10 Most Dominant Wrestling Stables Of All Time

4. Bullet Club

DX Bullet Club
NJPW

Bullet Club have had a heel stranglehold over New Japan Pro Wrestling for seven years now, and whilst the current incarnation may be the least culturally relevant, the longstanding legacy will be that of a group that traversed and transformed the wrestling world.

Each version of the group was partially defined by the leadership structure, up to and including the present day collection of stars headed up by EVIL and/or 'Switchblade' Jay White. Neither man has been a zeitgeist figure while at the helm of the controversial club, but both have captured the IWGP Heavyweight Championship thanks to their placements atop the gang.

Prince Devitt was a clinically exceptional sh*thouse heel as the group's inaugural gaffer, while AJ Styles carried on the legacy of having a f*cking fantastic wrestler at the helm. As did Kenny Omega, who helped elevate the industry's coolest t-shirt into the industry's coolest faction. At the centre of the group's incredible crossover appeal, Omega always had his eye on the next bigger and better idea, ensuring that the group moved forward with his similar gusto.

A hole torn in it by Cody Rhodes was sealed in time to form a new wrestling promotion, even if a seemingly permanent line was then drawn between that era and the one that exists to this very day.
