History Wrestling / BlackpoolCombatClub

** Wrestling/TheElite, with them even attacking anyone even remotely associated with them, with Bryan Danielson especially declaring the BCC as the only real professional wrestlers around, and that everyone else are amateurs.

** Wrestling/AdamPage and Wrestling/TheDarkOrder which cultivate in the BCC turning heel after Moxley and Hangman's feud worsen.

** To Wrestling/TheShield, Moxley's previous faction in the WWE. While both factions are known for their NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, the Shield was mostly a closely-knit team (until a certain betrayal) while the BCC was initially formed by two bitter rivals held together by a very influential man. Furthermore, the BCC is a heroic faction while the Shield started out as heels. In comparison to Moxley/Ambrose's role in both factions, he is clearly the face of the BCC, in contrast to his time in the Shield where Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were favored over him.

* AxCrazy: At their best, they'll needlessly brutalize other wrestlers at risk of hospitalizing them. At their worst, they'll outright maim their adversaries, even being willing to gouge their foes' eyes out.

** Bryan Danielson, who was not present at the show, would follow suit on the 3/29/2023 episode of ''Dynamite'', when the BCC ambushed Wrestling/KennyOmega after his IWGP United States Championship match. Danielson would show up appearing to save Kenny...only to assault him with a Busaiku Knee and assist the group in assaulting him.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed with Bryan Danielson. While he's not villainous per se (more arrogant and haughty than evil), he's the only member of the group that's outright heel, as he makes his entrance through the left tunnel on the stage, which is typically reserved for heels.

* DarkIsNotEvil: They wear predominantly black and red gear and can be incredibly ruthless and aggressive in the ring, but they have routinely opposed the Jericho Appreciation Society, who are outright heels.

* PowerStable: A non-villainous example (before early 2023).

* AntiHero: The team has fought both face (which include Yuta's former Best Friends teammates) and heel teams with the same level of brutality but are nevertheless tweeners whose main feuds are with the Wrestling/JerichoAppreciationSociety and Wrestling/SuzukiGun.

* PowerStable: A non-villainous example.

** The Manager: William Regal

At the time of this writing, Moxley is a former three-time AEW World Champion, Castagnoli is a two-time and current Wrestling/RingOfHonor World Champion and Yuta is a two-time and current ROH Pure Champion.

* FaceHeelTurn: On the 3/8/23 episode of Dynamite, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli defeated John Silver and Alex Reynolds of Wrestling/TheDarkOrder in a tag team match. They viciously attacked them after the match and assaulted Evil Uno and "Hangman" Adam Page (who had defeated Moxley in a Texas Death match at ''Revolution 2023''). This consequently turned the entire group heel.

* TokenGoodTeammate: While the BCC is far from evil, Claudio Castagnoli is the only member of the group who is an unequivocal babyface.

** Wrestling/AdamPage after Moxley concussed him in a match in late November.

* ArchEnemy: When Moxley decided to help his buddy, Wrestling/EddieKingston, against the Wrestling/JerichoAppreciationSociety, the entire BCC have his back. Both factions have fought in an Anarchy in the Arena match (in which the JAS won) and a Blood and Guts match (in which the BCC won) that turned every members of both factions into raw meat and yet the feud is nowhere near to an end.

The Blackpool Combat Club is a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable currently appearing on Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, comprised of Wrestling/JonMoxley, Wrestling/BryanDanielson, Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Wrestling/WilliamRegal.

The group would later gain two additional members: Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. Yuta broke away from the group Best Friends when he expressed a desire to join the BCC, resulting in a series of matches against Moxley that ultimately earned him not only the group's respect, but also formally inducted him to their ranks. Castagnoli made his AEW debut at the pay-per-view, ''Forbidden Door'', as Danielson's surprise replacement in a match against Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling's Wrestling/ZackSabreJr.

** If a wrestler can prove themselves by fighting its members in the ring to such a notable degree, they'll not only earn the Club's respect, but they might even earn a spot on their roster.
** After several matches against Bryan Danielson, Daniel Garcia has earned the respect of nearly half of the BCC. This is notable when not only Wheeler Yuta isn't upset when Garcia defeated him for the ROH Pure Championship and even shook hands with him, Danielson himself offered to put the title around Garcia's waist.

** They are one to the Jericho Appreciation Society. Both factions were founded at a similar time, but while the BCC is focused on promoting serious wrestling, the JAS desires to put sports entertainment first, an obvious counterpoint which resulted in Regal's fight camp coming to blows with Jericho's gang of entertainers in short order.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: The faction's M.O. during a tag team match - each one of them will hold one of their opponents in an abdominal stretch and elbow their heads simultaneously (Danielson, however, holds his target's wrists in a surfboard stretch while stomping on their head).

The group would later gain two additional members: Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli.
