Young Bucks speak on TNA/Hardyz, CAWdy on losing last name, Stone GOAT/WM, Nakamura, Baron Corbin

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Regarding the ladder match Nick and Matt Jackson had with Jeff and Matt Hardy at the ROH pay-per-view, The Young Bucks offered the following comments.

Nick Jackson: "We are better than any other team in the world. We are bigger than tag team wrestling. We are The Young Bucks. We're our own brand and our own genre. We've become larger than any active team, and we did it all on our own–without the help of a billion dollar wrestling company. No one is bigger or better than the machine, but we are definitely the best tag team of the last decade. I say that with confidence because our body of work does the talking. The four of us all climbed ladders and actually brainstormed ideas. We all kind of came up with it while standing 10 feet high."

Matt Jackson: "We climbed the ladders in an empty building and the idea sparked. We thought it was a perfect way to end the story."

As far as the legal battle between The Hardy Boyz and Impact Wrestling over the "BROKEN" characters, the decorated tag-team tandem offered the following take.

Nick Jackson: "I was very upset. This feud was supposed to go on until possibly June and they pretty much screwed up their whole deal with the Hardys, which is why we had to jump start the whole angle."

Matt Jackson: "We were definitely disappointed they tried to do that. We took it very personal because not only were they taking aim at our good friends, but it was also affecting our segments. It ended up being fine, because we worked around it, but it was definitely agitating."

Whether or not they have resolved the backstage fight with Ken Anderson a few months back

Nick Jackson: "It was just a bad night, we reached out but never heard anything back."

Damn that Hardyz feud shoulda still been going on

Former WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes recently spoke with the folks from the Sports Illustrated "Extra Mustard" blog about WWE owning the rights to the "Rhodes" last name.

The son of the legendary "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes explained to the SI.com outlet why he doesn't necessarily consider it a big deal that WWE is currently not allowing him to use the name.

"I'll tell you this, and I've not told anyone this, but I don't mind that WWE took away my last name," Cody Rhodes told the Sports Illustrated website. "Deep down, in my bones, I definitely want it back – and I have plans to get it back – but there is something to being Cody."

Rhodes would go on to elaborate, claiming that he is fine with the situation and pointed out that if he wasn't, it wouldn't be a difficult issue to resolve.

"The longer I don't have a last name, the more I'm OK with it," said Rhodes. "That's not to say WWE is holding it ransom. It's literally an intellectual property law that easily can be remedied, but there is something about being Cody that I don't mind. There is something to not always reminding people of a show they've already seen, but instead embracing the one right in front of him."

Rhodes concluded, "I am Cody, and I can promise you that the future is going to be even better than the past."

the E so petty

The reason Steve Austin was not at wrestleMania 33 was because he was in the process of selling his ranch in Tilden, TX. The 2,100-acre "Broken Skull Ranch" is now with another owner but Austin has retained rights to the name which means the new owners will be calling it something else. Austin also indicated that reports that he's at odds with WWE are completely false and his absence at WrestleMania were only due to scheduling issues with the ranch and his other commitments.

nice job meltzer, not what you said a couple months back

Shinsuke Nakamura has basically been taking the place of John Cena on Smackdown, wrestling dark matches after the live program ends. He has been one of the brand's key babyfaces and is expected to stay in that role moving forward. One of the main reasons WWE has him wrestling on dark matches is because the hope is that he is enough of a draw (like Cena) to keep the crowd from leaving before the 205 Live show begins.

can he replace Cena as the Face that Runs the Place?

As noted before, Baron Corbin is in line for a major push later this year. In fact, he is expected to be involved in a title program - likely with Randy Orton - for the latter half of 2017 when some of the bigger shows take place. There's also been discussion in changing him up, possibly with new music and the company is also evaluating other ways they can revamp him before his storyine with Orton.

WWE Bucks?? I like the confidence that the Bucks have in themselves, but they could talk their way into a serious spot with the E. All up to them.

Also, I'm excited about my boy Nak. It's a tall order to get over in the same vein as Cena, but this does seem like the machine is behind him.

Booker T on Finn Balor being "Injury Prone"


During a recent episode of his "Heated Conversations" podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T spoke about Finn Balor's recent concussion injury scare on WWE RAW so soon after his comeback from a lengthy injury hiatus after becoming the first-ever WWE Universal Champion back in August of 2016.

"You don't want to get labeled in this business as being injury prone," said Booker when addressing the topic in general. "Do you know what I mean? 'This guy, he's soft!' Do you know what I mean? You don't want to get that label."

Booker T continued, clarifying the fact that he wasn't labeling Balor specifically as someone who would fit that description.

"I wasn't saying [Bálor] specifically," said Booker. "I'm just saying you don't want that label in this business as far as being soft, a guy that can't carry the load, a guy that's not going to be in for the long haul."

"That's what this business is about," said the current part-time RAW announcer. "And it's about going out there and being able to weather the storm."

Why doesn't he just go by Cody Runnels.. it's close enough and everyone knows it as his last name anyway. "Cody" sounds as corny as he looks

Aj is the goat but hes is so misused on smackdown since mania.

Why is orton the champ?

Why is baron corbin fueding for the belt later on?

If AJ isnt going to be fueding for the title either way i would of kept him off tv instead, save him as a draw for the dark matches.

Also, that interview is really a perfect example of why i dont care for the young bucks.

 

[Breh Obama]

Young Bucks are so damn overrated

These nikkas have the nerve to claim they are the biggest tag team in the world as if they have been blindly biased the past 2 years

What billion dollar company did the Hardyz need?

Last time I checked TNA had no money


The Young Bucks wouldnt even have the tag team titles if the Hardyz chose to remain in the indys

Sit down. Be humble.

That one chick who said the N-word on Twitter a few years ago. She's in NXT now I forgot who it was

For some reason, that tweet is making its rounds again. Now I'm not opposed to keeping our collective foot on her neck, but what prompted this?
