This should be one of the more interesting one of these we’ve done in a while.

For me, the Bucks check off most of what I look for in a team, which is matching looks (:yeshrug:) plenty of tandem tag moves, and chemistry. They’re consistent, relevant, and ultimately I think entertaining despite having some detractors who feel the opposite way. I get all of the opposition to their personalities and styles, I like them but I can see why others might not. One of the biggest teams of the modern era, and could go down among the greats in time. 8

4 due to looking like generic jobbers. But what really got them under 5 was the fact that dudes are wearing flare pants with tassels. That's some faggity shyt, with the exception of ultimate warrior and Kerry von erich.

You say they look generic but point out how they have unique ring gear that stands out. :jbhmm:

Gave them a 4, but the more I think about it they would be very good as a heel Honkytonk/Miz type tag team to beat bums and get squashed by top faces.

Charisma/star quality- 5. Tricky here, because a few thousand internet fans treat them like big stars and buy their sh1t, while they look like they shouldnt even be in the business. I still say they're not real stars just because maybe a hundred thousand or so smark CACs treat them like they are. Couldnt beat anyone if it was real, just like CM Punk.

Ring- 5. Again, tricky. No psychology, looks completely fake, but they have good flip matches.

Mic-7. Good at being annoying CAC heels.


In any good era their proper role could be a good heel jobber to the stars tag team. Their best attribute is coming off like annoying pussies. But because they're coming up in this weak era they're booked like stars. I faulted their booking by giving them a 4. A fair grade is a 6 or 7.

10 without question. Young Bucks easily are the best tag team of this generation. Innovative, excellent at marketing their brand, have a unique high paced wrestling style, charismatic, and entertaining. They've perfected how to get over in the social media era and have achieved notable mainstream appeal.

They get criticized for being lighthearted and comical but they can be ruthless when necessary. Admittedly their matches can be spotfests with little psychology but they still can incorporate psychology in matches when appropriate. I also enjoy their comedic spots because they have no problem with mocking themselves and easily get crowds invested in their antics.

Just like some people here, I started out disliking them but grew to appreciate their antics as well as their great matches. They managed to turn a Cease and Desist into shirts. :lolbron: That type of creativity and trolling is something anyone can enjoy.

They have done things in their industry that wrestlers will benefit from for years to come and they go to almost unparalleled lengths to entertain the crowd. That being said the try hard obnoxious comedy is lame and they look like they run a Christian Vape store. 7

Dope in the ring (when they aren't doing 6 person dropkicks) and they've been able to pave the way for people to succeed outside the WWE. 10 for their impact on the biz
