History YMMV / TheYoungBucks

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Matt and Nick's dad, "Papa Buck" composes many of the songs used on BTE and naturally, they all count as this.

** The "Where's Hangman?" storyline on BTE which crosses over with AdultFear. [[spoiler: In September 2017, WWE sent a legitimate cease-and-desist order to The Bucks over the Bucks' use of the "Too Sweet" hand gesture. They spun the incident into segments where they would get bleeped trying to use WWE catchphrases or references. An unseen storyline "WWE stooge" would retaliate with aggressive letters, then escalated the taunts by kidnapping Hangman Page at the end of Episode 69. Episodes 70 and 71 saw the BTE crew worried sick over Hangman's whereabouts. In Episode 72, Page escaped the stooge's capture after the stooge taunted Kenny using a voice box.]]

-->'''Matt:''' ''<holding back tears>'' ...it's Monday. You know what that means. [[AuthorExistenceFailure This one's for you, Brodie. We love you, buddy.]]

* ShockingMoments: After years of trading barbs on social media, The Bucks and [[Wrestling/TheRevival FTR]] finally come face to face on the post- ''Double or Nothing 2020'' episode of Dynamite

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The Bucks, throughout their AEW run, have helped pull multiple wrestlers out of scrappy territory and into the good graces of fans.
** The Bucks helped create The Librarians, a gimmick designed to be bad as a parody of the gimmicks WWE typically gives its talent. However, people not in on the joke tended to give the characters XPacHeat so AEW began giving Avalon more of an opportunity to show what he could do in the ring against Matt and Nick which drastically improved their reception.
** Wrestling/AdamPage was initially seen in AEW as, while not necessarily bad, a bland, underwhelming choice to push for the World Championship compared to others in the tournament, especially since he made it to the finals against eventual winner Chris Jericho. Then came his team with Kenny Omega, his feud with the Bucks which included a fantastic match at Revolution, and retooling his character into a Functional Addict "anxious millenial cowboy", which turned him to one of the most loved faces in the company.

* HarsherInHindsight: Their web show ''WebVideo/BeingTheElite''[='=]s plotlines included a "WWE Stooge" who was responsible for kidnapping Hangman Page, preventing Cody from using his last name in the indies, "resurrecting" Adam Cole for NXT after the show "killed" him off, and their opening salvo - sending a Cease & Desist to the Bucks about the use of the "Too Sweet" gesture. After the Bucks staged a "invasion" of Raw, they did end up getting a real C&D on that very issue.

* {{Base Breaking Character}}s: Are the Bucks an enormously talented and creative tag team who are great at drawing heel heat, or are they a couple of useless spot-monkeys with no sense of ring psychology and poor selling ability?

** Super kick #2(counting the number thrown by either Buck or whoever else might be teaming with them)

** From the 2014 ''Invasion Attack'': "Prince Devitto, tope con hiro dasnuca. YAH, Young Bucksu? Go homu! Prease go homu, Young Bucksu!"

* EvilIsCool: This is why they get the leather pants. The Superkick Party gimmick, the association with Bullet Club (and now The Elite with Kenny Omega), and the presence they have on social media, all help make them appealing to a wide section of fans.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Among the biggest in wrestling, and even within Wrestling/BulletClub itself. Their characters are arrogant to the point of douchery, to the point that they even make their high flying wrestling look like part of their egomania. Despite this, however, they're cheered to the point of being booked as faces nearly nearly everywhere they go save for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling, and their merchandise sells like hotcakes especially with Wrestling/RingOfHonor crowds.
