2. Karl Anderson

Karl Anderson was Mr. Bullet Club. He was there the night they formed, and his loyalty remained unwavering until the day he departed. Nobody else was a better embodiment of what the group was all about, and while 'Machine Gun' was never a big singles star in NJPW, he was a perfect reflection of his stable's identity.

Loud, brash, and as cocky as they come, Anderson was not only a key player between the ropes, but the group's mouthpiece for long periods of time. AJ Styles became Bullet Club's ace after debuting in 2014, but it was Anderson who assumed Prince Devitt's old leadership role, though he primarily worked as a tag wrestler, scoring three IWGP Tag Title reigns with Doc Gallows.

He may not have tasted the same level of success as the Club's bigger names, but nobody was more important in building, developing, and maintaining the stable's original outlaw spirit. BC lost its heart and soul when Anderson went to WWE. They're more popular now than ever before, but their identity is nowhere near as pronounced as when 'Machine Gun' was around, and they miss his personality dearly.
