5. He Formed The Bullet Club
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c8v-2jPnwc Every pro wrestling fan knows that a powerful faction can make a world of difference for a company. The Four Horsemen helped put Jim Crockett Promotions on the map on a national level, The nWo helped resurrect WCW and took them to new heights in the industry. Finn Balor knows all about this concept, fully grasping it when it formed his own faction in New Japan. The Bullet Club began in 2013 and featured Balor as a top heel. The group was very reminiscent of the early nWo and had much of the same swagger that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall had. However, The Bullet Club had not come to New Japan to take surveys; they came to terrorize everyone that stood in their way. They quickly became the most ruthless group in the company and Balor was almost certainly more punishing and devious than he ever had been. The Bullet Club did not care about playing by the rules, they broke them every step of the way. Finn was not just a follower that cooperated on this; he was a rebel that led the charge. To get over individually is hard enough. One has to be phyisically and mentally ready, for the pressures that go along with performing under the bright lights. However, to get over in a faction is something else altogether. Balor's personality could have been lost in the shuffle among the others in the group. However, he rose to the top and continued to wreak havoc on the New Japan locker room. He proved himself to be a very versatile performer and that will definitely bode well for him in WWE.
