Kenny and Hangman either. Sorry). It got to a point where I skipped their matches because I knew what will happen. And after a while, it wasn't just me. The crowd stopped reacting the same way for The Bucks. And ever since The Revival joined AEW and became FTR, especially during the times they became babyfaces, they got more over with the crowd than the Bucks ever did even during their absolute height in popularity. They slowly stopped being in the conversation for the best tag team in the world as more people became thoroughly convinced that the best team is FTR. Hell, they aren't even in top 5. The Usos and even Jay and Juice were considered better than the Bucks. People once they grow up or get more exposure to the Bucks don't feel the same way towards them. And the Bucks never really got better or evolved in any way. They are either the same or just worse now. It might a bit of a stretch, but Bucks can be compared to a viral video or a viral meme. They made a lot of noise when they first started but the more you see of them, the less funny it got. And it takes 2 months until people move on to something else. The Bucks are left behind and I think they will always be there
No truer words have been spoken... I was a fan for about 10 years and saw alot of their TNA, NJPW, & ROH matches and thought they were one of a kind & then got caught up with The Bullet Club thing as well but once they got to AEW, it all became stale and the bad politics they created became evident in the product... This whole thing leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth about AEW & I've never been too crazy about WWE either but I just try to watch & see if anything changesfor the better....
@@ezstreete It will be sheer idiocy to have the Bucks beat FTR even if they turn heels. You have to have a brain of Swiss cheese to let them become 3 time tag team champion. They aren't over whether they become heels or remain babyfaces. People don't want them to turn heels and bring more edge to their character. They just don't want to see Young Bucks. So having them go over the team that is actually over because they haven't beaten FTR in two straight matches is either foolishness or very clear that the Bucks are politicking. But I know Bucks are going over because they can't let FTR beat them thrice and/or Tony is so dumb, he will actually go along with it
The thing about the young bucks is many of their fans and even the bucks themselves forgot the status they were in that got them over. They weren't necessarily the main attraction in the bullet club, AJ Styles was which is when most western wrestling fans took notice of the bullet club and what was going on in NJPW. The bucks were just the side kicks within that group basically the same as Syxx in NWO and to a lesser degree when he was in DX but like x pac when he became the focus the fans got tired of his gimmick very quickly. Add to that this was the era that people got tired of WWE booking, the bullet club became a refreshing alternative which peaked when All In happened. Once AEW started most of the fans from the indies to ring of honor didnt return to watch AEW. Or the ratings they got would have been higher than a million. And who really benefitted from that era? At the time NXT did which was a good move by triple H to keep hardcore WWE fans within the company dissatisfied with the main WWE and influenced by the indie/NJPW scene , AJ benefitted and later on Cody did. And of course Balor. Omega and the bucks didnt technically because even though they get a say in a new promotion and well paid they haven't transcended in their career like some of their peers have. They still in the same spot they in years ago when they were hot commodities.
Getting gaslit by these guys that AEW wouldnt exist and people wouldn't have jobs if it wasnt for them, is the equivalent of WWE re-telling history by saying wrestling wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Vince. It insults my intelligence and I don't need to be reminded every fucking week that they're more holy than I am. It's selfish and weird.
As an agnostic who was raised Catholic, they aren't very Christian - Forgiveness? Turn the other cheek?... The Pope recently called out the US Catholic church for failing to follow Christ's teachings and the evangelicals are even more unhinged. They might be more pious, but they are almost certainly less holy than you!
What’s ultimately crazy about all of this….the Bucks (with the help of connected friends) will do their best to try to control the narrative to their design but as the years go on, the fans get smarter so now all of the Bucks’ shit is catching up to them because the fans remember.
I'm still trying to figure out who exactly was Tony Khan bidding against to re-sign these clowns. Was there some unknown wrestling organization out there that was seeking their services that forced Tony to make them the highest paid tag-team of all-time? Were they in such demand that Tony had no choice but to pay them as much as he did? Or, is he an over eager overgrown child with his daddy's overgrown checkbook?
He needs them in AEW to keep the positive coverage from Meltbrain coming. If you remember when the Elite were suspended after Brawlout Dave actually started to be critical of AEW and the suspension ended quickly thereafter.
@@MrRjh63 I would be far from shocked if people like Meltzer and Alvarez were feeding Khan rumours about WWE interest to help them bump up their negotiations
The Young Bucks inside their own headspace: "We revolutionized the industry, we provided the first true alternative to the WWE since the death of WCW, we can have five star matches with anyone in the world, we're worldwide international stars and most likely the greatest tag team in pro wrestling history." The Young Bucks in reality: "We're a flavor-of-the-month, flash-in-the-pan duo that got insanely lucky and attracted the attention of a billionaire's son that was a wrestling fan since childhood and spent most of that childhood playing with wrestling action figures and booking his own promotion in his head. This person was so starstruck that wrestlers, any wrestlers, the people that he practically worshiped, he was so happy that they thought that he was 'cool enough' to talk to and be friends with that he got Daddy to open up the piggy bank and fund his own personal wrestling fantasy promotion."
Both Punk and the Bucks are assholes. The bucks were smart by working all there fans and the world's biggest money mark, and Punk is a narcissistic prick. The wrestling business would be fine without the 3 of them

