Wrestle Kingdom 10

This was a great collection of individual matches, the culmination of a great story and a crowning moment for Okada.  However, it is also a bad show.  Frankly, it is the Bullet Club.  They need to end.  Let me explain.

Great matches. I want to say that again. 

Skip the New Japan battle royal.  It doesn't matter.  The next match involves the Bullet Club members the Young Bucks and a title.  Cody Hall cheats and Bullet Club gains a title.  Second match involves the Bullet Club members Fale and Tanga and Takahashi and a new title.  Now we know Tanga's father is in the house, he was in the battle royal.  No cheating, and the Bullet Club loses.  Why the difference?  Then there is an ROH match on the card.  Cheating keeps the title on Lethal.  Moving on.  Bullet Club member Omega in a match to keep the title.  No cheating and Omega loses.  Next match involves Anderson and Gallows Bullet Club members escorted to the ring by Gallows's wife who is the current NWA Women's Champ.  No cheating and Gallows and Anderson lose the titles.  Why would the Women's world champ not help?  I don't know.  Another match no Bullet Club members, but cheating occurs.  This time the cheating fails.  Another title match no Bullet Club.  No cheating.  Good match.  Nakamura vs. Styles the leader of the Bullet Club.  No cheating and Styles fails to win the title.  Then you get the great main event.  No cheating in that by the way. 

So overall there is way too much cheating.  Way too much.  Especially for the biggest show of the year.  Three of eight matches involved cheating.  I don't mind breaking rules, but outside interference is over the top and should be kept to a minimum.  Still, I get it.  Bullet Club forever right?  Well, why don't they cheat every time?  They did to win the Jr. Tag Titles.  Why not cheat to win the Intercontinental Belt or to keep the Jr. Heavyweight title or to win the new titles?  There is no logic to it.  None. 

Also you can note in this that the Bullet Club lost when they did not cheat and won only when they did. 

New Japan does not need this.  As you can see from the Okada-Tanahashi main event they are just fine without it.  There are a lot of good wrestlers in this promotion.  And a lot in the Bullet Club.  Time to break up the band and let some of those guys fight each other now.  Styles does not need them to put on a great show or win.  Let Anderson and Gallows fight each other or go against the Young Bucks.  Plenty of stories in their break up.  But be done with this massive group that cheats, but then forgets to cheat too.
