The turn was met with a negative response from fans live and on social media. \u00a0Jackson noted the turn resonated on multiple levels, especially to those that have watched the Young Bucks YouTube show &#8220;Being the Elite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always want to be involved in weird, nuanced, multi-layered stories and maybe sometimes the subtleties that I like to have in my storylines won\u2019t translate with a pro wrestling audience,\u201d said Matt Jackson. \u201cPro wrestling audiences are so conditioned to [the idea] that it\u2019s good or it\u2019s bad. It\u2019s babyface or it\u2019s heel, and that\u2019s the way it\u2019s been historically forever and how dare you change that or try something differently because it\u2019s like you\u2019re breaking the laws of wrestling. It\u2019s one of those things where you have to try to find a balance, where you want to tell compelling stories, but at the same time, you don\u2019t want people to miss the things you\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson also addressed the &#8220;You sold out&#8221; chants from the crowd in Jacksonville after the angle took place.\u00a0\u201cMaybe this is a little bit of reality and maybe this is a little bit of character, but it\u2019s like when you\u2019re that unsigned band and you\u2019re working hard on the underground scene and you\u2019ve got this great cult following and then finally that band that everybody is rooting for, they get picked up and they sign to that major label,\u201d said Matt Jackson. \u201cWhile they\u2019re still putting out great music and probably selling more music than ever, I feel like sometimes those bands feel fraudulent and don\u2019t feel like their former selves. Maybe they\u2019ve lost that edge or maybe they\u2019ve lost that confidence \u2013 that feeling of people rooting for you because you\u2019re no longer the underdog.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspecially with us, because we\u2019re executives at this company \u2013 we\u2019re executive vice-presidents of AEW \u2013 and we told everybody that we helped put together the tag-team division, so it\u2019s really hard for people to look at us as those same punk-rock Young Bucks that we were years ago, the ones that spat in the face of tradition \u2013 the ones that broke all the rules. It\u2019s hard to break the rules when you\u2019re the ones making the rules now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3503411678\"><div id=\"pwtor-3145155248\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>In an interview with TSN.ca, the Young Bucks (Matt &amp; Nick Jackson) talked about their heel turn last week on Dynamite, which saw them turn on Jon Moxley in a six man tag match to <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/04\/14\/young-bucks-discuss-heel-turn-response-of-crowd-to-them-siding-with-omega-on-dynamite-last-week\/\" title=\"Young Bucks discuss heel turn, response of crowd to them siding with Omega on Dynamite last week\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":103045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6163,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/08\/AEWDailysPlace_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117159"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117162,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117159\/revisions\/117162"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
