David Finlay, the current leader of the Bullet Club, has claimed that the faction has surpassed the nWo, at least in terms of size.
On a recent edition of the “Hitting The Turnbuckle” podcast, Finlay, the current leader of the group, compared the faction to the WCW staple group. He said,
“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.”
Finlay replaced Jay White as the group’s leader in 2023, ten years after the group was first formed by Prince Devitt (today known as Finn Balor.)
Other leaders of the faction include Evil, White, AJ Styles, and Kenny Omega.
The Bullet Club, a popular professional wrestling faction, has been making waves in the wrestling world. Led by David Finlay, the group has recently claimed to have surpassed the nWo in terms of size. This bold statement has sparked discussions among wrestling fans and industry insiders.
During a recent episode of the “Hitting The Turnbuckle” podcast, Finlay compared the Bullet Club to the iconic nWo faction from WCW. He expressed his belief that the Bullet Club has become the biggest faction of all time, surpassing the nWo in terms of size. However, he also acknowledged that whether this is a good or bad thing is subjective.
The nWo, short for New World Order, was a dominant force in professional wrestling during the late 1990s. Led by Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash, the nWo revolutionized the industry with their rebellious and anti-establishment attitude. They were known for their disruptive tactics and changing the landscape of wrestling.
Finlay acknowledged the impact of the nWo, stating that it was at its best when it was a chaotic and unpredictable group. He believes that the Bullet Club, with its presence in major promotions worldwide, offers a unique concept that has never been seen before in wrestling.
The Bullet Club was originally formed in 2013 by Prince Devitt, who is now known as Finn Balor in WWE. Since its inception, the faction has had several leaders, including Evil, Jay White, AJ Styles, and Kenny Omega. In 2023, David Finlay took over as the leader of the group.
Under Finlay’s leadership, the Bullet Club has continued to grow and expand its influence. The faction has members in various wrestling promotions, including New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Ring of Honor (ROH), and All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This cross-promotional presence has allowed the Bullet Club to reach a wider audience and establish itself as a global force in wrestling.
The Bullet Club’s success can be attributed to its ability to adapt and evolve over the years. The faction has consistently attracted top talent from around the world, showcasing a mix of international stars and homegrown talent. This diversity has contributed to the group’s popularity and longevity.
While the claim of surpassing the nWo in terms of size may be debatable, there is no denying the impact and influence of the Bullet Club. The faction has become a cultural phenomenon, with its merchandise selling out and its iconic “Too Sweet” hand gesture becoming a symbol of unity among wrestling fans.
As the Bullet Club continues to grow and make its mark in the wrestling industry, it will be interesting to see how it further cements its legacy. Whether it can truly surpass the nWo’s impact remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – the Bullet Club has left an indelible mark on professional wrestling and has become a force to be reckoned with.
