- On Twitter, AXS TV promoted one of their upcoming episodes of Wrestle Kingdom 12 featuring The Young Bucks taking on IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Roppongi 3k. Nick Jackson retweeted it saying, "One helluva match. Can't wait to hear UFC guy bury it on commentary!" Jackson is referring to Josh Barnett who does color commentary, alongside Jim Ross. This stems from the NJPW G1 Special back in July when The Young Bucks felt Barnett buried them on commentary, because the Young Bucks thought he didn't like their in-ring style. A fan then tagged Barnett, who denied those accusations and explained how he and Ross call the matches.
Roppongi 3k defends the IWGP Jr Tag Team Championship against the Young Bucks at #WK12 tonight on @AXSTV!

Have you even watched it? NOBODY BURIES YOU.

Both me and JR called it straight up (like we always do) and try to put over the workers as much as possible. We always try to express the heel/face dynamics and also make the matches seem as legitimate as we can so that the wrestlers look strong. My bad I guess. ??
