>>16207450This guy dominated the conversation in the 2010's as WWE was getting stale, file sharing, live streaming, and social media formed the perfect storm for other wrestling promo's like New Japan or Lucha Underground to gain a foothold in the west. Bullet Club became the hipster japanese name drop of 10's wrestling the same way Dir En Gray was the hipster japanese name drop of 00's metal. Give a man his flowers, his matches were exciting and, at the time, completely different from what a western audience was used to seeing. His popularity increased because he was a weeb and wore it like a badge of pride.
But make no mistake, his best years were pre-AEW. And even post Double Or Nothing, his best matches were still in japanese promos.
