You can't have a pure heart if you want to join the Bullet Club War Dogs.
The faction currently consists of some of NJPW's top heels like David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, and Drilla Moloney. Throughout 2024, the group has continued to establish themselves by holding a lot of gold. As of publish time, David Finlay is the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, Gabe Kidd is the NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, and the duo of Connors and Moloney hold the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships.
When asked about potentially adding more members to the group, David Finlay couldn't think of anybody that would be a good fit.
"Nobody really comes to mind, to be completely honest with you." Finlay said in a new interview with Fightful. "There was a little bit there where I wondered if Shota Umino would benefit from being a War Dog, but his heart is still too pure. He still believes the lie. Bolton Oleg ranked fifth in the world for freestyle wrestling. An actual killer from Kazakhstan. I kind of unofficially extended an offer to him when he was ready for it during the G1. But again, his heart is too pure. I don't think he's going to take me up on it, but outside of that, the War Dogs is pretty stacked. New Japan is pretty stacked. We have all the talent we need in-house. So I don't think we need to look to outside for that."
Elsewhere in the interview, Finlay reflected on making his AEW debut in 2022. Learn more about those comments here.
