Nick Jackson

[10.0] "Like I said with Matt Jackson, the Bucks are comfort food in the best way possible. You know what you're getting and they do it great every time. As someone that loves this style and was a hardcore PWG fan, I could watch YB matches all day."

[10.0] "One half of the greatest tag team of all time. And he will probably go down as the greatest singles wrestler that didn't have a singles career in mainstream wrestling (at least, as I'm writing this, on September 5th, 2025). When Nick Jackson has the opportunity to shine as a singles competitor, he always delivered. Some wrestlers are really, and I mean, REALLY, lucky, that Nick Jackson doesn't have an inflated ego that can push himself into a singles run, because he would've put a lot of wrestlers on the bench with how talented he is."

[10.0] "What I said about the Bucks as a tag team, I said on Matt's page. I believe them to be the GOATs. Nick is the higher flyer of the two and is a little bit weaker of a character actor. He has more of the memorable offensive spots while Matt usually takes some of the bigger bumps, I feel. They work together like PB&J and they both deserve a 9+ rating. People also heavily underrate their psychology and storytelling because all they see is cool spots."

[6.0] "Slightly superior to his brother, I've always wished Nick Jackson would have a singles run and stop imitating his brother's bad habits. Unfortunately, after seeing his last run as "Nicholas Jackson" I lost faith that this talented wrestler would ever take his job seriously and shine, especially at his age. All the potential to be a star in the junior division was lost... Nick could have been a "Best of the Super Juniors" winner but he settled for being the "Jannetty" of a dead tag team."

[4.0] "It might be controversial to say, but the Young Bucks feel extremely overrated. You might see one of their matches and think that they are gifted performers with lots of talent. And when looked under a certain light, they are. Your average wrestler surely wouldn't be able to pull several of their stunts like they do with ease. The catch is that they only know one match. The more you see them in action the more you'll see they play the same tune over, and over, and over again. And that's the extent of their in-ring talent. As for their character work and mic skills, both are terrible. They are pretty generic, and their talk only makes me roll my eyes, wishing the show moves on from them as soon as possible."

[5.0] "You either love the Young Bucks, or you hate them. Their matches always come across as feeling the same, so they can't do much to change a person's opinion of them. More importantly, neither Young Buck can cut a good promo, and their gimmicks have always been generic enough to the point of being boring. Their fans can be insufferable, especially if you don't like their style. Nonetheless, Nicholas Jackson is much like his brother in terms of being a modern wrestler where psychology isn't as important as spots, for better or for worse."

[10.0] "An incredible high flyer, has incredible comedic timing in promos, and has taken part in a number of fantastic matches. Tons of innovative offense, ability to wrestle in multiple styles, and one of the guys I've enjoyed watching more than anyone"

[8.0] "the better buck if you ask me, he's a better talker, better in ring, willing to work singles matches unlike matt, and more charismatic than his brother, but he's still a good hand in the ring, usually more of a high flying spot guy which works very well against other high flying spot guys (lucha bros, private party, addiction etc) he bumps really well against bigger guys who can just thow him around and he works really well as the smarmy heel, the underdog face, and now, with the corrupt evp gimmick he works really well, not the best wrestler out there but i do pay more attention when nick is in the tag match than matt"

[6.0] "Probably the better of the two Bucks, but as I stated in my review of his brother, just not my type of performer that I enjoy watching or find exciting. And the Meltzer Driver is the worst finishing move Ive ever seen as well. I do appreciate what theyve done in wrestling for helping AEW become a thing though."

[6.0] "Nick Jackson, much like his brother, is just the usual indieriffic wrestler with overly choreographed matches and lackluster psychology (although their occasional callbacks to previous matches is a nice touch), Being integral to the creation of AEW is a great thing for the business, but Matt and Nick Jackson are honestly just a competent tag team that isn't as entertaining as many of their vocal fans make them out to be."

[10.0] "Nick and his brother Matt are two of the most historically significant wrestlers in modern wrestling, popularizing so many elements of wrestling as it evolved in the 2010s and into the 2020s, and have an influence on nearly every promotion in the world."

[4.0] "I can take them in multi man tag matches as we see them less and they can have some exciting moments in their matches. However, they have 0 psychology, tend to rely on obviously planned and rehearsed spots and have never improved in their time in the ring. In 2023 I don't think they have meant less since they were in TNA."

[7.0] "Both young bucks are very similar. They have mastered the modern day indie style as a team. Alone they just do not move the needle in my opinion. They have great charisma and mic skills. They have issues with psychology and selling."

[5.0] "A little better than his brother in that he has a much flashier moveset but is worse on the mic. Same as his brother has none of the basics you'd expect from a wrestler like consistent selling, believability and psychology."

[7.0] ""These guys have to be a tag team because else they'd be jobber level. This guy and his brother irritate me with their ridiculous antics and pointless spot fests. There is no psychology.""

[5.0] "Same as Matt - definitely iconic part of iconic tag team, but his involvment in flip flappy no selling wrestling is something what works in opposite to what I really appreciate."

[6.0] "This guy is crazy-good at flipping around and stuff. He hasn't evolved much and puts on the same kind of match over and over like he is trying to generate as many 15 second highlight clips as possible. I think he would benefit from having a different tag partner who could provide more contrast to his style."

[9.0] "I am a fan of Jim Cornette but recognize I understand certain parts of wrestling better than him and I have my own experiences as a fan for 30 years of my 43 years. He hates Nick and Matt and that's fine. I think he's funny and great but the Bucks are also great. Great tag team. Skilled marketers. Draws. Thats what we are rating. Nick is practically the Ricky Morton some matches. He is awesome."

