Every Bullet Club Member Past & Present: Ranked From Worst To Best

Separating the Kenny Omegas from the Bone Soldiers.

Bullet Club are wrestling's most recognisable stable, and it's not even close.

Formed by Prince Devitt, Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, and Karl Anderson in May 2013, the nWo/DX-inspired group have conquered the wrestling world. The t-shirts are everywhere, their most prominent members generate more buzz than anyone else outwith WWE, and they're never short of championship gold.

Bullet Club's ranks have gone through major changes over the years, with 26 individual wrestlers coming and going since Wrestling Dontaku 2013. Members past and present have held every single NJPW title since the group was born, but they recruit from all levels of the New Japan hierarchy, with lifelong jobbers sitting alongside former IWGP Heavyweight & Intercontinental Champions on their list of alumni.

Ranking them is difficult, but not impossible. It doesn't take a genius to see that Kenny Omega has played a bigger role in BC's success than Cody Hall, but the upper echelons require a deeper dive, particularly when it comes to former leaders.

With a focus on tenure, accomplishments, wrestling ability, their fit within the group, and contribution to Bullet Club's legacy and identity, here's how they all shape up.

19. The Part-Timers

Is it a cop-out to throw all of Bullet Club's part-time members under a single heading? Perhaps, but none of these performers accomplished enough to justify their own individual entry.

Haku is the most relevant to the group's current state. The father of three-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Guerrillas Of Destiny (adoptive, in Tanga Loa's case) managed his sons at July's G1 Special In USA, and wrestled thrice under the Bullet Club imprint in 2016, with his most recent match taking place in November.

Jeff and Karen Jarrett squeezed their way into the Club's ranks at Wrestle Kingdom 9, where 'Double J' worked a six-man tag. 'Bullet Babe' Amber Gallows once occupied a semiregular managerial role, but left when her husband departed for WWE. La Commandante, Mephisto, Rey Bucanero, and El Terrible all appeared in the stable's CMLL subgroup, Bullet Club Latinoamerica, but the offshoot was abandoned years ago.

We could cast the net even further and include other one-timers like Scott D'Amore, but let's not go there...
