A Golden Lovers Timeline

PART 18: WHERE WAS HE

(years ago a nonie asked me about matt’s feelings during this time period and i made a post about it, and then when i was stuck in the boston airport for several hours I made a twitter thread of the post. And matt jackson retweeted it. so semi-wrestler-approved meta here we go)

time to talk about Matt Jackson’s feelings!!!

so when Kenny and Kota get back to their locker room after their Honor Rising match, the young bucks are there waiting for them, right?

[ID: bucks sitting on the counter in the locker room. Nick tells Matt: “You were so aggressive out there.” End ID]

the most important thing you need to understand about the young bucks in this story is that they love Kenny Omega. For a long time he was the only person outside of their family that they truly cared about

[ID: picture of Matt saying: “We’re talking about one of my best friends, my brother, someone I literally invite to my house. […] My son loves him. [My kids] call him “Uncle Kenny.”” End ID]

And the bucks are so loud with their love for Kenny. they’ve show it with their words and acts and touch. Seconding Kenny in matches whenever they could, caring for him after losses

[ID: gif of Kenny walking down a hallway after WK11, he says “Bucks you with me?” Nick answers “Yep.” Kenny says “Oh, thank God.” and Nick tells him “Always with you.” End ID]

betraying and murdering their closest friends when Kenny asked them to

[ID: picture of the bucks doing their cheek kisses to an unconscious adam cole whose head is being raised by an umbrella handle around his neck. it’s right after they betrayed him in ring of honor. End ID]

And how has Kenny shown his love and loyalty in return? Certainly not by performing the same acts for them.

[ID: Matt is speaking angrily to Kenny in the locker room, while Nick and Kota look between them, Kenny looks angry/confused/dismissive. Matt says: “"Let’s do what’s best for Kenny Omega!” Every big match, Kenny, we’ve been seconding you. How many big matches have you seconded for us? You’re upset? No no no. IM UPSET.” End ID]

But that hasn’t mattered till now (I mean it clearly has, it’s probably been eating at Matt for years), but it didn’t matter because Matt knew Kenny loved them. And he knew that Kenny saw their acts of love and appreciated them.

But that integral fact, that crucial piece that balances their relationship and makes it work, has been missing lately.
