The Young Bucks might not have made it in WWE during the Attitude Era, if they were even signed in the first place.
That's the opinion of Matt Hardy, anyways.
The longtime pro wrestling star explained on his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, why he wouldn't have signed The Young Bucks to a deal in WWE during the Attitude Era, as well as how he isn't sure how they would have done had they found a way to get signed.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the episode where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On why The Young Bucks wouldn't have made it in WWE during the Attitude Era: “They probably wouldn’t have been signed just because of their size. It would’ve been very hard for them to get a gig then. I mean, it was hard for us, and we’re quite substantially bigger than The Bucks from height and size-wise, body frames, whatever, but we were on the very lower-end of ‘body sizes’ when we first got signed. I think for them, it would have been tough. Then on top of that, just the atmosphere that was in the locker room, it would have been hard for them to survive because it’s totally the opposite lifestyle.”
On not being sure how they would have fared during that era: “I don’t know how they would have done. I don’t know how they would have fared. It would have probably been a tough career choice for them at that time. It would be very hard for them. I feel like they became stars, and the locker rooms have changed enough that they fit in very well nowadays.’"
