10 Things WWE Don't Want You To Know About Bullet Club

10. Fantasy Island

Bullet Club's secret weapon and one of pro wrestling's underrated gems, Tama Tonga falls somewhere between Umaga and Roman Reigns as the perfect blend of savage islander and contemporary Samoan badass.

Alongside Guerillas Of Destiny partner and brother Tanga Loa, the adopted son of WWE and WCW legend Haku/Meng sharpens his grunt work as a polished pro-wrestler with a cold-as-ice disrespect for his opponents. Exhibiting an unhinged wild side as and when it suits, Tonga capably employs the killer instinct of his not-quite bloodline in high impact battles that suit New Japan's realistic style and his futuristic verve.

A founding member of Bullet Club, he's understood the power of the live microphone more and more over the years, talking with the levels of confidence and swagger numerous experienced WWE stars could do with aping when they dare stray from scripts.
