Top NJPW star David Finlay spoke with Fightful on a number of topics related to pro wrestling, including why Shota Umino can’t be a member of the Bullet Club War Dogs, although he Umino could be a member at one point.
Finlay said, “Nobody really comes to mind, to be completely honest with you. 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.”
“Boltin 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.”
