History of BULLET CLUB (2013-present)

 

BULLET CLUB

Founded: May 3rd, 2013
Years active: 2013-present
Members: see below


BULLET CLUB (バレットクラブ, Barettokurabu), stylized as BULLET CLUB and sometimes shortened to BC, is a professional wrestling stable that has appeared in almost every major wrestling promotion in the United States, as well as overseas in Japan and other countries. The group primarily appears in the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). In the United States, the group currently appears on events run by the company's U.S. subsidiary, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America, as well as U.S. partner promotions such as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, formerly known as Impact Wrestling) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The group additionally appears on events promoted by Tamashii, NJPW's Australasian affiliate, as well as on events of other Australasian independent promotions. 

The group was formed in May of 2013 when Irish wrestler Prince Devitt betrayed his Japanese partner Ryusuke Taguchi and came together with American wrestler Karl Anderson and Tongan wrestler Bad Luck Fale and Tama Tonga to form a villainous stable of foreigners, which they subsequently named Bullet Club. Before the end of the year, the stable was joined by three other Americans, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Doc Gallows. Wrestlers from the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion have also worked tours of NJPW as members of the group, which led to a formation of an offshoot group named Bullet Club Latinoamerica in CMLL in October of 2013. At the end of 2013, Bullet Club held both the IWGP Junior Heavyweight and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships while also having conquered three of NJPW's five annual tournaments. The stable marked a major turning point for the career of Devitt, a longtime fan favorite, who began his ascent out of the junior heavyweight division and into the IWGP Heavyweight Championship picture.

In April of 2014, Devitt left NJPW and was replaced in Bullet Club by American wrestler AJ Styles. The following month, Bullet Club received its first Japanese member when Yujiro Takahashi betrayed his former partners in CHAOS to help Styles capture his first IWGP Heavyweight Championship, meaning that the stable had now held all titles NJPW had to offer. When NJPW added a seventh title (the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship) at the start of 2015 and an eighth title (the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship) in July 2017, Bullet Club quickly won them as well. To date, they are the first of three stables (the others being CHAOS and Taguchi Japan) to have won every championship available in NJPW. They also held every male championship in Ring of Honor (ROH) (World, Television, World Tag Team and World Six-Man Tag Team) active at the time of the NJPW/ROH partnership. The stable continued to add members, most notably Canadian wrestler Kenny Omega, who became the group's leader in early 2016 when Styles, Anderson and Gallows all left NJPW. After a "civil war" broke out between The Elite and the OG factions within the stable, Omega, Cody Rhodes, Marty Scurll, "Hangman" Adam Page and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) quietly left the faction in October 2018 to form their own splinter group called The Elite, which would eventually be the driving force behind All Elite Wrestling. Following The Elite's formation, New Zealand wrestler "Switchblade" Jay White took over as the fifth leader of the group.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions beginning in 2020, a portion of the group (including White) could not travel to Japan, with EVIL becoming the de facto sixth leader and the leader of the Japan-based contingent of the group, while White (along with other members unable to travel back to Japan) established a U.S.-based branch. Even after travel restrictions began easing as time went on, the two branch structures would remain in place as they would expand into Impact Wrestling with Chris Bey becoming the first African American member and the first wrestler to join from the Impact roster. In March 2023, David Finlay became the seventh leader of the group. A month later on April 5th, 2023, Jay White would make his official debut for AEW, establishing with Juice Robinson a new branch of the group called Bullet Club Gold.

GROUP CONCEPT:

Bullet Club was conceived by New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) in early 2013, following a positive fan response to a storyline, where Prince Devitt turned on his longtime tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi to form a villainous partnership with Bad Luck Fale. Originally, Devitt and Fale were scheduled to go on a as a duo, but the storyline was altered with them instead coming together with Karl Anderson and Tama Tonga to form an all-gaijin (foreigner) stable. Devitt came up with the name Bullet Club, which was in reference to his finger gun hand gesture and "Real Shooter" nickname and Anderson's nickname, "The Machine Gun". In naming the group, Devitt has stated that he specifically did not want the word "the" in front of the name or a name just consisting of three letters. Other names considered for the stable included Bullet Parade, Bullet League and Bullet Brigade. As of May 2016, the Bullet Club trademark is owned by NJPW. Behind the scenes, the four founding members of Bullet Club were best friends and travel partners.

The group has been compared to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) stable New World Order (nWo). As a way of paying homage to the nWo, members of Bullet Club began using the stable's signature "Too Sweet" hand gesture. The gesture, originally conceived by The Kliq's Sean Waltman and referred to by Kevin Nash as the "Turkish wolf", had supposedly been used by Anderson and Devitt behind the scenes since 2006. In March 2015, WWE filed a trademark application for the hand gesture. Some, including Matt and Nick Jackson, suggested this was done due to Bullet Club's popularity. The application was ultimately abandoned by WWE. In August 2015, after Devitt had joined WWE as Finn Balor, WWE released Balor Club merchandise playing off Bullet Club. WWE recognized Bullet Club in the first week of January 2016, when discussing rumors about members of the stable joining the promotion, preceding AJ Styles' debut in the WWE at the 2016 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. In April of 2016, the former Bullet Club tag team of Gallows and Anderson debuted for WWE, with their NJPW background again being acknowledged by the promotion, eventually forming The Club with Styles. On September 25th, 2017, Bullet Club appeared outside of WWE's RAW show in Ontario, California, spoofing a segment from 1998 where D-Generation X "invaded" WCW's Nitro. Afterwards, WWE sent members of the stable a cease and desist letter, claiming they were using the company's intellectual property, specifically the Too Sweet hand gesture, leading to merchandise featuring the gesture being pulled from stores. WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs was let go by the company for posting a photo on Instagram with members of Bullet Club, taking during the mock invasion.

