NWO or Bullet Club?

nWo. BC has gone as far as its gonna go. It's a pretty pointless stable at this point.

A stable who are preparing for their very own Indy show (which will probably draw whatever their goal is) and making loads of cash without the WWE is not pointless. Unless you are joking, that is an incredibly inaccurate statement.

 

And I say that as somebody who does not watch NJPW regularly or ROH at all.

nWo. I just can't stand BC fans, Go to shows and its all just "The Elite the The Elite" "Two Sweet" and everyone is wearing a different shirt so no matter where you are your bound to around a BC fan.

Thats because they are a cool team, have never not been a cool team and market themselves really well worldwide. What you have demonstrated here is that you hate something because its popular, like some kind of idiotic wrestling hipster, like boohoo something is popular that you dont quite get or understand. I wonder if there were people like you in the 90s with the NWO?

 

By far and away have NWO effected wrestling and probably more than BC ever will. Im not a big fan of either I didnt grow up in the NWO era and I missed when BC were at the height of their powers, but its an easy question.

except the whole group is based on the NWO from the merchandise to the mannerism at least when it was originally started if no NWO I highly doubt they would have had any of the look they would have had now

Except that the nWo was based on the Kliq in the West and the UWF invasion in Japan in the first place. The nWo was also an entire brand inside WCW (company wu

wide feud) , while the Bullet Club is not.

 

And the merch looks nothing alike. Like... At all. Black shirts with white text isn't a nWo creation.

Yeah the first incarnation of BC was very Kliq-like. Its only become like the NWO because they include every gaijin available and have like half a dozen shitty members that dont do anything.

 

When there starts to become a rival faction wearing red and black, then it will be just like the NWO.

This is actually a harder question that i thought it would be, i was young when the nWo was around so i don't have the most clear memories of them outside of the massive moments they had but i might have to go with Bullet Club for the simple fact that for the most part they are doing it all by themselves. They are doing a ton for independent wrestling, because of them wrestlers have their own merch in Hot Topic, they are working with Funko to have their own Pop figures, they helped ROH have their biggest year yet and are helping NJPW grow in America.

Not even a question. Whether you like Bullet Club more or not, they will never be anything more than an homage to the nWo and the cliq. They can't step outside of that shadow. Their entire existence was intentionally built around that.

 

Now...if the question was worded differently, then there might be a few scenarios where Bullet Club would be the correct answer. But the question was never "who is better", "who accomplished more/had more gold"...or anything like that. The question was about impact. And as long as the Bullet Club exist, they will always exist for the sole reasoning that nWo existed first.

nWo, and it's not even close. Some of you were too young to see the nWo at their peak. But as someone who's seen both, trust me, the nWo had a MUCH bigger impact. The only time in the history of this planet that anyone has beat Vince McMahon in wrestling was WCW when the nWo was hot.

 

Tell me stories of the war grandpa.

 

 

Also yeah, incorrect. People have beat him before, but Vince always comes out on top so he knows how to write history. History is always written by the victors and the only reason they ever mentioned WCW beating them is because they turned the thing into the biggest storyline in the company.

So far... The nWo. But it is close.

 

I think people don't realize how much the Bullet Club effected the Wrestling World outside the WWE.

 

nWo made wrestling cool. The Bullet Club made indy wrestling hot.

 

This. Bullet Club has made it viable to be a huge star while not in WWE. Before the popularity of the BC there never would have been the potential of having shirts in hot topic, having such big gaijin stars such as Prince Devitt, AJ Styles and Kenny Omega (as well as the rest of BC tbh), a guy like Cody Rhodes couldn't walk away from WWE and be even more relevant and someone the stature of Chris Jericho wouldn't have gone to Wrestle Kingdom over WrestleMania.

 

Now, nWo is more influential right now because the coverage was much bigger (as well as Hogan turning heel which was huge) but to say that it isn't close, or that BC haven't done anything is crazy. Both are game changing in different ways in different eras.
