On the new episode of the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast (Episode 009) which you can check out by clicking HERE, “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson discusses a number of topics, including the success enjoyed by NJPW’s Bullet Club and comparisons to the NWO.
“First off, we were just doing whatever we wanted to do and to see if we’d get in trouble for it with the front office—which we didn’t,” said Anderson. “We grew up watching…we loved the NWO. Scott Hall—I put over Scott Hall all of the time on Twitter—and he has kind of blessed us to do it… They paved the way for us to do what we’re doing.”
Anderson said he didn’t worry too much about the future of Bullet Club when Prince Devitt left NJPW, ultimately becoming NXT’s Finn Balor.
“People have asked me about that before and and I wasn’t worried…” he said. “I knew AJ was coming in and right before Ferg (Devitt) had left, they’d just made us those sweet shirts with the black and white and the bones and those things were selling like crazy. I think those might have gotten us over more than anything in Japan because it was just a cool-ass t-shirt… But I wasn’t panicked when Ferg was leaving. I think he’s one of the best wrestlers in the world. He’s one of my best friends. He’s awesome. But I knew we’d be fine.”
