Styles, Nakamura, Anderson, and Gallows update

[Stopspot]

Congratulation to WWE on getting this video right. No padding, no tweaks to him. It's Nakamura plain and simple

 

[Prince Bálor]

Good vid. Hyped for his match against Zayn!

 

[Prince Bálor]

The teasing for Bálor Club continues...

[Prince Bálor]

Yeah, I saw that about 5 minutes ago.

What would be hilarious, though, is if Bálor Club featuring Machine Gun and Doc never formed and Finn gets the Best Troll award.

 

[seabs]

I'd rather have them debut.

 

[Prince Bálor]

I guess I wouldn't hate it, as long as Bálor Club doesn't rip off Bullet Club completely.

How could it? The dynamic is completely different, the whole Bullet Club schtick was being disrespectful Gajins wasn't it? That wouldn't work in the US scene.

The shirts are about as similar as WWE can legally get. And Bullet Club is/was also a lot of douchey "insider" schtick. The crotch chops, too sweets etcetera.

Then there's the fact that WWE legit tried buying the Bullet Club name but NJPW gave them the finger (confirmed by new japan) that indicates that WWE had intentions to just take the entire act and run with it as it was

But how would the Gajin aspect work? That was a pretty big aspect of the Bullet Club at the beginning at least. They probably wanted to take the brand and are using the image as it's the most recognisable branding in wrestling they don't own. It wasn't going to be a direct copy, it'll be similar but most cool stables are.

I guess Finn being foreign would work. But I also think WWE cared less about the foreigner aspect and more on the disrespectful punks part.

Bernard found his Jannetty again?

 

[Stopspot]

If Chad is Bernard's Jannetty. What does that make Festus?
