      @Kevin Elite agenda? Lmaooo the only reason Bullet Club became a worldwide thing is because of the mafches Omeva had with Naito and Tanahashi and others. Nothing Devitt or AJ ever did in NJPW ever came close to those matches. Bullet Club became the top merch seller worldwide when the Bucks and Kenny was at the helm. This is fact, not a debate. You're probably just a disgruntled WWE mark.
