7. Bad Luck Fale

'Bad Match Fale' is an unfortunate nickname for the joint most tenured wrestler in Bullet Club history, but not inaccurate. A basic, plodding big man, Fale sticks out for all the wrong reasons when not paired with a Hiroshi Tanahashi or Kazuchika Okada. He has looked good in the past, and will continue to do so when working with such generational talents. Still, Manabu Nakanishi aside, he is the NJPW roster's floor when it comes to the in-ring.

This matters little when determining Fale's ranking. A day one member, Prince Devitt's 'Underboss' has been present through every Bullet Club era, never once dipping out of the stable. Tama Tonga is the only other person who can say that, and Fale does have value as an enforcer-type figure for a group largely comprised of much smaller men.

A former IWGP Intercontinental Champion, Fale is often booked like a force in the G1 Climax. He can, theoretically, beat anyone on his day. NJPW know how to book around his weaknesses, and that has been critical in preserving the big man as a credible BC bruiser.
