#6 The Young Bucks

These two are the very image of independent wrestling outside of WWE.

The Young Bucks are widely considered to be the greatest tag team active today. While some fans and observers might not be fans of their ‘spotty’ wrestling style and tongue-in-cheek references about wrestling history, one cannot deny that they are beloved wrestlers that have a catalogue of excellent matches under their belts.

However, the Young Bucks aren’t likely to ever wrestle in WWE for a number of reasons. First, they’re very small; both in terms of height and weight. Even if they were to be signed, they’d probably be dwarfed by many of the smallest wrestlers in WWE already, including those in the Cruiserweight Division.

Second, their style doesn’t mesh well with the one that Vince McMahon and the company want their wrestlers to adopt. The Young Bucks are often labelled as ‘spot monkeys’ that excel in high-risk and dangerous moves.

There’s no way that Vince would allow such moves as the Meltzer Driver to be allowed in his company (not only because piledrivers are still banned in WWE, but also because Vince likes to pretend nothing exists outside of his company, including Meltzer and his Observer).

Thirdly, the Bucks’ recent video mocking the DX invasion of WCW from the 1990s was said to have angered him greatly. So greatly, in fact, that WWE issued a very real cease-and-desist order against the Bucks for their ‘Too Sweet’ gesture that has been a staple of their for years.

The fact that the Bucks are looking into going to court over this matter only further precludes them from ever entering a WWE ring, thus putting an end to many fans’ dreams of seeing the Young Bucks vs. the Revival in a dream tag match.
