11 AWFUL Members Of Iconic Wrestling Stables

7. Bone Soldier (Bullet Club)

Edge Judgment Day
NJPW

No matter where you look, Bullet Club's fingerprints are all over the modern day wrasslin' business.

WWE's current top babyface sensation Cody Rhodes, AEW's Elite EVPs, Judgment Day kings, O.C. lads, Undisputed Kingdom leaders, and many more have all formed part of the unit at different times.

And while the faction's alumni section may be an absolute who's who of top-level talents, not every BC member has been a hit.

Some of those shots have well and truly missed the target.

Perhaps the biggest miss in Bullet Club history can be seen in the utter embarrassment that was the Bone Soldier character. A gimmick so dreadful, not only did one-time BC leader Kenny Omega once class him as an "intergalactic disaster", the one-time Captain New Japan also earned the title of Worst Gimmick of 2016 in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards.

Unsurprisingly, the dreadful member didn't last too long within the stable, with the crap Halloween mask, tracksuit-pant, and skull-shirt-wearing jobber being released just six months on from joining the squad.

A "new" Bone Soldier would ultimately arrive in 2018, with Taiji Ishimori picking up the mantle this time around and instantly being an improvement on the prior iteration.

Though it didn't take much, did it?
