10 Things WWE Don't Want You To Know About Bullet Club
9. New Japan Sports Entertainment
Until recently, The Young Bucks were one of the more divisive acts in all of professional wrestling. Their fourth wall-smashing offence, Dave Meltzer pandering and high impact hi-jinks were tough to take for some purists but argued through by progressive thinkers that saw serious success in their supposed silliness.
Their Hollywood hybrid of action, comedy and drama represented the earliest ethos of Bullet Club in general. Formed in the embers of Prince Devitt (Finn Bálor's partnership with Ryusuke Taguchi, the parade of Westernised w*nkers went against much of New Japan Pro Wrestling's philosophy and foundation.
Leadership over the years passed from Devitt to AJ Styles to Kenny Omega, whilst others members circuited in and out of the group, but the view hasn't really changed. Recent additions of Marty Scurll and Cody Rhodes have been a less subtle grasp at North American wrestling zeitgeist, but early indications suggest the tactic has worked just as well. Far from the 'stick a t-shirt on them' philosophy of the New World Order, Bullet Club membership remains mutually beneficial four years on from formation.
