Generation ME Speak On TNA & RVD

After Wrestling Radio recently spoke with Generation Me a.k.a. The Young
Bucks. Here are some highlights:


Their debut in TNA and not even knowing what their in-ring names would be
"I remember the first time we found out we were gonna be called 'Max
& Jeremy' was when we watched out debut match with everybody else
and it was just so weird. Calling Nick 'Jeremy' was something we were
never really comfortable with. We had no idea what our names were going
to be in TNA. They told us to think of names because we were just going
to be portrayed as 'job-guys' who eventually got a '1-2-3 Kid type' [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and then we would get names."

Their thoughts on (Vince) Russo deciding that they should split up

Why Generation Me are no longer with TNA
"It just comes down to money. We had crumby [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
where you got paid-per-appearance. And we both had dreams to one day
sign with a big professional wrestling company and when we got a TNA
contract, I think we kinda jumped-the-gun. To tell you the truth, I
don't even think we looked at our contracts. At first, we were making
good money and thought it was pretty cool. But as time progressed, we
asked for help and asked for a guarantee and we never got that. We never
wanted to split-up. When they said we would be X-Division wrestlers, we
didn't want to be lost in the shuffle. And when the agents couldn't
even tell whether we were heel or face, that's when we decided it was
time to get out."

On the controversial comments made by RVD - directed towards The Young Bucks
"We knew he was talking about us. At first, we were like why? I didn't
feel like either of us had any issues with Rob. Rob always seemed like a
loner who just did his own thing. He's not exactly the kind of guy that
you would approach. Every day we saw him at TV, we both said 'hi' to
him. So he didn't have the right to make comments like that. Just
because we didn't go to Rob specifically, I hope he didn't take that
personally. If we needed any advise, we would go to veterans like Terry
Taylor, D-Lo Brown, Tommy Dreamer or Al Snow."
