For anyone confused on Juice Robinson joining Bullet Club, it is a heel turn and joining that makes all the sense in the world.
Juice was in the NJ dojo at the same time as Switchblade Jay White. They came up in New Japan Pro Wrestling as young lions together.
Confirmed for
#AEWDynamite
- PAC vs Dax Harwood
- Tay Conti, Anna Jay & Thunder Rosa vs Dr. Britt Baker DMD, Rebel & Jamie Hayter
- Matt Sydal & Lee Moriarty vs Lio Rush & Dante Martin
- Bryan Danielson vs Rocky Romero
- Page/Omega
#FullGear
contract signing
#AEWRampage
I'm guessing Triple H didn't know Tegan Nox was getting called up after spending weeks with the battery vignette building to her return. Just a guess.
#SmackDown
Huge shout out to
@SeanRossSapp
of
@FightfulSelect
who did an excellent report bringing down everything concerning the decision to have The Rock face Roman Reigns at
#WrestleMania
instead of Cody Rhodes.
Holy shit, Jack Perry just appeared for the first time since
#AEWAllIn
.....at
#NJPW
Battle In The Valley to attack Shota Umino and rip up his
#AEW
contract.

IMPACT Wrestling has been killing it for months. Last night was yet another really good show that delivered. They have done this consistently for two years now.
#UnderSiege
That IMPACT show was a blast tonight. That roster keeps getting better and better and new pieces get added short and long term. They've retained a lot of great talent as well
Must watch Briscoes/Jay Briscoe matches
Jay vs Samoa Joe Steel Cage Match
Vs. Second City Saints Best 2 out of 3 Falls (7/23/04)
Vs. Generation Next ROH Unified
Vs. Kings of Wrestling ROH Final Battle 2006
Jay vs. Mark ROH Fifth Year Festival Finale
@TheLouisDangoor
Because one is capitalizing on their biggest crowd yet, while the other is in response to declining ratings due to NFL competition. It ain't rocket science why some are viewing the two matches differently
Most importantly, this is what NJPW needed. For the first time since the pandemic, New Japan feels hot and newsworthy again.
It's all thanks to Juice Robinson, Switchblade Jay White and Bullet Club. Happy Birthday BC, you been missed.
@JayWhiteNZ
@njpwglobal
Man I really do wish PWG joined the rest of the independent wrestling community and at least tried to get their shows out to fans worldwide in a timely fashion.
By the time their DVDs drop, everyone forgets.
It's frustrating especially with all the news from
#BOLA2023
Confirmed for this Wednesday's
#AEWDynamite
- Jon Moxley vs Brody King for the Interim
#AEW
World Title
- Scorpio Sky vs Wardlow in a Street Fight for the TNT Championship
- The Butcher & The Blade vs Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee
#AEWRampage
@AIRGold_
Both were on opposite sides of the Blood & Guts match. Darby won the
#1
contendership for Swerve's AEW World Title and Hangman wants back in the picture to get his revenge against Swerve.
It's obvious why this match is happening
Meanwhile, Switchblade had already set in motion his plot to cement Bullet Club once again as the stable in NJPW by associating with Adam Cole in AEW and kicking out G.O.D from the group due to their constant rejection of BC alum like The Elite & The Good Brothers.
Following White's excursion, the two men took different routes. Juice became a member of Hontai and perennial babyface, while Switchblade became a knife pervert who set in motion his plan to infiltrate and take over Bullet Club.
These paths met in a quest for the US gold.
@TheLouisDangoor
I think you're focusing too much on the term "ratings grabs". New Day/Bloodline is a PPV quality match being hotshotted to pop a rating on what will otherwise be a regular episode of Raw, while Danielson/Omega is being put on the biggest Dynamite ever.
It's the booking around it
When Switchblade says "It's Our Era", he means it. Starting as a young lion, White had lofty goals and has achieved it all.
Through this expansion and reestablishing, Bullet Club looks stronger than ever. Also, Juice Robinson seems stronger than ever. This is what he needed.
At the end of the night, Switchblade Jay White also returns to Japan, once again coming into NJPW with Juice. He sets his sights back on the IWGP World Heavyweight Title.
This truly shows the power and scale of his leadership in Bullet Club
White becomes IWGP Heavyweight Champion & the first grand slam singles champion in NJPW, while Robinson becomes a tag team champion with David Finlay in FinJuice
However, the pandemic and quarantine gets to both men and leads to them both leaving Japan together.
Switchblade's move to the US starts a new plot on how to make Bullet Club stronger upon his return to Japan.
This starts with finding a way to bring back Bullet Club alumni in first Adam Cole in AEW and eventually The Good Brothers in IMPACT.
Should we just start calling Kenny Omega "Mr. Wrestle Kingdom"?
Tanahashi currently owns the name for being a headliner so many times, but the quality and importance of these 4 matches might give Kenny the edge.
What do you think???

