>>5922780>The Bullet Club got over in a big way because someone with the credibility of AJ Styles joined themNo, not really. They hype was wwe signing Devitt and saying he was from New Japan. It got bigger when they signed Nakamura and AJ, mostly because they publicised the shit out of those signings. That's what sent the edrones to watch njpw instead of NXT and why you saw bullet club shirts at wrestlemania etc.
No one ever talked about new japan until those signings. Saying this as someone who has been watching njpw since 1998.
