Bullet Club is one of the most influential and arguably, most famous professional wrestling stable in the last few years. So people asked who would fill the voids created by AJ Styles, Doc, now Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson. That answer came in the form of Adam Cole.
Cole, the former Ring of Honor World Champion, recently had an interview with Rolling Stone where he talked about joining the famous stable.
"I was just ecstatic when I first heard," Cole said. "The Bullet Club is, by far, the most influential faction in pro wrestling in years. If for no other reason, you’re seeing in the influence in WWE. They were dominant in New Japan, and got more eyes on the New Japan product from America. Just look at who has been in Bullet Club, and whose shoes I have to fill. I was intimidated, I was excited, but it’s going to be a really positive thing for my career going forward. I’m still stoked thinking about it."
When asked whether or not Cole felt any pressure having to replace the aforementioned Styles, Gallows and Anderson, who left New Japan Pro Wrestling for WWE earlier in the year, Cole said that replacing those guys carries a lot of pressure.
"Definitely," Cole said. "Those guys are incredible. The cool thing about that though, is that it forces me to be different and find something different about my involvement with the Bullet Club so that I’m not just like them. Of course the people in the Bullet Club will have similarities, and always will, but finding what I can do as Adam Cole to be different is important. And I’ve noticed that it’s pretty much just me being myself, and I’m much different than AJ Styles. We bring what we bring to the table, so this will be a cool new chapter for the Bullet Club."
