Matt Jackson: I Put AEW’s Current Roster Against Any Roster In Wrestling History

Matt Jackson thinks highly of AEW’s current roster and believes it is the home of where the best wrestle.

AEW often touts its in-ring performances as the best in wrestling, and talent like Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland believe you have to be elite to be in All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking to Renee Paquette on Close-Up, the Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) were asked about the state of the AEW roster.

“It’s crazy to think. The roster we have currently, now, I would put it against any roster in wrestling history. Talent-wise. In-ring performance-wise, I feel like we are number one. It’s hard to even get better than what we are now. The younger guys that are on the lower card, they can get up to that main event status working with the veterans we have. The OGs, you don’t have an AEW without a Chris Jericho, without a Jon Moxley. Those two were the biggest pivotal superstars that we had to try and grow this place and immediately feel like a major company. Those two don’t get enough credit for what they have done for this place,” said Matt Jackson.

Both members of the Bucks named Konosuke Takeshita as a talent to keep an eye as a young talent on the come up.

Elsewhere during the interview, the Bucks praised the Death Riders for carrying the company of the last year. You can find their full comments here.
