Ex-WWE Star Launches Strong Defence Of The Young Bucks
A former WWE wrestler doesn’t like it when people trash The Young Bucks duo of Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
The former WWE Tag Team Championship duo of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson teamed up with The Young Bucks at NJPW Resurgence earlier this month. Gallows and Anderson were released by WWE over three months earlier, and now they are free to work where they want.
There’s a long history between The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson) and Gallows & Anderson as former Bullet Club members. The team won an 8-man tag team match with Anderson getting the win.
During a recent episode of their Talk N Shop podcast, Gallows and Anderson blasted people who try to take shots at the Young Bucks.
Gallows: “This needs to be said because you read a lot of s**t out there. We talk to the Young Bucks every single day. If you have something bad to say about the Young Bucks, you don’t know them or you’re looking for clickbait. Those are two of the most genuine guys in the entire business. The level of success that they’ve had, to be as cool and genuine as they are.”
Anderson: “The Young Bucks wanted to team with us. They wanted to have a good time with us. They did that for us and we did that for them. We would do anything for them. Our phone is always on for those boys.”