Yeah I love Edge, one of my favourites of the last two decades. Anyone who thought he would draw is smoking crack, Punk drew because he left wrestling in such spectacular style and then came back. Edge hasn't gone anywhere so how can anyone miss him? Also god I hope someone doesn't fuck Edge up for real because he seems like a great guy.
Nope. We’ve seen Edge again for the last three years. It was incredibly weird for AEW and their fanbase to try to pretend that him turning up was this INCREDIBLE RETURN. I saw one comment say he cried when he came out to save Sting, and it was worth $50.
The Bucks are the best ever...at keeping Tony Khan in a bubble where they get his Dad to pay for endless indie shows and all their friends. No wonder they're so afraid of Punk and bigger, better talent. They upset the apple cart and cause Tony to stop being a fanboy mark, and that puts all of the useless overpaid bullshit talent at risk. It's an extraordinary hustle, TBH

Its still hard to believe that TK chose these guys over his top draw. Hes really the king of the marks
I don’t think he even made the decision.
He just passed it over to someone else to decide because she’s such a bitch
He can’t seem to discern between good and bad wrestling, what works and what doesn’t, he just loves it all!

I said fudge jim
It's amazing that fans defend the Bucks against people like Punk...when the Bucks have had the reputation of not wanting to do business, complaining about veterans and not ever letting a perceived slight go.
The only difference is Punk will argue and fight...whether or not he wins is a different story while The Bucks go to the "wrestling media" and have them tell everyone how great they are.
I don't like punk or the Bucks
They did put over FTR tbf
@Nazhussain07 not when it actually mattered. It mattered when ftr held 3 tag team championships. Should have been 4.
They are sad twinks that never got told no growing up. And now they think they’ve revolutionized the business, when in fact they fucking eviscerated it and make a complete mockery.
@@Nazhussain07 yeah and there about to fight again so they can redeem ftr. Ftr didn't need the young nerds to get over they already was

Yup, they helped remove a zero from the wrestling audience...
Man, I miss the early 2010s when The Young Bucks were nothing more than a jobber tag team on TNA, and even Brian Alvarez and Dave Meltzer found them bland. You didn't have to hear about them all the time back then.

