  2. Bad Luck Fale is the OG Catalyst. If he wasn’t protecting Finn…..nothing ever happens!

    Hail the Heater Fale!

    Edit: OG

  3. Prince Devitt🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾. The longevity of BC can’t be underestimated or denied, from the alumni to the current faction of stars in their own right, the reinvention of BC has been better than any other legendary faction in wrestling history.

  4. New boom period? Lol, I think that is laughable to say. You can only call something a boom after the fact looking back. They had a good WrestleMania for once, they will need much more then that to change the mainstream popularity of wrestling in the West. We will see how things progress, but as of right now this just a narrative that is being pushed by WWE for its own benefit.

    As for the dominoes, the correct answer is Tanahashi saved pro wrestling by putting NJPW on his back and bringing it back to prominence. Nothing we have now would exist without him, period.

  6. BULLET CLUB in its inception & ever since, has been an entity unto its self. From “the Real Rock-N-Roller” “real shooter” the Prince himself to the titles won under AJ Styles leadership, to Omega giving AJ his walking papers by way of a One Winged Angel followed by a club beat down, the inception of The ELITE w/ the 7-star Best Bout Machine Omega w/ the Bucks, Cody “the American Nightmare”, Adam Cole, then ouster of Cole to the addition of a Man who put the ELITE to being bigger than Club, “the Villain” Marty Scurll! For the first time ever, Pro Wrestling Tees sells out umbrellas!! Then the Firing Squad, which was needed, to the Jay White Era, Evil leading the 100% Bullet Club off shoot House of Torture becoming bigger yet the leader on paper is Finlay & his War Dogs.

    It’s a top money maker that has been a major shot in the arm for NJPW & brought it to global prominence. AXS TV never would’ve signed it on for the US market & gave us a new option, even if it first started off as a history legend, it quickly ramped up to various formats. Bullet Club changed the game & showed that a story could just be told within the ring, not with incessant talking & predictable format week in week out. It’s that foundation that went from sports entertainment to PRO WRESTLING & giving all fans multiple options of what they want to watch. To want to constantly 💩 on AEW is just not good business. It’s in its infancy still, & will just need to work things out.

    Tribalist aside, nothing is wrong than having your favorite. Both shows have botches, both shows have misused talent & allowing a cancer like Punk to already start that in the WWE just talking💩. Seth Rollins sees the reality that the only person Punk cares about is Punk. His way or no way. He did that in 2014. AEW gave him back the stage & spotlight, which for him being straight edge, he is a spotlight junkie, not to be confused with the spot monkey Bucks. They need to really stop taking time from talent like Osprey, Kingston, & numerous others. They have lucrative contracts, so why not just turn on the cruise control. Put over Top Flight & the Infantry. Their success along with the other talent means AEW can succeed long term. Well, Tony needs to snatch up Scott D’Amore because the man did miracle worker in TNA before unceremoniously fired. TK can gain so much to take a back seat & let Scott steer the show & also become the on air Authority figure. Takes it off of Schiavone just to interview & call matches. His insight is valuable, but somewhat dated for sure. Ok, rant over. Downvote me as much as you want, but like he said “TELL ME WHEN I’M TELLING LIES”. Oh, & Perry in NJPW is a valuable lesson thru doing an excursion to align with HoT & develop more before the Scapegoat returns as a better heel or more like an Antihero.

    TELL ME WHEN I’M TELLING LIES!

  10. In all seriousness: I think BC are one of several groups who could be seen as the spiritual successors to the nWo (along with the Nexus, the Dark Order, and several others).

    They definitely have an identity of their own, but the influence is pretty clear.

  13. There are a couple initially unrelated events that help knock down that sequence too, and they happened years before the beginning of Bullet Club.  In early 2011, WWE didn’t have any solid booking ideas for Matt Cardona, then Zack Ryder, as a singles, while over in TNA, the Young Bucks, then Generation Me, were just meandering around when Kazuchika Okada began his excursion there.  Zack Ryder started Z! True Long Island Story as a way to get himself over outside of TV while the Bucks and Okada began a friendship, supporting each other through the nonsensical booking of TNA.  Z! paved the way for a show like Being The Elite which played no small part in exploding Bullet Club’s popularity with a foreign audience, while the Bucks friendship with Okada got them booked in New Japan upon his return as the future Ace.
