The Young Bucks are an American professional wrestling tag team, consisting of real life brothers Matthew and Nicholas Massie (also known by their ring names Matt and Nick Jackson) from Southern California. They are signed to both New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH), while also working for various American independent promotions, most notably Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). They are known for their excessive use of superkicks and high-flying moves as their offense.
They are currently in their fourth reign as the PWG World Tag Team Champions. They are also known for their time in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where they performed under the ring names Max and Jeremy Buck and the tag team name Generation Me (occasionally abbreviated to GenMe).
Previous accolades include reigns as Chikara Campeones de Parejas, Dragon Gate USA's Open the United Gate Champions, NJPW's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions and NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions and ROH World Tag Team Champions as well as being the only team to win PWG's annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament on three separate occasions (2009, 2011 and 2013). On two occasions, first in 2014 and again in 2016, they held the ROH World, PWG World, and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships simultaneously.
