10 Best Stables In Wrestling Right Now

6. Suzuki-gun

The Inner Circle
NJPW

Minoru Suzuki's crew haven't always been as complimentary to New Japan's product as they are today. Their constant run-ins and other match-ruining shenanigans were a gripe of NJPW fans a few years ago, with f*ckery guaranteed in almost every big bout. A promotion people tune into for brilliant, cutting-edge ring action was undermining that with western fluff, and Suzuki-gun drew nought by go-home heat from those following abroad.

Bullet Club has since taken that mantle. It's not that Suzuki-gun doesn't run interferences anymore, but that they aren't as disruptive. The group has rarely been better as a result of this.

SZKG is a rogue gang of shooters and other rat bastards united by a terrifying mob boss, giving purpose to outcasts and the downtrodden. Suzuki and Zack Sabre Jr. are amongst the world's finest technical wrestlers. ZSJ's fellow IWGP Tag Team Champion, Taichi, is a glorious Sports Entertainment troll, while El Desperado, DOUKI, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru are as grimy as they come - and yet the group's aesthetic still bleeds seamlessly into each different personality. Nobody feels cast away in this group of castaways.