but they had an exploding shoe theyre so cool have you ever played smackdown here comes the pain i like that they do the moves from it in the ring also their vlogs are really funny and they're incredible content creators
“The only people softer than you are the wrestlers you like”.
That quote gets truer by the day.
Corny said it rightly. You go to the circus and see the trapeze artist do a backflip to catch the helper and you immediately think "WOW! That's fantastic!", then he does a double backflip and you think "Okay, that's good...not as good as before!", then you go back again and he does a triple backflip and ends up messing it up, and you're sat there thinking "If only he hadn't tried to outdo himself again and again, he wouldn't have been in this situation!"
You gotta give them credit though, the Young Bucks are one of the most entertaining things on the Official Jim Cornette UA-cam channel
The Young *ucks do like to feed the Corny.
As time goes on, I become more convinced Cody Rhodes was the true heart and soul of AEW. I felt it being at the show in September.
Cody Rhodes deserves more credit than he gets.
A lot more....
The irony of it is, is that it was because of The Elite that caused Cody to go back to WWE in the first place.
@@662chillin definitely. Looking how Cody presented himself in AEW shows he helped bringing aew into existence.
@@Coldstone47034 Right

Now that's not the whole truth! They lost a fight against an injured enployee twice their age when he was outnumbered.
I remember them saying they went and just wanted to talk. But now when Punk tries to talk to them their lawyer sends a cease and desist order. You can't make this up.
Although C M Punk is only about 5 years older than them!
Where was the “discipline committee” then? 🤔
The Bucks aren't young anymore
“Cry me a river” as one of their whiny best friends once said.
He was sure crying rivers when Punk choked him out haha
“An alternative to wrestling” is a typo so perfect you couldn’t make it up
The problem with the young bucks is that they are begging for credit. The elite are so convinced that they are the saviors of pro wrestling. It’s so annoying.
Tony Kahn and his money is what launched AEW
Bingo 💯
They haven't paid for anything in AEW but act like their the owners.
Cody was one of the reasons this happened
I feel like even the longterm fans of AEW are sick of them at this point. The Elite need to go. They have had 4 years since AEW started and still proven they can't draw a dime

I never was a CM Punk fan, but only because i wasnt watching pr wrestling in his ROH and WWE days. Started watching Pro Wrestling again around 2017 and was excited to hear about AEW and how it was going to be sports based compared to the childish WWE i saw in 2017.
Was so excited the first Dynamite bc it reminded me of Nitro look wise. Then i saw the corruption of what the Young Bucks, goofy slapstick, japanese obsessed, outlaw wrestling sunk into AEW and i was like WTF. There is some good stuff and talented wrestlers in AEW but its a dime a dozen and the Bucks influence is too striong.
I became a CM Punk fan after that press scrum and will always side with him since that day on when it comes to his AEW tenure and the Bucks. The Bucks are just such smarmy, agitating, childish, passive aggressive little twats and they arent even good at hiding it.
Also, i like what WWE has been doing lately lol. Time is a flat circle it seems lol
Same. I just wasn’t watching when he was around. I didn’t get why he was a star, just looking at him. Once he came to AEW I got it, he so clearly had true star power. By comparison, I kept hearing how great the Bucks were and kept watching trying to get why, but never saw anything good.
@@namelessjedi2242 I've been thinking this, people constantly said the bucks are so great but as soon as i saw them i was like "whats so great about them".

Just a FYI you used a dime a dozen wrong, the way you said it means there's so many talented people that they're selling a dozen for a dime,
This isn't my history following Punk, but as a huge Punk fan this is the best comment I've ever seen
I will say my love for Punk was enhanced when he ran Collision. It demonstrated that he really did keep with him everything he learned from legends on how to run a wrestling program and what pro wrestling actually is
Even the hardcore AEW fans who literally defend the promotion for not stopping Moxley from getting 3 concussions in the same match don't defend the Bucks anymore. The Bucks are less defendable than repeated head injuries apparently.
Speaking of concussion, I love how Sammy got a concussion at WrestleDream, so what do they do this week... let's give Omega an unprotected chair shot to the head. I'm not an Omega fan but Jesus they guy also suffers from concussion, vertigo, and neck issues. Hell, I still feel Moxley shouldn't be in his "rematch" with Fenix next week.

