Tama Tonga reveals the original name for Bullet Club before it got rejected

[@MrBoygiles]

I can barely recognize Tama without the beard, it’s crazy! Great interview.

[@pk_1]

He looks like uce!

[@maqclark]

Right? He looks 10 years younger!

[@AmRealityInc]

Word

[@orangemaniabrother2232]

He looks much older I don't know about younger lol

[@jamesdubeck4920]

I recognize him but he needs it back. Adds to his character. Even if he wants to be a face maybe have a goatee or something

[@theinfamousmrsleep]

Prince DeVitt: "Nick Book. Matt Book. The Young Books. We're BULLETCLOOB, and we're taking over"

[@A4Alie]

Know he sayed Nick bucks Matt bucks the Young bucks.

[@thecake6635]

Bullet Brigade sounds like a copyrighted version of Bullet Club.

[@agustin__]

The Bullet Experience

[@hgb0005]

That doesn't make sense

[@Mcrsh7]

he looks like caribbean dude version of dolph ziggler

[@jasondiend4248]

LOL Yeah does look like Tongan Dolph.

[@eastwaters4082]

*LOL, the comparison is uncanny.*

[@matt-san4160]

Agree 😂

[@fantastixfilms5372]

Polynesian dolph

[@AxeDharme]

I'm still mad we didn't get to the conclusion of the Civil War. It's like Tama won by forfeit

[@thecake6635]

Yeah, everything got retconned after The Elite left

[@grail68]

I mean... I feel like he literally did win by forfeit. He declared that the age of leaders was over. Then like 6 months later Jay White became leader. But there was a leaderless era. Still, it would have been respectful of the Elite guys to do the job for the OG guys on the way out.

[@SirSX3]

@@grail68 none of the Bullet Club leaders did the job for the next leader tho

[@barabusband]

I’d poop my pants if Tama just showed up out of the blue to challenge Cody for TNT Title and reignite the BC Elite fued.

[@jasondiend4248]

There really wasn't a Civil War. It was simple they booted The Elite and the beat down was so bad it took a couple months for the Elite to realize they were kicked out.

[@RuneRaged]

Holy crap, barely recognized Tama, he looks great

[@Chigen_Atomic]

That logo is so iconic.

[@Nfoster1916]

Tama seems like such a down to Earth type of guy. Still can't believe how clean he looks. I look forward to the full interview of this Chris.

[@nameredactedmessageretract7225]

I love that he just laughs when Chris asks about the OC.

[@johnnyzamora8190]

Bullet Brigade definitely sounds like a Japanese faction. Bullet Club sounds gritty and much more globally universal.

[@GodOfHalo]

Big fan of Tonga. NJPW has the best product on the planet.

[@AzraelDarkness64Gaming]

Agree

[@troyaturner1979]

This is gonna be so awesome CVV!! And his podcast is pretty damn solid too!

[@nameredactedmessageretract7225]

Now this is the interview I've been waiting for.

[@carterlevinstein8880]

Another sweet interview @Chris Van Vliet, keep up the great work.

[@Pikmii]

The name Bullet Brigade sounds like one Vince would've come up with in spite of BC's success.

[@CtKEngage]

I'm imaging a creative meeting with that term being used. God that's awful.

[@YourPalFry]

@@CtKEngage Not as bad as "The Club" tbh.

[@moonshinewizard]

What's a better name...... Bullet Brigade or The Club

[@ChrisVanVliet]

Awesome, thank you!

[@realjabroni3830]

Yoh! First! Excited for this interview. G.O.D. is one of my favorite Tag Teams.

[@weztheroadwarrior4849]

A good way to have a lot of members is to do what Los Ingobernables did and have the international faction.

[@OsOl0K0_ttv]

I could get behind Tama as World champ

[@rj5822]

Sure is better than Switchblade

[@vincentcorrado37]

Daaaaammmmmnnnnn, I can't wait for this Whole Shoot to Drop!!!!👆 Sweet 🤘Sweet !!!!!!

[@ezbb7699]

The true leader and The Heart & Soul of BC

[@HOA_Bossman]

I like relaxed tama, he’s a good dude

[@vernonhampton5863]

Tama Tonga without the beard man... different and requires getting used to. But people do forget that he was in the air force. But you know what, we forgive flyboy for it. Semper Fi.

[@CockyBalboa]

Jo Ka, did you just skip over the sentence before that?

[@vernonhampton5863]

@Jo Ka I know dude, you'll be alright.

[@terryosborne272]

I think Tama is so underrated and is a great Wrestler.

[@AxeDharme]

I knew this since I heard it on the Tama's Island podcast 🤘🏻😎 Bullet Parade and Bullet League was also considered

[@williammortel4283]

Whoow tama in your interview that's gona be awesome 😁😁😁😁😁😁 keep it coming and cant wait for the whole one on the 18th of august 😀😀😀😀😀

Tama Tonga!!! Ohh hell yeahh - Stone Cold Gonna loove this

[@SkeetabooTV]

Some people should never shave their beard. I’m one of them and so is Tama.

