Which is the worst faction in WWE history?

[HBsam31]

I agree that The Corre is one of the worst. They never really got over, and it seemed like they were jobbing all the time. The Truth Commission is another good one. Not even sure who the other two were. I remember Kurrgen and The Jackyl. They faded out very fast. The worst to me though was the oddities. The only good one was Golga who I believe was John Tenta correct me if I am wrong. The rest of it was just creepy and complete comedy joke. They just were not a personal favorite of mine by any means.

Easy the CTC they were horrible and only appeared a few times and we all knew Cena had no street cred and a faction would only hold him back. It was doomed from the start

 

[ChrisNutter]

Mean Street Posse without a doubt was the worst Faction in WWE history, they were all poor performers in the ring as shown at Survivor Series when they teamed with the Bulldog and just looked terrible in the ring. None of them could work a decent match.

 

[playboy210]

with out a doubt mean street posse, right to censor, the job squad, or the B.W.O.... mean street posse did absoulutley nothing but bring as a guy named pete gas. Right to censor was just annoying and are to difest that the Godfather was even a member. the J.o.B. squad? A bunch of jobbers banding together in hopes of being.... well a bunch of jobbers so i guess they were succesful.B.W.O.!? Really? was never a fan of blue meanie and the whole i dead was just aweful! so the award would have to go to the Mean street posse! one man in slacks and a sweater vest is just as bad as 3!

 

[Matisyahu]

worst faction to me was Disgruntled Jim Ross with the New Razor Ramon and Diesel. For the life of me, I just cant understand why they thought this was a good idea.

honorable mention goes to Jim Cornettes New NWA consisting of the New Blackjacks Bradshaw and Windham and Dan "The Beast" Severn

Some of the remarks on here are clearly not well thought of, and slightly 'im picking this faction and giving this half arsed-reason-without-really-thinking-it-through'

Picking the R.t.C because they were 'annoying' - really? that was the point of the group. the complete antagonists to the end of an attitude era. These guys were awesome at what they did. There was no huge and over star in this group, instead a selection of equals with a joint purpose. The fans hated them and their music was a droning alarm. clever stuff.

The Corre/Nexus REALLY need to play on the fact and storyline more of Barrett being ousted for Punk (although, he didn't really last too long with the Nexus, which is good!) Other than that, totally agree with a lot of comments regarding Barrett losing was too much momentum.. HOWEVER - the 'Barrett tweet' regarding the Corre being a mistake clearly STORYLINE nonsense to add fuel to the fire of him being better than everyone else. Logically, Barrett seems like an intelectual guy, do you really think he'd break kayfabe and blast the writers over twitter when he's just returned into a push?

Mean Street Posse - they were Shane's boys. I hated these guys, but i was meant to.. they were the cronies of the bosses son. They were never going to have long tenures in the WWF/E, but they did what they were meant to.

DX, Evolution and The Nexus (at least, for their initial appearence, before they became dog food for super-cena) should not be on that list.

As for the worst - its a toss up between X-Factor (honestly cant remember seeing these not on WWF-Heat.. and living up to X-Pacs delusional hype) and PMS - poor distasteful name (Russo?!), and well, poor gimmick idea too.. the only one i really couldnt get my head around why they were actually about!

 

[MrGameTime]

How in gods name can you even have dx and evoultion as poll options seriously..... As long as the stable created heat in someway one could deem it sucessful... The fans truly hated RTC they were an awesome heel fraction... Like comming down and covering up the divas to await the male audiences reaction of pure HATE lol.

I would go with the core or nexus no one really REALLY gave two shits about them, you just put up with it because theres nothing better.

 

[Honkey_Kong]

Nobody mentioned The Brood. I know some people are going to frown on this one, but let's face it, this faction wasn't going to go anywhere, they were led by a midcarder, Gangrel (who's career highlight was jobbing to Undertaker). Edge and Christian ended up being somebodies, but it wasn't because of this faction. In fact, because it had parallels to The Ministry, they just had them annexed.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

The Union. If I remember correctly they even had saying that spelled out the word FUCK. So much potential wasted. I think it lasted less than a month. Foley had them coming out like they would take the WWE over and it just disappeared with no ending or mention (I think). It was like Vince remembered he was a Republican and didn't want a group of faces running around looking strong with "The Union" label slapped on them.