@@matthewhostetter8974 Crazy, I hadn't even herd of sammy getting concussed. Welp that's getting added to the reasons they are shit right next to the Moxley incident. Concussion after concussion and these fans just say ' people get hurt other places too " as if they get hurt this frequently.

The Young Bucks shouldn't ever complain about anything. They hit the mark lottery, and would otherwise be working a carnival somewhere.

Conveniently forgot that Cody was the catalyst for All In and had to convince them to go with it
If they weren't involved, AEW would actually be in a BETTER situation then they currently are...We're talking actually making the WWE sweat again type better situation.
If it wasn't for the Lolipop Shits and their toadies, the backstage would be a better environment, it would be an actual professional organization that actually draws money (not hype Woodstock events), and we'd have major hit after hit storyline wise (because they could keep talent, because these dipshits aren't around to connive them out the door), it would legit be like night and day.

I'd like for the Bucks to make a list of all the things they have done that changed the wrestling business. Not anything they did with Kenny, Cody or Tony Khan just things that they did on their own that made the wrestling business go through this drastic change that in their heads they have convinced themselves has happened.
They sucked in TNA, ripped off Shawn Michaels on the indies, and made friends with people like Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega. Only thing they really did of note is remain together as a tag team during a time when doing so is super rare. They get a hand for that.
They bamboozled a billionaire's son into giving clowns like Cutlet and Michael Nakazawa a job. That's gotta count for something.

nah i'm sure theres a honeymoon phase because even with Punk I don't think the issues started right away...and I feel Edge is genuinely a great veteran to have in AEW because he has done it all and is not perceived as being super old and out of touch as some other veterans might be, but i doubt that is enough to go against the egos in AEW
Apparently Dynamite ratings were down alot, Edge had the highest rated segment. So, it may start sooner than you think.
How insecure do you have to be to put random fans on blast to prove your worth? Let the work speak for itself
Honestly? If I had the energy, I would have ripped into the bucks as fast as I'd get banned from instagram going on them about things like how they got away with firing CM Punk and not their butt buddy Jack Perry (although rumors are going around that he IS going to be fired soon), etc

I'm surprised he has time to fight on Twitter, given how dedicated he is to sniffing the Buckaroos' jocks.
Do the AEW fliptoids really think that Punk just had an issue with the "elite" and their buddies for no reason?? You can say that maybe he overreacted, but they had been instigating Punk and setting him up for failure as soon as they realized he didn't want to play wresting with them. The EVPs backstage politics and BS were way more unprofessional than Punks physical and verbal altercations.
Yes, they legit think that Punk was trying to drive the Elite out of the company or whatever and that they did absolutely nothing wrong at any point, despite how clear it should be to anyone who's unbiased that the Elite manufactured all of the drama using their stooges in the company and Meltzer/Alvarez.
Obviously Punk getting physical was wrong, and I do think he lied about the Colt Cabana incident (and even with that in mind, the outrage over it was definitely exaggerated; Colt was barely being used before Punk came in, and nobody was begging for him to be used more until the story broke), but basically every individual issue was caused by something done by the Elite in the first place, and the fact that they were never able to actually resolve things is also the Elite's fault (it's outright been confirmed that Punk tried to bury the hatchet, but the Elite wouldn't even humor it).
Every AEW cultist repeats the same mantra; "CM Punk causes problems everywhere he goes so he must be the problem." This squawk absolves them of any critical thinking or objective appraisal of the behaviour of their beholden Buckaroos.
It’s funny that they post this and then immediately put themselves in two different title pictures.

