The Young Bucks have just signed new contracts with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and according to their agent, they have secured the most guaranteed money ever for a tag team in pro wrestling history. In fact, their deal reportedly surpasses the contracts of legendary duo Kevin Nash and Scott Hall during their time in WCW.
This revelation comes from long-time wrestling agent Barry Bloom, who represents The Elite, Chris Jericho, Jim Ross, and others. Bloom reportedly told Matt and Nick Jackson, collectively known as The Young Bucks, that their new deal includes more guaranteed money than any tag team in pro wrestling history. He specifically mentioned that it surpasses the contracts of Nash and Hall during their time in WCW.
While some may dismiss this claim as agent hype, it’s worth noting that Bloom played a significant role in securing Nash and Hall’s groundbreaking deal with WCW in the 1990s. That deal not only featured rare guaranteed money but also clauses that ensured Nash and Hall would be among the highest-paid stars throughout the duration of their contracts.
It’s important to consider the context of inflation when comparing contracts from different eras. The Outsiders, as Nash and Hall were known in WCW, signed their deal over a quarter of a century ago. However, Bloom’s statement suggests that he is aware of the guarantees that tag teams have received in recent years, making his claim about The Young Bucks’ contract all the more significant.
With AEW’s continued success and their push to revolutionize the wrestling industry, it’s no surprise that The Young Bucks were able to secure such a lucrative deal. Their popularity and in-ring abilities have made them one of the most sought-after tag teams in the world, and AEW was undoubtedly keen to keep them on board.
It’s worth noting that The Young Bucks’ new contracts are part of a larger trend within AEW. Just recently, it was announced that fellow Elite member Kenny Omega and Hangman Page had also signed long-term deals with the company. The Elite’s commitment to AEW speaks volumes about their faith in the promotion and their desire to continue pushing the boundaries of professional wrestling.
For fans of The Young Bucks, this news is undoubtedly exciting. The team has consistently delivered high-quality matches and captivating storylines throughout their careers, and their presence in AEW ensures that fans will continue to see their innovative and high-flying style for years to come.
