The electric and daring independent wrestling tag team share their inspiring story of how two undersized, ambitious athletes from Southern California became the idols of millions of popular sports fans, coveted among the ranks of AEW's elite wrestling lineup.  Featuring over 60 photographs and alternating between each brother's perspective, 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. 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. 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 independent California wrestling 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. Told with the brothers' signature wit and charm, Young Bucks is warm, heartfelt story of hope, perseverance, and undying ambition.… (altro)

A wonderful wrestling book! Up there with the greats!

It even made me cry a few times with the Buck's rise to stardom and the introduction of AEW. I hope one day they write a new one that features their success at AEW as they are still making headlines today! ( )

2.5 really. It was an interesting read but pretty surface level. ( )

A tremendous read. This was a fast, entertaining and engaging book about the lives and careers of AEW performers The Young Bucks. ( )

As someone relatively new to wrestling and unaware of The Young Bucks I really enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the Jackson brothers and their persistent struggle and no-quit attitude towards turning their dreams into reality. The book is one big journey of how they started to wrestle in their backyard In Reseda to wrestling all over the world.

I never realized how hard wrestlers work. Sometimes basically wrecking their bodies night after night for little to no pay-off and promotion. Reading this makes you privy to some of the stuff that your average fan doesn’t know. It was also cool to learn wrestling terminology and just how AEW started. I mean what would've happened if Matt never returned Tony Khans call?

Reading about how they dedicated themselves to achieving their goals in life was fun and at times depressing. The chapters alternate between each brother so you can get a feel of their personalities. I also liked learning about the wrestlers they met in the circuit. Wrestlers we see on tv and who are actually very kind behind the scenes.

One thing I will say is there is a lot of hyperbole in this book and sometimes it can take away from their believability. I recommend reading a chapter at a time and not binging it, otherwise it can seem like excessive bragging in some chapters. It was fun though to read about a match and then look it up on YouTube to see if it really was as they described.

It’s impressive that they wrote this on their phones in between their busy schedules. The Young Bucks definitely have a lot of drive. Even for the people who can’t stand them you can’t deny how hard they have worked and practiced to get to where they are. If you are into wrestling and even if you are not, this is an entertaining read.

Special thanks to NetGalley and Dey Street Books for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for my honest review. ( )
