Summary
"The Young Bucks are two guys who not only beat the odds to become one of the greatest, most popular tag teams ever, but also two industry changing visionaries. Matt and Nick are two of the smartest, hard-working, passionate individuals I’ve met during my 28 year career. With the creation of AEW, The Bucks will definitely leave the pro wrestling industry in a much better place then they discovered it in." (Matt Hardy, multiple-time world tag team champion)
The electric and daring independent wrestling tag team tells their inspiring story, revealing how two undersized, ambitious amateur athletes from Southern California became the idols of millions of popular sports fans and coveted among the ranks of AEW’s elite wrestling lineup.
Famous for their highflying moves, Superkicks and viral videos, Matt and Nick Jackson are two of the hottest and most talented competitors in professional wrestling today. Known as the Young Bucks, this pair of ambitious brothers are an inspiration to both fans and aspiring wrestlers worldwide due to their message of resilience and determination. That they are also faithful family men devoted to their loved ones gives them additional appeal.
A warm, heartfelt story of hope, perseverance, and undying ambition told with the brothers’ wit and charm, Young Bucks begins in Southern California, where two young boys grew up dreaming of success and fame. Matt and Nick look back on the sacrifices they made to achieve their ambitions, from taking odd jobs to pay for their own wrestling ring to hosting backyard events with friends. They share their joy at being recruited into the amateur California circuit and the work it took to finally make it professionally, and speak frankly about what it means to have the support of millions of fans cheering their talents in arenas nationwide. The Young Bucks talk endearingly about their sport, their faith, and their families, sharing personal reflections and behind-the-scenes anecdotes while paying tribute to the wrestling acts and inspirations that came before them. They also elaborate on this historical time in the evolution of wrestling, as the sport and its culture dramatically change day by day.
Alternating between each brother’s perspective from chapter to chapter, this entertaining memoir is a complete portrait of what it means to grow into - and give back to - wrestling, the sport and profession they embody and love.

great story
They really put themselves over well. I didn't particularly like them before the book. They seemed very arrogant even as faces but they come across as so much more humble and full of self doubt and concerns which makes them more endearing

Chasing The Dream & Living It
Followed these guys from the indies and early bullet club days all the way to AEW. Wrestling was resurrected by the Young Bucks and wrestling became something spectacular again. Beatiful story telling and a eye opener when it comes to never giving up. I learned a lot about how all the aew stars are actually connected by random friendships. Great book and a joy to read.

Pleasantly Surprised
I only discovered the Youngbucks, when I started watching AEW
I quickly became a fan and seen this book, I was pleasantly surprised how good the book actually is.
From the history of all the Indies, how Bulletclub was formed, how they met so many great wrestlers. just trust me, if you love wrestling and Youngbucks just read it

Great Book. Lazy Narration.
A great book but the narrator very clearly didn't care about what he was reading sounded like he just picked it up did his job and left it. Didnt bother to learn how to pronounce half the names some of which were laughably bad.
