There is a rift in Bullet Club right now. The NJPW faction is currently led by David Finlay – who recently recruited Clark Connors, Dan Maloney, Alex Coughlin & Gabriel Kidd to their ranks.
Finlay had taken leadership from Jay White, who would form a new branch of the faction in AEW – titled Bullet Club Gold. However, this faction isn’t recognized by Finlay or Connors – who feel White simply wasn’t cut out for NJPW anymore.
Clark Connors Doesn’t Know What Jay White Is Doing, But It’s Not Bullet Club
While speaking on Squared Circle Podcast, Clark Connors had the following to say about Bullet Club Gold.
“The fact that it’s called Bullet Club Gold means it’s not the original. It’s some knockoff of something. How they got the rights, how they’re using Bullet Club, I don’t know. I think it’s bullshit. I think it’s an offense to what Bullet Club is. People might say, ‘Well, they’ve been in Bullet Club longer than you.’ It’s like, no, they have not. I’m in the real Bullet Club. They are not. They’re just making up their own thing over there. Good for Jay White. That’s all I got to say. Good for Juice Robinson. They couldn’t cut it in New Japan Pro Wrestling, so they had to go over to AEW. That’s all I got to say about that.
AEW consistently has the worse wrestlers than New Japan Pro Wrestling. New Japan, as much as I don’t love the company as it is, we are the best pro wrestlers in the world, and Bullet Club is the top faction in that company. Therefore I am one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. Better than Jay White. Better than Juice Robinson. I’ve just never had the chance to prove it. Here it is, my chance is coming. I just saw that the they brought in those Ass kids. Good God. That’s good. Please, all four of them versus any four of the War Dogs. I mean, we’re going to destroy. We’ll mop the floor with them. Like I said, Jay’s a great leader and Juice is a veteran, but these two kids, these goofballs, good for them. I don’t know what the hell they’re doing, but it isn’t Bullet Club.”
Bullet Club Gold Is Building Their Ranks
Right now, Bullet Club Gold has two official members, those being Jay White & Juice Robinson. White got add from Austin & Colton Gunn in his match against Ricky Starks, indicating that the former AEW World Tag Team Champions are joining the group.
Another potential member is the ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe, who will team with White & Robinson on June 17th.
