Every Bullet Club Member Past & Present: Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Tama Tonga

Nobody has ever represented Bullet Club stronger than Tama Tonga, whose staunch loyalty to the black-and-white brand hasn't wavered since he joined forces with Prince Devitt, Bad Luck Fale, and Karl Anderson on night one.

Tenure, dedication, his importance to the group, and his consistency as a tag wrestler earn this spot. Tama is a four-time IWGP Tag Team Championship. Him and brother Tanga Loa are a credit to the division, though they, like EVIL & SANADA, would benefit from increased competition in this thin group. They were key figures in reviving the upheaval that ultimately led to Jay White taking control of the group, too, with the Firing Squad angle once again pushing the Tongans to Bullet Club's forefront, allowing them to usher in the new 'Cutthroat Era' as 'Switchblade,' G.O.D., and Fale push the stable away from the image Kenny Omega had created.

Unfortunately, few of Tama's plus points come through as a singles wrestler. His most recent G1 Climax run was unwatchable, and he looked both out of his depth and over his head anchoring a major angle for the first time in his career. Let's hope we've seen the last of such experiments.