At least the Corre had a bit of a run and an ending. The Union were not do properly disposed of.

 

[Mustang Sally]

In my opinion Nexus and Corre were the worst. Nexus was a bunch of nobodies and got nowhere leaving Wade Barrett who is much better as a singles wrestler.

I'm surprised to see that written about Nexus. The whole point of their existence was their initial anonymity, a group of rookies intent on making their point with numbers. Do you remember the movie "The Warriors?" There was a gang from the Bronx named "Orphans." They were a bunch of wimps, but the Warriors knew they couldn't fight the Orphans because of the sheer number of guys in the gang. This was the same concept as Nexus, in which a coordinated effort from seven guys forced even John Cena to run from the ring to save himself. Their existence forced heels like Chris Jericho to join forces with Cena in order to save themselves. I thought Nexus was a brilliant idea......and well-executed.

For the opposite reasons, the Corre was the worst idea. For one thing, the Nexus concept had run it's course and I was grateful to see the group disband.....it's time had come. The idea of WWE switching the group to Smackdown and re-forming them with an abbreviated membership and new name was uninspired and tiresome. Wade was still Wade, but he plainly needed to move on. So did the others, and look at how all of them except Tarver are still around.

The Corre should never have come into being.

 

[aza1294]

I think the Corre takes it for me. When they first appeared I had my hopes up for a faction rivalry between them and Nexus, but instead the WWE decided for them to just be an awful version of the Nexus. In my opinion it was just Wade having to carry the whole group and was one of the biggest flops when it came to factions

 

[THTRobtaylor]

Some pretty shocking ones over the years - Corre in itself wasn't bad, just very poorly booked against Nexus.

My worst ones are:-

The Union - Utterly pointless and the fact it disappeared within a month shows how bad it was.

X-Factor - From the crappy music to the total lack of anything approaching being watchable, this is something I bet Albert/Tensai regrets bitterly.

The Million Dollar Corporation - Ted DiBiase's faction was just brutally bad, putting rejects and jobbers together killed any chance of it working. The writing was on the wall when Tatanka's turn went down like a mild fart. Had it been Luger, it would have worked, cos the whole premise was "everyone has a price" except Lex Luger...

Billy/Chuck/Rico - This group totally pissed me off, not only was it pretty offensive as a stereotypical "gay" gimmick, but it totally wasted one of the better talents to come down the pipe in the last 15 years. Rico was an excellent worker who quite rightfully got disheartened and returned to being a cop after being made to be part of this crap.

The worst ever though:-

Thuggin' & Buggin' Enterprises:- Teddy Long, Rodney Mack, Mark Henry, Jacqueline all moaning about how "whitey" held them down. No Mr. Mack, you were held down cos you were crap.

 

[anvilx8]

out of those choices, definitley Corre. They did NOTHING...But I'd also add to that list 'Legacy'.

On a side note, WHY is evolution on that poll? That was a great stable

 

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

RTC and the Posse were hilarious factions. Both had the best music ever as well.

Okay for me it comes down to the Spirit Squadjust really really lame and I actually stopped watching around the point they were dicking around.

 

[SharpShooter083]

Easy...The Truth Commission is hands down the worst faction ever in the WWE. People can say The Oddities (which isn't far off) but at least The Oddities were somewhat over thanks to ICP and the South Park shirts Golga wore. Truth Commission was NEVER over nor did anyone from that stable do anything in WWE after they disbanned (except Kurrgan).

 

[#tamale]

Corporate Ministry.

Corporate Ministry was just "let's throw a swerve for the sake of a swerve". Mr. McMahon (the character) is a prick, not Satan himself. That was supposed to be Undertaker.

 

[Code Red]

For sure, X-Factor. No group received more "Go Away" heat than they did (although Right To Censor came pretty close). From the composition of its members, to the rubbish Uncle Kracker music, everyone hated this group just as the theme suggested, but for all the wrong reasons.

