NJPW Star Says Bullet Club Has Surpassed The NWO As Biggest Faction Of All Time

NJPW

Current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champion Clark Connors says Bullet Club has surpassed the NWO as the biggest faction of all time.

In 2023, Bullet Club experienced its latest transformation when David Finlay replaced “Switchblade” Jay White as the newest leader of the group.

With the introduction of “The Rebel,” fans saw the latest iteration of the faction with the Bullet Club War Dogs, adding Gabe Kidd, Alex Coughlin, Drilla Maloney and Clark Connors.

The group formed in 2013 has seen a who’s who of stars throughout its history. From WWE stars like AJ Styles and Finn Balor to AEW stars Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, the stable has an enduring legacy now.

Speaking on Hitting The Turnbuckle, Clark Connors was asked about Bullet Club. After the interviewer compared the group to the NWO, Connors replied:

“Yeah, I mean, I think it’s eclipsed the NWO in terms of that, in terms of being the biggest faction of all time. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, I wouldn’t necessarily say.”

“Everyone knows the NWO was the best when it was a clusterf**k [laughs]. No, I think in terms of Bullet Club, it’s a cool idea that spans through all the major promotions in wrestling, which I find so unique. It’s never really been done before.”

“But that being said, the real Bullet Club is the Japanese Bullet Club. It is the War Dogs, led by David Finlay, and that’s all there is to it. It’s a lineage that runs through there.”

“There’s guys who obviously created the damn thing in companies, but they’re not there anymore. It’s ours, and we’re the only ones doing it correctly.”

“The Bullet Club, the War Dogs in particular, is how the Bullet Club always has been and should be, a bunch of foreigners kicking ass, doing whatever the fuck they want, and that’s damn sure what we’re doing,”
