The Young Bucks engaged in the Blood & Guts match during Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite. Their reflections on the contest and their interaction with Mark Briscoe were shared in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
Below are some standout points from their conversation:
Nick Jackson discussed his experience wrestling against Briscoe in the match: “It was a nostalgic feeling wrestling Mark. I’m sure Jay was grinning seeing his brother land those Jay Drillers. Despite the pain, it made me smirk a little bit.”
Matt Jackson reminisced about wrestling with Briscoe: “It felt like a trip down memory lane wrestling with Mark. Our match rekindled many fond memories. We have a unique camaraderie and rivalry. And during the Blood & Guts match it showed our undeniable chemistry.”
Nick Jackson gave an insight into the intensity of the match: “Never-seen-before violent sides were unleashed especially in wrestlers like The Acclaimed who haven’t been in such a match before.”
Commenting on Darby Allin’s fearless move from the cage ceiling, Matt Jackson said “Darby is extremely courageous. His audacious move even scared us veterans.”
Matt Jackson acknowledged his teammates and discussed about planning the match: “Multitude of talented people participated and stood out. Coming up with innovative ways to inflict pain is something I enjoy now.”
Nick Jackson voiced his thoughts on choreographing the stunts for the match: “Generating ideas is more amusing than putting them into action. Darby is one unpredictable wrestler who isn’t scared of pain. His monkey bars sequence was mind-blowing.”
Nick Jackson also commented on Jack Perry’s chairshot to the head, reassuring that Jack is fine and was prepared for the risks.
The brothers expressed their admiration for Okada. Matt said “Okada’s performance in AEW has been astounding. He is adapting to new styles and thriving.” Nick agreed and praised Okada for adapting quickly to new matches.
