No. 4: The Young Bucks (ROH/NJPW)

Twitter handles: @MattJackson13, @NickJacksonYB

Matt and Nick Jackson are two of the biggest pro wrestling stars in the world today.

Here’s the crazy thing: these real-life brothers have never set foot in World Wrestling Entertainment. Yeah, I know, right?

The Bucks of Youth are not only two of the best wrestlers on the planet today for Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling, but they’re two amazing follows on Twitter.

I mean, Matt compared The Broken Hardys to tacos. Do I know why? No, not really. Do I care? Absolutely not, because they gave us this fantastic GIF.

But wait, it gets better.

This tweet is Nick’s pinned tweet on his profile and it might be a top-10 tweet in the history of pro wrestling and Twitter as a whole.

If you don’t know how the Bucks function, they kick guys’ heads off. A lot. Even kids as you saw. In Ring of Honor, there’s even a Superkick Counter for their matches.

They’ve wrestled just about anywhere you can think of and yes, that doesn’t include WWE. It’s not impossible to find success outside of WWE or without having gone there at all. It’s hard, but it’s not impossible. The Bucks of Youth are prime examples of this.

Could they end up there someday? Maybe. Maybe not.

Are they still going to use a move called the Meltzer Driver that makes me laugh as much as their tweets do? Oh, most definitely. It might be the best name for a move I’ve ever seen.