 

[zones.]

can i jump the gun and say 'Encore'? i dont see heath slater and jinder mahal making 2/3rds of ANY stable anything close to interesting. i mean dont get me wrong, slater is somewhat funny, but of the old Nexus guys, Gabriel is the only member currently in limbo that i feel has any remaining star power... on top of that, mahal just seems like such a rerun. and, to be fair, Drew Mac seems to fail time after time.

 

[Rayne]

The fact that DX, Nexus, and Evolution are listed in the poll possibilities renders this poll pretty silly. One was the lead faction during the WWF's return to dominance in the late '90s. One was one of the few plotlines that actually made people go "OMG" for once in a rare while. One set up two performers as future WrestleMania headliners.

There were so many no-name stables in the '90s that you can take your pick. Los Barriquas? (sp) The Truth Commission? The Oddities? The JOB Squad? For a while, they were just throwing people together for the silliest of reasons. Hey, we've got four people who look Hispanic? Make 'em a stable. Hey, we've got some biker costumes left over in wardrobe? Make a stable out of it.

 

[The Great King]

X-Factor is by far the worst faction is wrestling history, unlike groups like the Mean Street Posse this was a group that was supposed to be serious by nobody cared about them, but somebody in the back loved X-Pac and kept it going for a lot longer than it should have gone. (It should have only gone for about 3 weeks.)

 

[willdefrangesco]

Whoever voted DX is obviously not a fan, they were one of the biggest things in the 90's and, in my opinion, one of the reasons Attitude did so well.

 

[Wrestlefan73]

The J.O.B. Squad by far! Just the name alone. They were jobbers! Al Snow as the leader? Then throw in 2 Cold Scorpio right after his Flash Funk gimmick ended and Bob Holley before he was "Hardcore" when he was the goofy buck toothed mullet haired Southern Racecar driver, Sparky Plugg!

 

[shooter_mcgavin]

Picking the R.t.C because they were 'annoying' - really? that was the point of the group. the complete antagonists to the end of an attitude era. These guys were awesome at what they did. There was no huge and over star in this group, instead a selection of equals with a joint purpose. The fans hated them and their music was a droning alarm. clever stuff.

Sure RTC might sound like a bad idea but remember they were formed at the height of the Attitude Era which there was a lot of raunchy content so having a group trying to sensor all this was a great way to piss off the fans. Sure they were not a major faction but they served their purpose.

Plus who didn't like the irony that The Godfather (previously with a Pimp Gimmick) and Val Venis (a porn star) joining the team. Also it gave Stevie Richards a role in the WWE. And he was great in the mic as well as Ivory who had a decent feud with Lita.

 

[Azane]

Right to Censor was on my mind before I saw the list, at least in recent memory, I remember actually turning off my TV when their music hit a couple times.

Bull Buchanan was such a nobody at the time, he had no business being there, and then the Goodfather and Val Venis.... I don't like when characters 180 that hard, Face/Heel dynamics, they both played both sides in character, but their RTC characters just really confuzzled me, and I didn't like it at all (I can kind of respect what they were going for). Not to mention Ivory felt so random in there.

Steven Richards has always been forgettable to me, he always is just there, had to scroll back up to remember he was the founder.

Not only was it.... an annoying gimmick (I tend to dislike the holier than though heels) but it destroyed a couple of the more interesting attitude characters, right on the tail end of attitude. Even though they "accomplished" their goal, I don't think it was a net positive on viewership, they weren't compelling enough to draw, and they generated annoyance heat with no pay off, which just turns televisions off.

 

[d_henderson1810]

Do you notice that most of the factions named were around in the "Attitude Era"?

You see what I have been saying about that not everything about the "Attitude Era" was great, or even good.

A bad faction that I am surprised that no-one has mentioned, is one I can't even remember the stable's name, that how much it sucked. It consisted of John Cena when he was "Doctor Of Thuganomics", B2 (Bull Buchanan) and Redd Dogg (Rodney Mack). They were meant to be homies, but it sucked. And this was when Cena was more popular than he is now.

Do anyone remember this stable, or what they were called?
