The Young Bucks’ Matt Jackson recently spoke with Dan Gartland for Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, you can read a few highlights below:
Matt Jackson on the emotional moment of Kenny Omega’s win over Kazuchika Okada:
“It was a really emotional moment for me personally. I didn’t know he was going to do that. The biggest win of his career, yet he remembered me first. It kind of humbled me. Tears came immediately.”
Jackson says the last time they were split, but he’s picking Team Kenny this time around:
“Before, we were split and didn’t know who to root for. I think it’s clear this time around, we’re Team Kenny. I love Cody, but I’m not sure of his intentions, doing this again, putting us through this again.”
Matt comments on WWE covering The Elite’s Street Fighter battle with The New Day at E3:
“I think it was proof that people from competitive companies can work together and make entertainment magic harmony. We were very surprised to see how much WWE covered the event. We thought it was pretty cool they helped get the word out. We knew we’d win in the end, but figured it would be as competitive as it ended up being.”
Matt talks about the possibilities for the Bucks’ opponents at All In:
“There are a lot of options for us, especially since we’re helping book the show. Every time we wrestle Fenix and Pentagon, we produce lighting in a bottle. Or maybe we could have a Golden Elite showdown? Or, speaking of Kenny and Ibushi, they’ve still got a win on my brother and I, maybe we could wrestle again under different circumstances this time?
“Or maybe we surprise everyone and wrestle two guys that we don’t even announce? Or maybe Nick and I just wear headsets and work the Gorilla position? We could always just wrestle one-on-one against each other. It’s going to be an exciting night, and, as always, Nick and I are looking to steal the show.”