nWo's founding member Kevin Nash has praised Bullet Club as a more athletic version of the nWo, stating that there is mutual respect between the two stables, and informally passing the torch from his stable to the Bullet Club. Jeff Jarrett, who has represented both Bullet Club and the nWo, has named in-ring ability as the main difference between the two stables, stating "Bullet Club is off the charts bell to bell more talented". Former NJPW wrestler and current WWE trainer Matt Bloom has stated that Bullet Club's popularity helped the promotion become global. 

Bullet Club's matches often involve outside interferece, ref bumps or other heel tactics, which are now more common in American professional wrestling and are rarely seen in Japanese puroresu, even in matches involving other villainous acts. This disregard for Japanese traditions and culture got the stable over as a top act. Bullet Club has garnered a substantial amount of worldwide popularity, especially among American professional wrestling fans. As of March 2016, the stable's original Bullet Club Bone Soldier t-shirt was the top selling shirt on the Pro Wrestling Tees store, outselling all top independent wrestlers and WWE veterans affiliated with the site. In 2017, Bullet Club shirts were made available at Hot Topic stores, where they also became huge sellers, supposedly selling 100,000 copies in the first 3 months. Bullet Club's popularity in the United States has led to members of the stable working as fan favorites at events held in the country.

As Bullet Club is owned by NJPW, all wrestlers joining the stable, including those who have joined at Ring of Honor (ROH) events, have to be approved by NJPW booker Gedo.

THE PRINCE DEVITT ERA (2013-2014):

On February 3rd, 2013, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Prince Devitt pinned IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi in a tag team match, where Devitt and Karl Anderson faced Tanahashi and Devitt's longtime Apollo 55 tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi. This led to a match between Devitt and Tanahashi on March 3rd at NJPW's 41st anniversary event. Though neither man's title was on the line in the match, Tanahashi vowed to relinquish the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in case Devitt was victorious. After defeating Devitt, Tanahashi went to help his opponent up, but was pushed away by the disappointed Junior Heavyweight Champion. The following weeks, Devitt began portraying a more cocky and villainous persona, regularly disrespecting both partners and opponents, with the exception of Ryusuke Taguchi, whom he tried to get to go along with his new attitude. However, this changed on April 7th at the Invasion Attack pay-per-view, when Devitt attacked Taguchi, after the two had failed to recapture the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from the Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and Kushida). During the attack, Devitt was helped by the returning King Fale, who attacked not only Taguchi, but also Time Splitters and Captain New Japan, whom Devitt then proceeded to unmask. Following the attack, Devitt took a microphone, introduced Fale as his new "bouncer", giving him the nickname "The Underboss" Bad Luck Fale and dubbed himself the "Real Rock 'n' Rolla". At the following pay-per-view, Wrestling Dontaku 2013 on May 3rd, Devitt and Fale teamed up for the first time to defeat Taguchi and Captain New Japan in a tag team match. Later on in the night, Devitt and Fale entered the ring to attack now former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi, after he had defeated Karl Anderson in a match. Anderson was invited to join the attack at first hesitant as he was confused, but then turned on Tanahashi, hitting him with the Gun Stun. Also, Tama Tonga who makes his return and who had a partnership with Anderson for the last few weeks joined in on the attack. In a post-match interview, the four men announced the formation of an all-gaijin stable named "Bullet Club".

The four members of the group wrestled their first match together on May 22nd, when they defeated Captain New Japan, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Manabu Nakanishi and Ryusuke Taguchi in an 8-man tag team match. Two days later, Devitt entered the 2013 Best of the Super Juniors Tournament, where he won his block with a clean record of 8 wins and 0 losses, advancing to the knockout stage on June 9th, where he first defeated Kenny Omega in the semifinals and then Alex Shelley in the finals to win the tournament, after which he proceeded to challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi. Devitt's old tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi had originally earned a spot in the semifinals of the tournament, but a legititmate hip injury forced him to pull out. During the following day's press conference, Devitt also mentioned a move to the heavyweight division, aiming to become the first wrestler to hold the IWGP Junior Heavyweight and IWGP Heavyweight Championships simultaneously. On June 22nd, at Dominion 6.22, Devitt defeated Tanahashi, again following interference by the Bullet Club, to earn his first shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The reigning champion, Kazuchika Okada, accepted Devitt's challenge for the title later in the event on the condition that he first defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against his CHAOS stablemate Gedo. Bullet Club's feud with Tanahashi continued at the July 5th Kizuna Road 2013 pay-per-view, where Tama Tonga and visiting Mexican wrestler Terrible lost the Consejo Mundial del Lucha Libre (CMLL) World Tag Team Championship to Tanahashi and Jushin Thunder Liger. Terrible worked  also the rest of his two-week NJPW tour as a member of Bullet Club. After successfully defending his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship against Gedo, Devitt received his match for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship on July 20th, but was defeated by Okada, despite interference by Bullet Club.
