Very much enjoyed the Adelaide show last year, hopefully they get a better ring. Cody said his arse was hurting wrestling on it, must have been an old boxing ring or something.

It's awesome and this faction is incredible, but it feels a tad wwe-like with them scooping up guys who are needed elsewhere, when they don't really need them themselves.

State of the Bullet Club


Beyond that, there's 3 sections of it now. They are:

The Tongans, OGs and Japanese based members
Tama Tonga
Tanga Loa
Bad Luck Fale (who I note is losing the weight NJPW told him to put on)
Hikuleo (Bullet Club young lion)
Chase Owens (identifies as Tongan; has being a regular normal tag partner of Kenny Omega and now Kota Ibushi)
Yujiro Takahashi
Taiji Ishimori

Being The Elite
Cody
Hangman Page
Marty Scurll
+
Young Bucks
Kenny Omega
who have now formed

The Golden Elite
Young Bucks
Golden Lovers (Kenny/Ibushi)

For now, The Golden Elite will be a part of the Bullet Club, as Kenny & The Tongans have been friendly with Kenny recently after the mini feud between Tama Tonga and Kenny last year. It should be noted that the newest member of Bullet Club, Taiji Ishimori, was inducted by Tama. This was interesting because it's a callback to when Omega tried to recruit Jay White and it backfired and Tama said that maybe we had the wrong guy trying to recruit Jay. Kenny hasn't really responded to this, as this happened on the same night the match with Okada was set up and which led to Omega putting all things Bullet Club on the backburner, but this could build to something. The status of Cody, Page & Scurll (The Mutineers) will be answered in the coming weeks and months, both through the Being the Elite show and the wrestling. It should be noted that the 6-Man Tag Team Championship is currently held by the Young Bucks and Marty Scrull

We'll get our first hints of where this is going over the next couple of days, with the newest ep of BTE and with the post-Dominion press conference and possible cards for the minor Kizuna Road shows. The Kizuna Road shows will feature the G1 announcements too. Tama Tonga/Tanga Loa probably don't feel so good about another Bullet Club heavyweight group taking the belts. The G1 special in the US (July 7) will also likely answer some stuff.

Updated State Of The Bullet Club (this post was made on the eve of the G1 and before the OG's turned on Kenny)

The Bullet Club OGs

Jay White (managed by Gedo. Jado is along for the ride as always)
Tama Tonga
Tanga Loa
Bad Luck Fale
Taiji Ishimori
Robbie Eagles
(The status of Hikuleo, the Bullet Club young lion, is unclear but likely belongs with the OGs as they need a pin eater)

Bullet Club Elite
Kenny Omega
Kota Ibusi
The Young Bucks
Cody
Hangman Page
Marty Scrull
Chase Owens
Yujiro Takahashi

Basically everything has been cleared up now, including the changes to CHAOS (White, Gedo and Jado out). I imagine Yujiro will probably turn on the Elite at some point, and the build to Kenny/Kota's match has started. OG's

Tbf, Dragon Gate is in a state of flux recently, with CIMA also leaving. I think PAC joining NJPW instead of Dragon Gate would have been more troubling

Reminds me of NWO Black/White and NWO Wolfpack

when do we get Latino World Order (or the equivalent)?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

So Mr Juicy got booted out of Bullet Club for Robbie Eagles?

 

[WA ROO]

For a second I thought Okada and Tanahashi were going to join forces against Bullet Club OG

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Switchblade is a vanilla midget

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Thanks Kevin

Switchblade is a vanilla midget

If he gets a title shot
Omega might have to carry him

You mentioned the OG’s need a pin eater, Yujiro turning would fix that

I'm not counting him until he does a tour, but with that said, I would have thought he would be Fale's partner for World Tag League

 

[JOELY]

Nice couple of shows to start the tour, especially the first night. How good does Shingo look? How good do those Young Lions look? Really enjoying the Tana/Kota and Okada/White stuff as well.

apparently NJPW are cracking down on the awesome people who make the animated gifs, claiming infringe of copyright.
