Fantasy Warfare: 7 dream matches between past and current wrestlers?

#5 The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Young Bucks

The Rock n Roll Express

It's the Rancho Cucamonga native sons vs. the comeback kings in a battle of lighting fast tag teams.

The Rock and Roll Express: Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson made a career of beating the odds, often defeating teams that were much bigger and stronger with teamwork and heart.

Strengths: Quickness, technique, and the best tag team wrestling psychology on the planet.

Weaknesses: Never the strongest team, the Express eschewed working out in the gym in favour of getting by on natural ability alone.

The Young Bucks

The Young Bucks: The superkick-happy real-life brother tandem is one of the most successful tag teams wrestling today.

Strengths: Speed, aerial ability, technical wrestling, and of course, the superkick.

Weaknesses: None. There are no holes in their game, but they sometimes struggle against heavier teams.

Who would win: The Young Bucks

The action is so fast in this one you might miss it if you blink! Frequent tags, dropkicks, arm drags, and body splashes make up the early goings of the match. Eventually, Ricky Morton gets beat down by the bucks and spends a long time trying to make the tag.

When Robert Gibson finally gets back into the match, he unloads offence on the Bucks, taking them both on at the same time. After a few moments, Ricky recovers and the Express deliver their famous double dropkick to Matt Jackson. The Bucks are tougher than they seem, however, and Matt kicks out of the pin attempt.

The Bucks make good on their superkick party, devastating Gibson and Morton at the same time. They manage to isolate Morton from his partner and hit the Indytaker for the win.