[@jahleele.johnson1664]

He has one of the cleanest cutters in the business

[@ethanholder573]

Another great vid Chris van vluh

[@donkeydrop]

BBB Bullet Club!!!!!....CVV...thats just .tooo sweeeeeeeet!

[@emerofficial4077]

noooooo keep the beard with the face paint... the coolest thing ever!!!

[@LTRUTH334]

I want to know is every each member of The Club still in the group chat like the Young Bucks said..

[@XxrandomexexX]

If they are there's 4 different "rival" companies in that group chat

[@XxrandomexexX]

@Jaedyn Rosemond oh yeah Marty completely forgot about him

[@gdn2705]

@Jaedyn Rosemond is Marty still contracted to ROH after the allegations that come out about him through that speaking out thing ?

[@TheSZeroInvencible]

@Jaedyn Rosemond Kazarian? I believe he was only a Storyline member

[@Alrucards]

@@gdn2705 gonna have to fill me in on what allegations against Scrull?

[@erikgrimaldo1187]

It's going to take a while when tama growing his beard back

[@LTRUTH334]

Exactly I didn't know who he is at first

[@daveyleeriot]

"What was your take on WWE's version of The Club?" Tama: 😂😂😂😂

[@KoolKive]

glad they stuck with bullet club

[@megaflux7144]

tama talks, i listen.

[@ThaMaskRapper]

Believe it or not their logo is so inspiring that I design my own logo the original logo for my business my company from myself and Luke Gallows approved

[@TheMrDwillison]

"Good Guy" Tama Tonga

[@lime_crisis]

Why does he pronounce Devitt like David lol

[@Bottera82]

TAMA LOOK MAD YOUNG

[@JoKiR90]

Tama looks like a Samoan Dolph Ziggler here. You can definitely see why they keep him quiet (short of making “YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI” noises). He’s got more charm and charisma in his pinky than Solo has in his entire robust body. Jacob’s another great talker with a tone of charisma too. Really happy for these guys. 👏

[@LogamusPrime]

2:29 From there

[@jasondiend4248]

Tama Tonga is one of my favorite wrestlers. He really needs to get a solo run. That is the only way he will improve as a solo star.

[@willn8664]

I wonder if Albert would have stayed instead of going to WWE, would he have been in BC.

[@moonshinewizard]

Most likely. I would like to see the alternative universe where that happend

[@naomibarnes4012]

I love Tamas laugh

[@killuminati3034]

Nicely done

[@Amazeme34]

My favorite Tama Tonga phrase "who is you?"

[@foreverforgiven1133]

I hope to see Tama in the ring again soon with the some too sweet face paint🤘

[@BuuhBlocks]

Why does it sound like he keeps saying prince David and not devitt lol. Am I missing something

[@brokenps2453]

English isn't his first language

[@SHINee001-r9x]

I Love Bullet Club 🖤🤘

[@SDG.12]

Kenny GOATmega changed the Club forever

[@thedudekev]

If anything he Made it terrible and just pushed the elite agenda. BC was ruined once omega took over

[@SDG.12]

@Kevin Elite agenda? Lmaooo the only reason Bullet Club became a worldwide thing is because of the mafches Omeva had with Naito and Tanahashi and others. Nothing Devitt or AJ ever did in NJPW ever came close to those matches. Bullet Club became the top merch seller worldwide when the Bucks and Kenny was at the helm. This is fact, not a debate. You're probably just a disgruntled WWE mark.

[@SDG.12]

@Kevin I hate ignorant marks like you

[@SDG.12]

Kenny = GOAT.

[@isaiandmattcoolkids6493]

It's crazy how Bullet Club has lasted this long. NWO thank you.

[@DCXCoorexDakarCoore]

[@ashleystevens6829]

[@abhinavt8674]

Tama Tonga with no beard.. wtf😳

[@jonpoon3896]

Potentially unpopular question. Would BC have been as big they didn’t exist in ROH or without BTE?

[@Alrucards]

In my opinion AJ Styles gave BC the star power it needed at the time to get people talking worldwide while BTE especially after Styles got excommunicated by Omega put a rocket ship too people's homes through merchandising the group.

[@mikeowens2210]

Damn he really seems legit though shame wwe has passed on him and G.O.D

[@moonshinewizard]

No it's not a shame. Vince and co. would have ruined G.O.D. Wwe has a garbage tag division that gets little to no love and attention and G.O.D. doesnt deserve that.

[@SimplyOffthechain]

1:21 it starts

[@btmz1753]

Tama is incorrect here. Ingobernables started in Mexico with la sombra

[@RVNT9OE]
