The evolution of AEW World Tag Team Champions Matt and Nick Jackson continued last night on Dynamite, as the Young Bucks hit the ring for the opening contest sporting new mustaches. Fellow Elite member Kenny Omega also sported a new style of facial hair, but a friend of mine just shaved his beard down to a Lemmy like last week, so it felt less drastic.
Revealing either the last time he watched pornography or the kind of pornography he watches, Tony Schiavone said that the brothers Jackson “looked like a couple of porn stars.” With all due respect to Tony, I have to disagree—there is absolutely nothing sexual about the Young Bucks’ new mustaches. Like the sequins on their headbands and the Jordans on their feet, Matt and Nick shaved their beards and combed a generous amount of Just For Men gel through it in an effort to annoy. It’s like how their friends The Good Brothers wear dangly earrings, only the Young Bucks are the best tag team in the world. It’s possible to ask “why aren’t they taking this seriously,” but the answer, if you’d kindly take your eyes off of the hair adorning their lips, is the gold around their waist.
