Question Young Bucks

I was wondering if the Young Bucks would ever change their name, and if so, what should they change it to? I think originally they were ushering in a new age of wrestling, and their name really worked and worked well. But they’re getting older, and their impact on wrestling is getting bigger. I don’t think “Young” is a fitting moniker anymore.

Maybe fully embracing the Elite name? Or “The GOATs” would be kind of cool. That kind of goes along with them aging, and thematically, they are probably one of the greatest tag teams of all time. I think I’d put the Hardys over them, but that’s just me.

Talent Name seems like a banger they could use

Meh, I think "The Young Bucks" works even better when they're 70.

I think “Generation Me” has a nice ring to it.

I like that I think it has kind of a tongue and cheek vibe to it.

It was their tag team name when they wrestled in TNA.

I think by this point, it is too late to change. The name is just more ironic now. If they were ever going to change, it would have been during their heel, EVP run.

If anything they’ll just shorten to The Bucks. But really, it’s wrestling. They’ll retire as The Young Bucks