They've changed nothing is what they've changed. WWE was the only game in town for wrestling on a national level, and four years later, that remains the case. Totally squandered opportunity.
They do get credit for being part of the reason why Tony Khan (a money mark) got involved in pro wrestling, so when they talk about giving 100s of people jobs technically they're right. They bamboozled a silly rich boy into sacrificing his inheritance to fund the delusions of The Buckaroos-- and on the side provide a WWE-alternative source of revenue for the Danielsons, Punks, and Copelands of the world who cooooould work for WWE but wouldn't be pushed as well as in AEW.

I remember when AEW started and before i saw the Bucks all i heard was guys like Meltzer rant and rave how great they were. Then i saw them wrestle and realized they really didn't live up to the hype
They never came close to living up to the hype. It's always been spot after pointless spot followed by 47 superkicks and the finish. That works fine on an indy show, where you aren't going to see them again for 4-6 months. But it doesn't work on a weekly show, and they're so far up their own asses that they never evolved.
That's a spot on, quality comment. Watching them do the same match week after week gets old fast.
yep same here saw them in a match with the Lucha Bros and just didn't get it. They are all hype and no actual substance. The ratings prove it too because whenever Bucks are on TV the ratings go down

It would have been better if Tony just bought NWA instead of creating AEW.
Atleast NWA has brand equity ,heritage and history.
The title of their book says it all - Killing the Business. Little did they know at the time it would be foreshadowing for the company they created.
Bucks have definitely gotten exposed through this whole thing
The Bucks helping make the original All In happen was a cool thing, and it made a statement about wrestling as an alternative to WWE. But doing a successful one off never qualified them to be EVPs or bookers for a national wrestling program.
The playing the victim is just sickening.
If they actually made themselves dignifying after establishing AEW, the respect would have been there. But no, they had to engage in passive aggressive rumor mongering campaign against the top star, and running him off. So no, there's gonna be a dark cloud above them all the time
Bryan's and Jim's take on the Young Bucks hype being a product of it's time is so true that it's scary.
A lot of people 5-6 years ago were convinced that Young Bucks were the best tag team in Pro wrestling. You can make an argument for The Revival during that time but there was less people saying The Revival were the best, especially during the times where they were not utilised well on RAW(either because of injuries or bad creative team).
You mostly heard about how great Young Bucks and how they are the greatest tag team of this generation. That was even true for me when I couldn't watch their stuff on TV and had to watch highlight videos on UA-cam. Around that period, I loved their matches and was convinced they were the best or at least one of the best tag teams in the world. I was a teenager then and was fond of the indies simply because I was just kind of done with WWE.
Fast forward to 2019, when I was an adult and mentally grew up a little, I remember being excited to see Young Bucks on national television. For a few weeks, I didn't feel the same way but still thought they were great. But the more matches that I saw of them, the more I felt I saw those matches before. Then the same match kept going on and on until I was convinced they can't wrestle any other style. I was starting to feel the same for Kenny Omega but at least I can remember like some of his recent matches. Young Bucks had terrible matches by almost every tag team not named FTR (Didn't like their match with Kenny and Hangman either. Sorry). It got to a point where I skipped their matches because I knew what will happen. And after a while, it wasn't just me. The crowd stopped reacting the same way for The Bucks. And ever since The Revival joined AEW and became FTR, especially during the times they became babyfaces, they got more over with the crowd than the Bucks ever did even during their absolute height in popularity. They slowly stopped being in the conversation for the best tag team in the world as more people became thoroughly convinced that the best team is FTR. Hell, they aren't even in top 5. The Usos and even Jay and Juice were considered better than the Bucks.
