10 Things You Didn’t Know About Bullet Club
4. Legendary Dynasties
Everyone knows Cody Rhodes’ legendary lineage, but he’s far from the only Bullet Club member to come from a decorated wrestling dynasty. Bullet Club has always featured at least one second generation superstar within their ranks, and they currently have two in Tama Tonga and Tanga Roa.
Tonga is legendary pro-wrestling tough guy Haku’s eldest son. He has been with NJPW since 2010, and while initially linked with a move to WWE after AJ and Gallows & Anderson had jumped ship, he has shown no signs of actually following them. Roa, meanwhile, is a relative NJPW newcomer and Tonga’s younger brother. They’re already two-time IWGP Tag Team Champions as Guerrillas of Destiny, and their youngest sibling, HikuLe’o, recently joined the NJPW Dojo as a trainee.
The duo briefly brought their father into the fold for two nights around Wrestle Kingdom 10, and both compete with his trademark savagery. Still, we’ve never heard of either popping another man’s eyeball out or biting somebody’s nose off, so there are clearly limits to their old man’s influence.
Scott Hall’s son Cody also ran with the group from January 2015, though he was struck down by a serious injury in early 2016, and hasn’t been seen since.
