Glad to hear how great Silas Young and KUSHIDA was. Out of all the matches announced for this whole tour, that's the one that intrigued me the most. I'd love to see a full-fledged Silas vs. Japan feud, the New Japan roster seems perfect to beef with the "Last Real Man" character perfectly.

I'd like to say something about the Bullet Club. I think some people on the board forget that our fandom is so deep that obviously we are all aware the BC has been around for like over 3 years now and when you compare them as a stable to the nWo, I can fully understand how some people think it is just watered down and has overstayed its welcome. It seemed like a good amount of people were upset with the end of the PPV last week because the BC is being shoved down the viewer's throat.
However, I think what is being missed is that I honestly don't think the Bullet Club has ever properly been given a United States platform. You currently have the WWE alluding to "The Club" but with only 3 members. The BC has loosely been a part of ROH for the past few years but not a major focal point. (not talking about individual members but more the concept of a huge stable). I don't know if we all agree on this or not but I'd say the concept of the Bullet Club is/was really cool. I'm 30 years old and to see a giant group of wrestlers throwing up the too sweets and suck its, with a t shirt design that has the chance to be iconic and even a pretty sweet theme song for the group (shot 'em). It was and maybe still is the hottest thing in wrestling that is not WWE. I only have a handful of friends who know who the BC is but we all love the idea because its a throwback to the nWo/DX with some new elements added. I know the Bucks are polarizing but I love them, I think they make wrestling fun. It's fun to throw up a too sweet with your buddies and do a Young Bucks pose for a picture.
Anyway, I guess my point is I think that the Bullet Club could have/maybe still can be a thing that could pull people who soured on wrestling after the Attitude Era to come back. They just never had a US platform to really be showcased on. So if they are going to be a focal point on ROH now, I think it is almost more for new fans to get a look. Some of my friends who gave up on wrestling are not going to go seek out and watch Japanese wrestling. However, if it is on US tv and I can recommend they DVR the show or something like that, it's more accessible and knowing them and what they used to like I can see them getting a kick out of the BC and hopefully sticking around for everything else. I hope my point comes across in the post because I know what I'm trying to say, just don't know if its coming through properly..

See my thing is not the 'watered down' aspect. It's more that I never found it cool in the first place so seeing it all over now is like 'Well that stinks'. I hate "I'm just doing this to pop the boys" stuff so DX and the nWo didn't appeal to me at any point. Seeing a mix of the two with less talent is not something I was ever going to be a fan of. It just all seems suuuuuuuuper lame to me.

My biggest problem with the Bullet Club has been the almost cartoonish level of Flanderization they've undergone since The Bucks joined, which only grew worse after Finn left. They were originally a gang of bad motherf***ers, basically terrorists in New Japan, who f***ed everyone up and did whatever the f*** they wanted. It just got more and more "meta" and dumb over time, even as a guy who loves TYB and 2Sweet-ing. It's just dumb. They're goofs.

Any idea when the 5/11 show will be put up on VOD? They went straight from 5/9 to 5/14.
