The Bucks mention that they use to tour for weeks at a time in Japan, travelling up and down the roads in busses and that’s how Being the Elite started. They admit that it almost felt like a WWE raid when they signed Anderson, Gallows and Styles a couple of years ago, and it was very hard to see those guys leave because they were best friends.

They mention that the wrestling business is weird because they were best friends with those guys and spent nearly every day together, and although they’re still friends, they only text each other once a month now.

Jericho mentions that the WWE schedule is a grind. He actually met Styles in an airport recently and Styles mentioned that he was very busy, but Jericho notes that you simply can’t turn down the success Styles is having right now as WWE’s top guy. The Bucks say they love their schedule, and add that WWE wouldn’t be able to pay them what they’re making right now on the schedule they have.

Matt and Nick mention that they can book time off and relax whenever they want, and they’re still running their massive merchandise empire from home. Their shirts are flying off the shelves at Hot Topic, and they own their own merchandise which means they make good money from those sales.
