10 Reasons You Should Be Watching New Japan Pro Wrestling
4. Los Ingobernables De Japon
Bullet Club t-shirts are still ever present at wrestling shows across the world. The Club has even made its way into WWE, albeit in a much watered down format. However, like most things that grow so large, the sparkle has begun to fade. It's hard to have everybody love you and still be cool.
It's not only their size which has hurt The Bullet Club, though. A big part of that sparkle wavering is the rise of Los Ingobernables de Japon. Led by last year's MVP, Tetsuya Naito, LIJ are the new coolest faction in New Japan. Their merchandise is already hitting Bullet Clubs levels of sales.
This five-man team, which also includes Junior Heavyweight Champion Takahashi, are taking on Bullet Club at their own game with a laissez-faire attitude towards the rules and some stylish threads to go along with it.
LIJ are set to be an integral part of NJPW programming in 2017, and you might just want to grab one of those shirts before everyone else gets there first.
