When WWE purchased WCW in 2001, the Atlanta group's intellectual properties came with, affording Vince McMahon the opportunity to make limitless funds from Eric Bischoff's greatest ever creation. Then, in 2002, he got his hands on it, bodged it, blamed it, then killed it.

The nWo was a dead brand all over again less than six months after McMahon maniacally tippexed it on the back of an office chair, with a teased DX return parked just weeks later when Triple H planted Shawn Michaels with a Pedigree. After the sh*tnanigans of their 2006 and 2009 retreads, most fans probably wished WWE had left it shelved.

Yet, Bullet Club, with their chaotic beatdowns, crotch chops, 'too sweets', 'suck its' embody everything so beloved about the mid-'90s Kliq splinters in the first place. They're openly a tribute to both, but have somehow mixed up the best bits in to one ice cool cocktail. McMahon might hate it, but it's one more for the good guys.
