Dave Meltzer on the Behind the Scene Booking Decisons of the Bullet Club Angle

[Big Red Machine]

There is also the issue of so much of ROH booking being controlled by New Japan. While there is give-and-take, in the end, New Japan owns and controls Bullet Club, even though they are positioned as the leading faction in ROH.

New Japan’s booking philosophy, where wins and losses are important and top guys only lose when it’s necessary for storytelling means that certain guys aren’t going to lose singles matches on ROH shows. It was New Japan’s decision have Adam Cole and Adam Page join The Bullet Club on shows they were involved with, and both will be working Japan as part of the club, both starting this summer.

The other members of The Bullet Club were the ones who made the suggestion for Cole. Primarily The Young Bucks asked and pushed for it. Matt Jackson was one of the key people as far as the design and layout of the angle at the end of the PPV. Cole makes sense since Bullet Club lost key people and with Kenny Omega moving to heavyweight, there was a spot open for a singles junior heavyweight. Page was a surprise. ROH has tried to elevate him from being a nobody, but it’s not like he caught on in a big way with the fan base. It was almost like one of those NWO additions that felt like it weakened the concept. But ultimately, Page was a New Japan call and had already been booked as part of the group on an upcoming tour, and it was Gedo who wanted him there.

This should surprise no one. It also cements my theory that Bucks have either no desire or no knowledge to be heels. Either that or they are purposely trying to be "cool heels" which are a scourge upon the wrestling business.
