Devitt forming the faction also led to him winning the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship. But more importantly, Devitt's run with the group also saw him get shots at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, which back in the day was quite rare for a Jr. Heavyweight wrestler.
In fact, Devitt also competed in the G1 Climax and shared the ring with the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Katsuyori Shibata. Some of the best heavyweight wrestlers in NJPW history.

During his time with the group, the Irishman had a completely different aura. The former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion tormented reporters backstage with The Bullet Club. Devitt also wasn't shy about holding back in press conferences, as he cussed out at almost everybody.
One should look no further than Prince Devitt's version of The Bullet Club when it comes to proper heel groups in professional wrestling.