People once they grow up or get more exposure to the Bucks don't feel the same way towards them. And the Bucks never really got better or evolved in any way. They are either the same or just worse now. It might a bit of a stretch, but Bucks can be compared to a viral video or a viral meme. They made a lot of noise when they first started but the more you see of them, the less funny it got. And it takes 2 months until people move on to something else. The Bucks are left behind and I think they will always be there
No truer words have been spoken... I was a fan for about 10 years and saw alot of their TNA, NJPW, & ROH matches and thought they were one of a kind & then got caught up with The Bullet Club thing as well but once they got to AEW, it all became stale and the bad politics they created became evident in the product... This whole thing leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth about AEW & I've never been too crazy about WWE either but I just try to watch & see if anything changesfor the better....
@@ezstreete It will be sheer idiocy to have the Bucks beat FTR even if they turn heels. You have to have a brain of Swiss cheese to let them become 3 time tag team champion. They aren't over whether they become heels or remain babyfaces. People don't want them to turn heels and bring more edge to their character. They just don't want to see Young Bucks. So having them go over the team that is actually over because they haven't beaten FTR in two straight matches is either foolishness or very clear that the Bucks are politicking.
But I know Bucks are going over because they can't let FTR beat them thrice and/or Tony is so dumb, he will actually go along with it
bucks literally wrote a book called "killing the business!" I think that's their goal. The loss of CM punk sucks!
The thing about the young bucks is many of their fans and even the bucks themselves forgot the status they were in that got them over. They weren't necessarily the main attraction in the bullet club, AJ Styles was which is when most western wrestling fans took notice of the bullet club and what was going on in NJPW. The bucks were just the side kicks within that group basically the same as Syxx in NWO and to a lesser degree when he was in DX but like x pac when he became the focus the fans got tired of his gimmick very quickly. Add to that this was the era that people got tired of WWE booking, the bullet club became a refreshing alternative which peaked when All In happened. Once AEW started most of the fans from the indies to ring of honor didnt return to watch AEW. Or the ratings they got would have been higher than a million. And who really benefitted from that era? At the time NXT did which was a good move by triple H to keep hardcore WWE fans within the company dissatisfied with the main WWE and influenced by the indie/NJPW scene , AJ benefitted and later on Cody did. And of course Balor. Omega and the bucks didnt technically because even though they get a say in a new promotion and well paid they haven't transcended in their career like some of their peers have. They still in the same spot they in years ago when they were hot commodities.
Thanks for the material Buckaroos - Jim and Brian
I bet they miss having cm punk. They could have someone to blame for the negative reception.
😂😂😂😂
When they called themselves the "main characters" of the promotion it showed the level of delusion.
Getting gaslit by these guys that AEW wouldnt exist and people wouldn't have jobs if it wasnt for them, is the equivalent of WWE re-telling history by saying wrestling wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Vince. It insults my intelligence and I don't need to be reminded every fucking week that they're more holy than I am. It's selfish and weird.
Its sanctimonious, narcissistic and very very childish
As an agnostic who was raised Catholic, they aren't very Christian - Forgiveness? Turn the other cheek?... The Pope recently called out the US Catholic church for failing to follow Christ's teachings and the evangelicals are even more unhinged.
They might be more pious, but they are almost certainly less holy than you!
Right on both counts....
Can we appreciate that ad from Jim 😂😂
Only. Jim. Mute Brian's shitty attempts at being a straight man.
What’s ultimately crazy about all of this….the Bucks (with the help of connected friends) will do their best to try to control the narrative to their design but as the years go on, the fans get smarter so now all of the Bucks’ shit is catching up to them because the fans remember.
I'm still trying to figure out who exactly was Tony Khan bidding against to re-sign these clowns. Was there some unknown wrestling organization out there that was seeking their services that forced Tony to make them the highest paid tag-team of all-time? Were they in such demand that Tony had no choice but to pay them as much as he did? Or, is he an over eager overgrown child with his daddy's overgrown checkbook?
