More ominously, TMDK has been sending out posts on social media about \u201cgoing to war\u201d and \u201cgathering the troops.\u201d All of this going on while Damien Slater has been bickering with <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/05\/01\/robbie-eagles-career-overview-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Robbie Eagles<\/strong><\/a> and calling him out on Twitter, and Eagles, who is currently on tour with <strong>New Japan Pro Wrestling<\/strong> team <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonprowrestling.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/10\/08\/aussie-star-robbie-eagles-newest-member-of-bullet-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with his new partner<strong> Taiji Ishimori<\/strong><\/a>, has said in response to this that he \u201cmight need to have a chat with his new friends.\u201d With Broderick as a new member, and rumors of New Japan wanting to return for a second tour of Australia soon, it looks like we will see TMDK going at it with Eagles\u2019 new group, the <strong>Bullet Club OGs<\/strong>, on the next tour. With New Japan eyeing the Australian market more and more, this makes a lot of sense. Furthermore, TDMK did several matches against Bullet Club on the last Australian tour, so there\u2019s no reason not to do that stable war. And with Broderick now added to the mix, TMDK will have some heavy hitters on their hands. Look for Broderick to be catalyst for future feuds for this stable, and for TMDK to return more to the limelight of Australian wrestling, after taking a backseat for some time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WRESTLECLASH MATCH: Damian Slater vs. Mikey Broderick\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3KgHh-HUpyQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mighty Don\u2019t Kneel, or TMDK, the strongest and most enduring stable in Australia, has found a new member: Mikey Broderick.
