They call heath Slater 'Red Dragon' which is a ROH Tag Team. They also steal Euro-Wrestling related gimmicks/nicknames! Curtis Axel is calling himself the "Axeman" which is the nickname of "Axel Tischer" who's currently in NXT under the name "Alexander Wolfe". And to make it even better! Alexander Wolfe's new "nickname/gimmick" is "The Burgermeister Of Backbreakers"(which hasn't been used on TV yet). And that kinda rips of "Messiah Of The Backbreaker" which is Roderick Strong's nickname. You do know that Curtis Axel is the grandson of AWA great Larry "the Axe" Hennig, right? |

I remember reading something g about the E buying the rights to the bullet club name and New Japan uses a different name for the remaining Bullet Club members ( something Elite rings a bell) That was made up, Prowrestlingtees tweeted that it had been bought, but then later tweeted that they made that up The Elite does exist, but that is reserved for Omega and the Young Bucks. Fale, Tonga, Hall, the Japanese guy, and Loa are all still calling themselves the Bullet Club....Omega and Bucks too, they just have thier little subgroup |

Not to mention, he literally has "Axe" in his name. |

To be somewhat fair to them, didn't Karl Anderson and... Finn Balor? come up with the group/name/everything about it anyway. It might be a case of the guys asking WWE what they can get away with.

To many who watch only WWE, sure...McMahon will chase that dollar, no doubt about it.

But Axel Tischer used the "Axeman" nickname before Curtis Axel. |

I'm still shocked at how badly they went about with bringing them in. They had so many possibilities to launch them off to a huge status. They could have had them appear at Wrestlemania in some shape or form, they could have had them appear infront of the hottest and most educated crowd of the year on the Raw just one week prior, or even had them debut at Payback, have some sort of interaction with AJ. But no, they just have them come out, unbranded, in street clothes, to take out the Usos. Why on earth this couldn't have happened one week earlier on the Raw after Wrestlemania is beyond me, what a moment that could have been.

I don't understand some of yalls comments man... If they can get away with using "bullet club" why complain about it? Would you rather WWE just sign all the guys, re name them, and put them in a position that they have no idea what to do with them? Its BADASS that theyre capable of doing this. Stop whining  Your reading comprehension button is broken. WWE is considering ignoring an intellectual property right that New Japan owns by trying to snake their way around it, unnecessarily might I add. Maybe read the  ing thread before deciding to make a post complaining about complaining. I read just fine bytch. Im saying that theyre the WWE. Id take the name too if I was in charge, because why? I can. |

If they actually go through with having them together, I wouldn't be shocked if they go the Bulletproof Club route.

I could see Balor taking out Styles and forming the Bulletproof Balor club like on his shirts...
In some way you would have Reigns with them... and eventually you would see a Shield reunion and bulletproof split...
so you have Bulletproof - Balor club vs. Bulletproof - Shield

You think if you started a band and called it Metallica or The Beatles then you wouldn't get the crapsued out of you faster than you can blink? |

I'm sure WWE won't use it unless they can get rights to the name. If they don't, they can't make money off of it. And the whole point of owning a business, is to make money.

It just goes to show that Vince McMahon and the WWE is becoming Eric Bischoff and WCW of 20 years ago. We can't make a cool concept, so we will just steal it from another organization. Vince can't win. You complain if he changes something because he didn't create it but when he does decide to use something un associated with WWE you still blast him. |

I am just stating a fact that Vince is doing what Bischoff did 20 years ago. |