Juice Robinson always wanted the success that Jay White was able to achieve, but he wanted to do it the right way.
However, the right way led him down the path of nearly leaving everything that he set to achieve in NJPW and thus his own plot was set.
Meanwhile, Juice continues on his path, winning and losing the IMPACT Tag Team Titles with Finlay. All the while, he struggles to find the passionate version of himself that won the US gold twice in NJPW Strong.
The frustration builds within.
Major change over for
@IMPACTWRESTLING
today
Richard Schaefer named president of Anthem Sports Group
Scott DโAmore promoted to President of IMPACT Wrestling
Lou DโAngeli joins Anthem as Vice President of Marketing
Jay White won the IWGP US Title and Juice beat him for it, but it was Switchblade who went on to greater success, officially becoming the leader of Bullet Club later that year.
Meanwhile Robinson struggled to find his footing as he continued to fight the good fight.
The fact that creative has nothing for Miro is an issue for
#AEW
creative not Miro for protecting himself from bad booking.
They need to do something because God's Favorite Champion & The Redeemer needs to be on TV every week.
White even had House of Torture take care of BC's dirty work in Japan by furthering the split with Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa & Jado ahead of his return despite not really having them in the plans for his new vision.
Despite not being here, Switchblade was pulling all the strings.
This all came to a head at Wrestling Dontaku 2022 on the 9 year anniversary of Bullet Club.
Juice Robinson returns, lays out Hiroshi Tanahashi, turns heel and joins Bullet Club to further expand their ranks with fresh blood. He also sets his sights back on US gold.
These two former friends, both gaijins in NJPW, had gone down different paths, but they had to come together on their way back to Japan.
The seed of resentment towards a lack of success, being in a tag team and playing a background role in Hontai led to a change in Juice.
SANADA defeats Kazuchika Okada with Deadfall to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
Wow, he FINALLY did it! Outstanding main event that was captivating and had you on the edge of your seat the entire way.

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the YouTube channel this year and helped us hit our year end goal of 10K subscribers with 2 MONTHS to spare.
We are proud of this achievement, our team and the hard work it took!
THANK YOU!
The Hardys, Brother Isiah & HOOK defeat The Firm after the Swanton Bomb and Matt pins Ethan Page.
That was wacky, ridiculous and so much fun. Thank you
@MATTHARDYBRAND
.
That was the best version of this match since maybe Final Deletion, I laughed so much.
#AEWRampage
This plot starts with his NJPW contract nearing it's end and Juice saying that he didn't feel like wrestling anymore, making most believe his time with the company was over after Windy City Riot.
On the same show, his old friend and rival was continuing to rack up wins.
Our very own StatKing was live at

#AEW
showing the mainstream publicity that Swerve Strickland and Mercedes Mone has done recently helps to make the company feel like a bigger deal.
More of this please.
#AEWDynamite
An absolutely tremendous promo segment between Rhea Ripley & Becky Lynch.
Becky eloquently broke down the story and build for this Mania match brilliantly and I loved Rhea's response.
This was great.
#WWERaw
Top 10 must watch Owen Hart matches
1. vs Bret - WrestleMania 10
2. vs Bulldog - Raw 3/3/97
3. vs Bret - Summerslam 94
4. w/Hart Foundation vs Austin, Shamrock, Goldust & Legion of Doom - In Your House Canadian Stampede
5. vs Jushin Liger - NJPW 4/28/91
You can have your Sami Zayns, your Roman Reigns, your Will Ospreays and your Kenny Omegas.
Kazuchika Okada is the current frontrunner for Wrestler of the Year.
Mercedes Monรฉ vs Stephanie Vaquer was a great bout that had an electric crowd.
Vaquer had an excellent performance while Mercedes just has next level star power that elevates every match she's in.
#njresurgence
Who else feels incredibly old watching this?
This promo made so many lapsed wrestling fans go "what's going on over there?" The essence of a game changing moment/promo.
#Pipebomb
It has been an amazing year for me in wrestling media. Being able to interview Thunder Rosa, Royce Issacs, Darius Carter, Red Velvett, The Von Erichs & more.
For that, I have to thank those special talents who have taken time out to chat with me and answer my questions.
Got to interview
@thunderrosa22
today for our YouTube channel.
Her passion for
@MissionProWres
is so infectious and inspiring.
Truly a honor and privilege to speak with her about her career, background, what is her dream women's tag match to book and more.
Stay Tuned!
The fact that two top stars in Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens are having a match to have A TALK SHOW AT WRESTLEMANIA says everything you need to know about this company.
#WWERaw
TK, you were supposed to be our guy.
That tone deaf BS will wipe all your good will away.
Swole spoke the truth and that's your response? You been showing ass way too much as of late.
If this is true, this might be the sale that leads to a superstar revolt.
This might be one of the most unprecedented 48 hours in wrestling history if and when we get a proper announcement.

Praying for
@SussexCoChicken
today. It's his birthday and probably the toughest day of his life at the same time.
The wrestling world must come together to uplift him and the entire Pugh family.
#RIPJayBriscoe
Tremendous promo exchange between Dr. Britt Baker DMD & Mercedes Mone. Those two have the right kind of intensity and feel like they don't like each other at all.
Loved that segment a lot.

"When NJPW first came to me with an offer, I also had an offer with AEW. It was like, 'do I choose NJPW or do I choose AEW?' And I was like, 'what do you guys want me to do in AEW?' And they didn't know and then New Japan was like, 'we want you in Bullet Club.'"

Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today.
Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We'll do whatever we can to support his family.
Rest In Peace Jamin
We all holding out hope that this New Day vs Imperium program leads to Big E returning to face GUNTHER for the IC Title at Mania.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

This all leads to Big E coming back and taking Guntherโs title right?
I mean I canโt be the only person who is just praying and waiting for that to happen, right?
