>>10638895Matt kicks out of shit that would've finished guys like 15-20ish years ago depending on the promotion or division so Cornette calls him that because road warriors wouldn't sell shit. He does that because the young bucks cut their teeth working indys and in mexico or dragon gate doing junior tags where the whole gimmick is "do a bunch of cool shit" so it is what it is. Nick is balding buck, he's a flippy shitter that's just gifted at it, can do it effortlessly normally with great timing, Matt gets all the heat because his thing is structuring matches and getting the hot tag.
Basically, they were called discount hardys forever because it's near the same dynamic as Matt and Jeff, except Nick isn't a drug addict and Matt buck isn't a cuck as far as we know.
