The Young Bucks and the Road to AEW<\/h2>\n

The levels of excitement that have been generated in such a small amount of time is unheard of, especially when the promotion has yet to have its first official event. There are many individuals who deserve credit for making this once insane idea, that for the longest time seemed like a what-if scenario that we would never see, become a reality. But for AEW’s story to be told, we need to look back. Waayy back. To two wrestling siblings and some key moments that shaped the real-life brothers’ path, until they meet their future co-executive vice presidents. Where better to start than from the beginning.<\/p>\n

The Rancho Cucamonga, California natives started out in 2001 like many pro wrestlers, practicing in their backyard. They also had the luxury of a legitimate professional wrestling ring (not just a trampoline with ring ropes made out of whatever dad had laying around the yard like the rest of us). Eldest brother Matt Jackson<\/strong> deciding he wanted to give the pro wrestling business a real shot went and enrolled at the Revolution Pro Wrestling School\u00a0<\/strong>(also called Rudos Dojo<\/strong>). Younger brother Nick Jackson<\/strong> would soon join him and the brothers would start with gimmicks that thankfully did not stick; Matt competed as Fluffy the Dog<\/strong>, and Nick as a mask-wearing high flying referee.<\/p>\n

Showing the entrepreneurial instincts that have come to define the brothers, Matt decided that he wanted to dip his toes in running his own promotion. With brothers Nick and the lesser known Malachi Jackson<\/strong> by his side, he launched High Risk Wrestling<\/strong>. Aside from Matt & Nick, some other notable names to have a run in the promotion include Karl Anderson<\/strong>, fellow so-cal native Joey Ryan<\/strong><\/a>, and WWE Legend\u00a0Marty Jannetty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
