10 Best Character Arcs In Wrestling Today

The devious Switchblade is the thorn in the side of many a New Japan wrestler and fan alike. Gleefully horrible in his approach to the ring, Jay White has both fallen and risen a great distance from his days as a young lion in the dojo system.

Scouted by Bullet Club lifer Bad Luck Fale, the young lion White was considered a prodigy and future ace of the universe contender. He put up a valiant fight against Kenny Omega on his way out the door and his return quickly grew highly anticipated.

Over 18 months later, a cruel and vindictive figure emerged in New Japan. Out to destroy the wrestling world around him as much as conquer it, White sabotaged various factions and stars on his road to super stardom. He’d grown hard of heart and cynical during his time away and now cared only about his success and ensuring the failure of everyone else.

Devoid of honour but overflowing with ability, White was appointed the new leader of the Bullet Club by those in the team tired of The Elite. Almost like a prince that was promised to Fale and friends, White has led the team to much success in 2019, restoring their original criminal ways in the process.

A soaring success on the outside and a blackhearted scumbag within, White is a classic villain in the modern wrestling world.
