Worst Stable Ever?

[PayneKiller79]

I thought The Truth Commission worked better with The Jackyl and not The Commadant, or whatever his name was. They were kinda cool. Kurgan was better as a heel. But in that vein, The Oddities comes to mind. It was really nothing more than a comedy act. How can you have Kurgan dancing and the late, great John Tenta carrying around a Cartman doll and call that entertaining? They were a terrible stable. I also have to agree about The Right To Censor. It was a great bunch of talent, but VERY under-rated. The heat they drew was tremendous. What was started off as a mock of the censors turned into something that got over with the fans, and like most promoters always do, when something is VERY over, they yank it out from under us. One other one would have to be any incarnation of the NWO other than the original black and white. It was almost as if WCW were trying to beat a dead horse into the ground to make more money of it.

As an aside, wasn't Mysterio and Master P called The Filthy Animals?

 

[Spillz3000]

Master P, Mysterio, and Konnan were just the No Limit Soldiers(I think they had one more dude in it). The Filthy Animals was Eddie Guerrero, Konnan, Rey Mysterio, and Billy Kidman(Juvi I believe was introduced into it later, haha so was Torrie Wilson). IMO I think the Filthy Animals was a good stable. They had the perfect counterpart to warring with Revolution(Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas, and Chris Benoit). But the No Limit Soldiers was garbage.

Oh about X-Factor, somebody was wondering how they were broken up. Well a little something called The Invasion happened and probably I believe the 2nd week of it Credible turned on X-Pac and Albert to join up with the ECW side of the Alliance. But who knows what could have happened to that stable. At one time X-Pac held the Lightweight and Albert was holding the IC Championship.

Back to Legacy(sorry guys). I think they would benefit from having their own fueds along with helping Orton in his. You see the difference in Legacy that makes them inferior to the 4 Horsemen and Evolution is the fact that those stables were all for one and one for all. Back in the Horsemen heyday you would see Ric Flair attack Arn, Tully, or Ole/Windham's opponents as often as you would see the rest of the Horsemen take out Flair's opponent. In Evolution it was the same thing. Triple H mixed it up with Orton's, Batista's, and Flair's opponents as much as they mixed with his. Legacy's problem is that Orton is outspoken of not caring about anything but himself and pretty much admits to them being Lackeys which defeats the purpose of a stable. Your suppose to be a group working together for a common purpose and watching each other's back. I wouldn't mind a fourth member but it seems like Vince has this stable on life support.

 

[info62]

Legacy is extremely boring because they caused so many main events of RAW to be nearly identical (Orton/Rhodes/Dibiase vs variation of Shane/Batista/Cena), and of course because of Rhodes/Dibiase being nothing but jobbers while Orton continued his very stale feud with Triple H. I don't think it's the worst stable ever though, since Rhodes and Dibiase are finally setting an actual goal for themselves in obtaining the unified tag titles rather than seeming to be content with being Orton's bitches. I also believe one of them turning on Orton (the likely one being Ted since he's got a dvd coming out soon) could be effective if built well, so I haven't given up on them yet.

Now one stable I'm very surprised hasn't been mentioned is the Spirit Squad. The whole thing was pointless - it basically just existed so all the members could literally be sent to OVW to receive repackaged gimmicks. All except for Kenny anyway, who was released in November. The only one left is Dolph, and since he's abandoned the 'Nikki' name, it's not like his tag title reign during the time of the spirit squad will be recognized in the wwe. Absolutely pointless.

I don't understand the bashing of La Familia though. Sure Bam Neely may not be in wwe anymore, but would he really have achieved anything better had he not been included in the stable? Being Chavo's crappy bodyguard was the best thing that could have happened to the guy. The whole purpose of La Familia was to further interest in the upcoming Taker/Edge WM 24 match. In my opinion anyway, it did that. La Familia is nowhere near one of the worst stables ever.

As an aside, wasn't Mysterio and Master P called The Filthy Animals?

