Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this thing called “Bullet Club.” It’s basically a group in the Japanese pro wrestling scene, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, or NJPW for short. They’ve also started popping up in the US on some events.
I got into this because I was watching some wrestling and kept hearing about this “Bullet Club.” I was curious, so I started digging around. Found out they’ve been around since 2013. Ten years! Can you believe it?
First, I tried to figure out who’s who in this group. Turns out, they’ve had a bunch of leaders over the years. Some names I recognized, like Prince Devitt, who a lot of folks know as Finn Balor now. Then there’s Karl Anderson, AJ Styles… big names.
I spent hours watching old matches, reading articles, and trying to piece together their whole history. It’s wild. They started as this group of “outsiders,” and the fans were really into Devitt. That’s how it all kicked off, apparently.
Members
Then I got into the whole members list thing. Man, it’s a long list. I made this huge chart with all the names, when they joined, left, all that stuff. It’s like a soap opera with all the drama and people switching sides.
- Prince Devitt
- Karl Anderson
- AJ Styles
- …and many more
And get this – they’re the first big group in NJPW made up mostly of “gaijin,” which is what they call foreign wrestlers. I always thought that was pretty cool. They’re like the rebels of the whole thing.
I even found out about this recent thing where one of their top guys, Jay White, got banned from New Japan. What’s up with that? I’m still trying to figure out all the details on that one. He had to defend his IWGP Championship, too. That’s wild!
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. I have got to say, following the Bullet Club was not just entertainment, it is also a deep dive into the wrestling world, full of surprises at every turn. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of it. I’ll probably keep digging, though. There’s always something new to find out about these guys.
Now, I am thinking about making a video or something about it, to share all this stuff I found. It’s just too much to keep to myself, you know?
The thing is, these guys have been around for so long, and there’s so much history there. It’s not just about the wrestling, but also all the stories and drama behind the scenes. It’s like a whole world of its own. And to be honest, I am just scratching the surface here. There’s a ton more to uncover about the Bullet Club and their impact on pro wrestling, especially in Japan and now spreading out to other places. It’s pretty fascinating stuff, at least to me.
I just wanted to share what I found so far. Maybe someone else out there is into this stuff, too, or maybe I just made a few more people curious about it. Either way, I think it’s a story worth telling.
If you’re into wrestling or even if you’re just curious about this whole Bullet Club thing, it’s a good start to get into it. It might just surprise you.
