Bullet Club. Vigilante Club. Villain Club. The Elite. For hardcore wrestling fans, knowing what these names mean and how they interconnect is a source of pride.

What makes it different from other wrestling factions? Why does everyone want to be a part of it? And how did it manage to become so successful that the group’s merchandise takes up entire sections of Hot Topic?
