10 Best Stables In Wrestling Right Now
7. Bullet Club
Bullet Club has shot back to prominence after slipping in the wake of The Elite's New Japan departures, first through the rise of Jay White as the promotion's top foreign heel, and now with EVIL's betrayal of Los Ingobernables de Japon.
Success-wise, defeating Tetsuya Naito to capture the IWGP Intercontinental and World Championships immediately places Bullet Club back at the top of NJPW's stable pile. It was a genuinely shocking piece of booking, more out of "wtf?!" than "wow, that was cool!" and time will tell how it impacts business, though now is the time to take such risks. NJPW is only hosting shows at 30% capacity at the moment: the negative effects are mitigated.
Nonetheless, Bullet Club suffers because the act has barely evolved since the group's inception years ago. With their ranks now boasting more Japanese wrestlers than ever before, the western-style heel tactics are long in the tooth, played-out, and boring. Predictability and repetition undermine every big match as you know the interferences, distractions, and ref bumps are only right around the corner, leaving them as tedious as Suzuki-gun were a few years ago, despite EVIL's lofty new status.
