The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about their careers. The brothers also ranked the top ten tag teams of all-time. The Young Bucks are part of the Bullet Club stable. Matt explained that the real Bullet Club is not in WWE but in Japan. Matt noted that the current Bullet Club leader, Kenny Omega, just won the G1 Climax tournament and that he thinks the Bullet Club is the most successful stable in wrestling history.
“We’ve been the OG since five months in, and a lot of people don’t give us that credit,” said Nick.
“Some people think the real Bullet Club is in WWE, but it’s in Japan – that’s where it originated,” added Matt. “The WWE is the corporate version, even though we still support those guys because they are our buddies. The Bullet Club is everywhere. Kenny had success with the G1, AJ beat John Cena, Fergal won the title, and we’re all killing it here – Hangman [Page] just got the win of his life over Jay Briscoe, and it shows that the Bullet Club is this super stable. We’re the most successful stable in wrestling history. From day one, we knew we wanted to take over this industry. That hand signal? That’s Bullet Club’s now. People say, ‘That’s NWO,’ but sorry now it belongs to the Bullet Club.”
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were part of the Bullet Club before joining WWE. Nick thinks that Gallows and Anderson will be WWE Tag Team Champions soon.
“They’re going to be the tag champs, eventually, and it’s crazy that they’ll have had runs as tag champs in New Japan and WWE. Teams like The Revival, if they stay together, and American Alpha will be up there, too,” said Nick.
The Young Bucks believe that The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are the greatest tag team of all-time.
“How do you measure success?” asked Matt. “It’s by dollars earned, and the Hardys are number one, by far. “
Nick added, “When we’re with the Hardys, we see them get recognized literally everywhere.”
