The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) have many trademark moves in their arsenal, but the superkick has always elicited a crowd reaction.
When the Bucks leaned into their EVP characters, Matthew wanted to take away the superkick.
"There is something about just stripping away – taking away absolutely everything that people have known about us – that I love. I even wanted to lean more in on the EVP stuff. I told Nick: ‘I don’t want to do a superkick ever again.’ He fought me on that and he won the fight. I was like, ‘when we come back, I never want to do one ever again’ and he’s like, ‘that’s our thing, why would we ever stop doing our thing?’" Matt told Tunnel Talk on Social Suplex.
Nick explained why that wouldn't work.
"I was like: ‘Here is the problem with that Matt, you idiot. We have a shoe that is called ‘The Superkick’ coming out that we have to sell and Reebok will be super angry,'" he said.
Matt concluded with, "I am just an extremist, though. I either want to go one way or the other completely. Like: ‘Now we are never Matt and Nick again, we are Matthew and Nicholas, we are never doing superkicks, we are shaving our heads’ and he is just like: ‘Shut up!’"
The superkicks would remain part of the Bucks's repertoire.
Elsewhere during the interview, The Bucks commented about wrestling a more boring style as EVPs. You can find their full comments by clicking here.
