Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted April 5, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 5, 2016 Not very PG is it? Not with the gun problems they have over there. They might go with Balor Club and still use the 'Bulletproof' slogan on some of the merch.
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 5, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 5, 2016 Not very PG is it? Not with the gun problems they have over there. Are you kidding? I bet there would be massive crossover appeal just with ammosexuals buying Bullet Club shirts.
Keith Houchen Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 As a total newb to NXT, is it a weekly show or is it shown in blocks of episodes?
Keith Houchen Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Nice one! Thanks Dopper, think I'll be watching that from now on.
KingofSports Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Didn't Finn come up with the Bullet Club name ? Is there even a slim possibility they could use that name ? It's already been mentioned on commentary. I think New Japan own the rights to it & Bullet Club continues to exist there.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 5, 2016 Moderators Posted April 5, 2016 Sex Ferguson owns "Biz Cliz" and that's an awesome name. Should use that.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 5, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 5, 2016 They didnt even get any money off all those Bullet Club t-shirts they sold. And that shirt was one of the hottest shirt in wrestling for a good 18 months. New Japan totally fucked them on the trademark. Hence why Gallows trademark Biz Cliz, because they could officially sell Bullet Clubby-style shirts without having to deal with New Japan. TNA had their own version of the Bullet Club lined up as well, but all those shirts are sitting somewhere in a warehouse next to "free Nelson Madella" and "Arsenal 50 and not out" tees.
UK Kat Von D Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 It makes sense for New Japan to allow WWE to use the name for a percentage of merch sales. They can either get free money for not doing anything or say no and get nothing. WWE will just come up with something similar if they can't use the original name so New Japan have fuck all to lose and a nice bit of cash to gain. WWE aren't as bothered about renaming everyone as they used to be so its not entirely unrealistic. I'll still be surprised if they go that route though. All comes down to if both sides agree it's the best option financially

Dunno, Jeff Jarrett was charging loads for them from his merch table. The Turpin.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 5, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 5, 2016 I did say officially sell, though. Through places like ProWrestlingTees and stuff. Gallows has always got his re-print Bullet Club shirts at the gimmick. I imagine Jeff Jarrett is doing the same. He's not daft. Gallows is a very smart man. When he was in TNA, he said on his podcast that he went to a printing firm, illegally printed a bunch of Aces and Eights t-shirts and sold them on and netted all the profit.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 5, 2016 Moderators Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah, I know. Just having a pop at what he charged. Proper Memphis.
Undefeated Steak Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Nice one! Thanks Dopper, think I'll be watching that from now on. The weekly show can seem a bit slow at times (even though it's only an hour) but it's definitely worth sticking to as there's a decent amount of character development over the long run. Their big shows are almost all top class though. They're good enough to go back and enjoy out of context if you've got a bit of spare time.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted April 6, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 6, 2016 It's still dull as fuck most weeks. I come out of the Takeover specials pumped for it and two weeks later I'm back to just reading the thread on here to see if there's owt worth watching. And there generally isn't. If I can get into the same habit with Raw, I think I'd love WWE even more than I do.
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted April 7, 2016 Paid Members Posted April 7, 2016 The episode before Takeover was great. Just basically a whole bunch of squash matches. Hour flew by.
