It’s interesting looking at the career of the Young Bucks
They did nothing for a while, got super hot around 2018 and are now universally despised
What went wrong?

Unironically the success of Cornette and the narrative his platform can push has hurt them.

They are irl annoying pricks.
These types of guys fanbases tend to diminish over time as their fans grow up and tire of their antics. Funny when you're 17, cringe when you're 27.
Happens a lot to radio hosts and podcasters.

They always sucked. The quintessential coattail riders who were dragged kicking and screaming to the top by better talents like Omega and Cody and Styles and Devitt and Okada

Can anyone who was actually around in 2018 attest that The Bucks were hot during this time? I feel like getting white hot means something different nowadays than it used to.

The rise of Cornette, AEW destroying the indie scene, Brawl In and Brawl Out, and the revitivization of WWE all killed the bucks reputation

As a culture, we are moving beyond "ironic and self-referential entertainment" and embracing things that are more earnest and sincere in their presentation (also see the decline of the MCU). The Young Bucks whole act is about being ironic.

Meta irony did the one thing it shouldn't do and attempted to be the entire story instead of an element of the story. Deadpool was fine on his own, but trying to make everything Deadpool was a mistake.

I'd even argue that the Bucks new "evil EVP" gimmick could work, but they instantly came back dressed as Vince with "evil moustaches" and then explained their new gimmick was "anti wrestling veterans" and then went out of their way to say that didn't include Sting, the guy they are feuding with. They just cannot help themselves because they always want their small audience to be in on the joke

They are utterly afraid of sincerity and failure, so they hide behind irony (also see Kenny's AEW title reign)

They've never done anything. A few hundred obese smarks in PWG buying your merch doesn't make you over. Getting a New Japan contract because Finn Balor and AJ Styles carried you doesn't make you super over.

They were and continue to be dimeless dogshit.

They were never hot in Japan. They were the jr. Heavyweight tag champs that mean fuck all and they were just following Omega who became a legit star in Japan.

I think Brawl Out and the 7 trios matches against the Dark Triangle was the turning point
That was so obnoxious, predictable, and just a complete waste of time when people really wanted to see Kenny in singles competition

The match you have on the indies and on the preshow of a 6 hour Japanese ppv can’t be the same match you have every week on television.
It works spread out 3 times a year. Not 20 times or however many matches they have a year.