[3.0] "If he was a good wrestler, why would he and his brother need to come up with such convoluted spots to get over? He just comes off as the biggest try-hard wannabe. I have no idea why he's over or had any success."

[5.0] "Fun to watch in the ring. Insufferable douchebag out of it, relies heavily on being a dickwad to receive heel heat but just ends up recycling the same things repeatedly. Has considerably less charisma than his brother."

[9.0] "He's more athletic than Matt but not as expressive as a performer. It's not like he's a total charisma black hole or anything, but there's a reason that he's typically the hot tag instead of the one selling for long stretches of time."

[10.0] "Nick should be regarded as one of the greatest athletes in the history of wrestling for his continued greatness. He does high-flying in a crisp, safe style that looks effortless, even if it isn't. He is as fluent as water in some of his move combinations and it's an absolute joy to watch. As with Matt, Nick's career will be forever linked to the success of the Young Bucks, but in the few instances where Nick is working singles matches, he has shown that he can be just as brilliant, just as flashy and just as awesome to watch as in tag team matches."

[10.0] "He's the best Buck and for my money the best tag wrestler in the world. Every time he has a singles match, which isn't too often, he also always delivers. Incredible performer."

[3.0] "No psychology, no selling and Im not a fan of the Young Bucks style. Theyre better as faces than heels but that doesnt say much. As heels I just want to turn off the TV they dont do anything to get heat. Quite possibly the most overrated tag team ever."

[9.0] "favorite tag team but easily the lesser of the young bucks in my opinion. still fantastic in ring worker and solid on the mic, though a little worse than his brother. i think the biggest difference might be in their look and aesthetic"

[4.0] "Nick Jackson is, to me, the lesser of the Young Bucks and just not very good at wrestling. He knows flashy moves, doesn't know psychology or selling. He doesn't have any charisma and cannot promo. He's all moves, no substance."

[2.0] "Both Bucks are basically the same in terms of ring work, but Nick is inferior in terms of mic work and charisma, though Matt isn't much better in those regards either. Typical spot monkey no seller who hops around like a lunatic doing moves just to get a crowd reaction. With a bland and forgettable indie guy look, poor mic work and charisma, and his obnoxious ring work, I can't give him anything higher than a 2."

[8.0] "Better overall wrestler between him and Matt, but would fail completely as a singles performer due to zero charisma and poor mic skills, so better for him to stay a tag team wrestler since Matt has those skills. Nick is incredibly athletics and can do things in the ring that are absolutely insane, being one of the most consistently fantastic high-flyers in the world right now."

[9.0] "Nick Jackson's match against Rey Fenix on Dynamite proved he could have a great singles run in him. He may not be able to do promos like his brother but he does have the advantage on him in the ring."

[8.0] "Nick is fabulously athletic, and it's all the more shocking because he definitely doesn't look like he would be. Doesn't do a lot of singles work that I've seen, but his tag team work speaks for itself."

[10.0] "Strange that the Young Bucks are not rated higher as they obviously both perform amazing matches. They also have some great looks and act well as both faces and heels (even if they can be somewhat obnoxious). Neither of them are particularly good on mic from what I have ever heard, but they don't need it. No doubt, they will become (or are already) an important part of Pro-Wrestling history."

[3.0] "Hard to talk about as a solo, as pretty much everything he's done has been as a part of the Bucks. As a team, I can't stand 90% of their matches. Pinball video game matches. Doing their part to kill the superkick. Nothing matters except for high spots. Tag rules are thrown out the door in favor of non sensical double team maneuvers. If you've seen one Young Bucks match, you've seen them all. I see potential in them and I was hoping they might change things up with the launch of AEW, but thus far their matches with the Lucha Bros has just been more of the same."

[8.0] "As pretty much everyone else has said, Nick is definitely the more athletically gifted of the Young Bucks, while Matt is the better talker and general showman. Neither of them are amazing performers individually in my opinion, though. Doesn't help that they pretty much don't have singles matches."

[9.0] "The better wrestler of the bucks I feel, because he's a better high flyer, while Matt doesn't do it as often."

[7.0] "Between him and Matt, I prefer Matt but Nick is still an excellent worker. Nick is typically the high flyer of the two and although the bucks are know for crazy high flying antics, I find Matt as the better wrestler."

[9.0] "Great wrestler, huge charisma and a very impressive voice. Very young but actually the best tag team wrestler with Matt. His Meltzer driver remains the best tag team move for me !"

[5.0] "These guys have got to be a tag team because they would be jobber level otherwise. This guy and his brother infuriate me with there absurd antics and nonsensical spot fests. No psychology."

[10.0] "In an another world this man becomes Ric Flair of the modern pro wrestling world. He is gold on the mic and speaks in a tone only attainable by feral dogs."

[9.0] "As much fun as the Young Bucks are to watch, it's a bit hard to rank each of the brothers individually as they've had so few singles matches, and have expressed little interest in working any way other than as a team. But as a team, it's easy to see why they've become so popular. Spot wrestlers? Perhaps, but no one does that style better."

[10.0] "One half of the best tag team in the world. He and his brother put on incredible matches every time out."

[10.0] "Perfect wrestler, very charismatic, great high flyer, technical wrestler and a great guy in ladder matches / no DQ matches. One half of the best tag team of all times"
