6 Ups And 2 Downs From NJPW Best Of The Super Juniors 24

2. The Villain Has Arrived

The Bullet Club have transcended the normal outlets of wrestling content, creating their own YouTube show that hops in and out of kayfabe whenever they see fit. It was there that they built up the reveal of Marty Scurll's addition to the unit. However, in order to legitimise the story in the world of wrestling, The BC needed to properly introduce their new recruit in the ring.

BOSJ 24 proved to be the perfect stage. Marty debuted in NJPW against his age-old rival Will Ospreay, presenting his own villainous brand of wrestling. The evil cackle; the finger-breaking; the 'just kidding' superkick; by the end of the tournament, there were even fans in attendance with their own crow masks.

Coming out of Wrestle Kingdom 11, The Bullet Club was in disrepair. They dropped all of their titles and disappeared for months, allowing Suzuki-gun and LIJ to entrench themselves as the top heel factions. Marty's arrival has coincided with The BC's rebirth. Though he didn't win, he belongs to a faction on the rise, and undoubtedly he'll be after the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship the first chance he gets.
