Additionally, the “Being the Elite” YouTube series was inspired by Cabana’s podcast “The Art of Wrestling” and was a crucial step in The Young Bucks growing their fanbase. They had initially tried doing a series back in 2008 when they worked in Dragon Gate as a way for American fans to know what they were doing overseas. At the time they didn’t have the capacity, and felt the audience wasn’t there yet. They tried again after being inspired by Cabana, but he also had valuable advice.

“One thing that Colt said was you have to do it every week, because his “Art of Wrestling” came out every Thursday. Every single week,” said Nick. If you do this, It has to come out every week, and you can’t screw around with this, and we didn’t.”

The Bucks still, after seven years, post almost every week. Matt said there are times that he wants to quit it after being burnt out trying to come up with new ideas, but they continue because the fans still enjoy it. It’s clear no small part of their success is due to listening to the advice of Cabana.