local gas station put in a bid for the Bucks
He's a trust fund beta who gets "scared for his life" whenever someone looks at him mean...I'd say #DaddysMoney !
He needs them in AEW to keep the positive coverage from Meltbrain coming. If you remember when the Elite were suspended after Brawlout Dave actually started to be critical of AEW and the suspension ended quickly thereafter.
Tony Khan is a nice guy, but a complete sucker.
@@MrRjh63 I would be far from shocked if people like Meltzer and Alvarez were feeding Khan rumours about WWE interest to help them bump up their negotiations
The Young Bucks inside their own headspace: "We revolutionized the industry, we provided the first true alternative to the WWE since the death of WCW, we can have five star matches with anyone in the world, we're worldwide international stars and most likely the greatest tag team in pro wrestling history."
The Young Bucks in reality: "We're a flavor-of-the-month, flash-in-the-pan duo that got insanely lucky and attracted the attention of a billionaire's son that was a wrestling fan since childhood and spent most of that childhood playing with wrestling action figures and booking his own promotion in his head. This person was so starstruck that wrestlers, any wrestlers, the people that he practically worshiped, he was so happy that they thought that he was 'cool enough' to talk to and be friends with that he got Daddy to open up the piggy bank and fund his own personal wrestling fantasy promotion."
Not a fan of bucks or punk. But i recognize punk was better for business
Both Punk and the Bucks are assholes. The bucks were smart by working all there fans and the world's biggest money mark, and Punk is a narcissistic prick. The wrestling business would be fine without the 3 of them
I like how they take credit for employing people when it's tony khan paying them
17:12 I love Jim's unspecified sabotaging of the ads. Always funny!
I'd pay a dollar to see Corny to trash an ad.
Let's be honest the elite rose and gained fans because WWE'S product was so boring and uninteresting that these idiots were seen as great
I'm sure they're already politicking to go over against Edge and Christian in a TLC match.
I love how they limit their comments on Instagram and delete all the negative ones. Such adults.
I just went to their Instagram and I swear to god they look 3 feet tall on there photos. It's ridiculous.
They’re 5’Anthill on Kevin Dunn’s shoe lifts, and 100 and sponge wearing weight belts and steel toed boots.
The only thing impressive about them is how perfectly round their heads are.
😂
The Young Bucks’ skin is so thin, it’s amazing that Moxley bleeds more than they do!
(impersonating Brian impersonating Moxley) "Drink your bones, eat your blood..."
In runs Hannibal
Thin Skin uuuuuhhhh!!! I’ll uuhh spike it!! Then they’ll uuhh know hooow to bleeeeeeed uuuuhh.
Pie Face tastes like Blood Pops uuuuuuuhhh, and Balding tastes like uuhh head cheeeeeese and uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh!!!
I’m just here for listening to Jim, and Brian promote Express VPN. This shit was hilarious!!!
"An alternative to wrestling."
Epic Freudian slip
There's a difference between the Hardly Boys and the pet rock, and the hula hoop is still thought of fondly, unlike those clowns
I can’t wait to see Jim reviewing dynamite only getting 800k viewers. Guess edge isn’t a draw like punk
Well, Adam Copeland has lost his Edge after all :D
Yeah I love Edge, one of my favourites of the last two decades. Anyone who thought he would draw is smoking crack, Punk drew because he left wrestling in such spectacular style and then came back. Edge hasn't gone anywhere so how can anyone miss him? Also god I hope someone doesn't fuck Edge up for real because he seems like a great guy.
Nope. We’ve seen Edge again for the last three years. It was incredibly weird for AEW and their fanbase to try to pretend that him turning up was this INCREDIBLE RETURN. I saw one comment say he cried when he came out to save Sting, and it was worth $50.
You really hate punk, eh? You’ve replied to any positive comment about him with negativity lol.
@@thelastmotelperfect 😅
They are the Kmart version of the new rockers
Oh man i love it when Corny has something to say abiut the Hardlies
The Bucks are the best ever...at keeping Tony Khan in a bubble where they get his Dad to pay for endless indie shows and all their friends.
No wonder they're so afraid of Punk and bigger, better talent. They upset the apple cart and cause Tony to stop being a fanboy mark, and that puts all of the useless overpaid bullshit talent at risk.
It's an extraordinary hustle, TBH