There were others in that group too, like Juventud Gurerrera and Konnan I believe.

 

[Shadowstorm220]

First off, in order to have a stable, you need to have at least three members. Teams like the Heartthrobs are not a stable. Same goes with Billy & Chuck. Those are tag teams.

As far as my worst stable of all time, the Dungeon of Doom ranks up there, but only because of their leader being an idiot (Sullivan), and way too many people.

Right to Censor was a very good stable with a leader who was great on the mic, but a jobber.

X-Factor was horrible but never had time to develop.

The second version of Team Angle was piss poor. The first "Team Angle" with the World's Greatest Tag Team was an excellent group.

The Ministry and Corporate Ministry were not that great, but it's because of who was in it. Edge & Christian were not made for that.

JBL's stable was probably the worst in the last five years. The one with Orlando Jordan and two others I cannot remember.

 

[Tenta]

I know it's been talked about but I don't know if there has ever been a thread dedicated to just how useless Legacy is.

There have been, and this is fairly unoriginal, but you happen to be right here, so let's do it.

I look at the great stables. The Four Horsemen. Four guys dominating the landscape with all the major titles in tow terrorizing the faces.

Uh huh.... That's right/ Four established stars. Four stars that, before the group even began, were very well known by the fans. Arn and Ole were the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. Tully was a well known wrestler, and viable contender for The US Title. And there'e Ric Flair. Meanwhile, you have Legacy; one star, and two veritable rookies. Isn't the comparison between the Horsemen and Legacy a bit extreme given the circumstances?

A lot of stables have at some point dominated the main event scene. The Hart Foundation Bret had the WWE title Owen and Bulldog the tag titles not to mention the European and IC.

Yep, there's those established stars again. Damn them and their rightfully taking titles due to them being established characters! You got me there, I suppose.

Evolution had gold on ever waist and it seemed every member was a threat.

Yeah, each member had two or three years in WWE before Evolution. Remember Deacon Batista, anyone? Or Face Randy Orton? Sorry, these men were not rookies, being placed out there for all to witness.

With Legacy you have Randy Orton who has had some of the worst booked title reigns in recent history and two almost worthless sychophants who do nothing occasionally beat mid carders and get fed to Batista, Mark Henry, John Cena etc.

You mean it's really believable to watch either of these men beat the wrestlers you've just mentioned?

Wow. I got a Billy Kidman VS. Hulk Hogan match in my basement. You'd love it. Neophytes beating stars for no apparent build up. You'd love it, I swear.

I'm not sure i really understood the points of your ramblings. So I'll put it like this... It's called a "slow build". I'll bet you're a fan of Vince Russo, eh? Because it seems you have no clue what the term means.

Give them a little more than a year, and then we can talk.

 

[PayneKiller79]

I think the others in JBL's stable--The Cabinet--were the Basham Brothers, Doug and Danny. A somewhat decent tag team in my opinion. Wonder what would have happened with them in TNA had they been given a chance? But that could be a another topic in itself.

 

[Total Impact]

Worst Stable of all time would have to go to Dungeon Of Doom. Hell that episode of Saturday Night when Hulk Hogan entered the Dungeon had to be the worst thing ever created in pro wrestling since Hunter humped a plastic doll and I’m not talking about Chyna or Steph.

Legacy may go down as being the most stable with fan hype to be a big let down. I think the problem with legacy is that Orton should have never been part of the stable. The idea in my head was these second/third generation wrestlers coming together to bring the WWE down and take over and one of them being champion, young and in your face and Orton just killed that and now the stable just gets their ass beat each week. Cool theme music, but crappy storylines. They need to break away from Orton’s storylines and focus on other matters. Also get a fourth member, get an real enforcer and maybe Ted & Cody can take a break from being on their backs.

 

[xN Starksx]

Why are people so quick to say Legacy is a dud or the worst stable ever? They haven't even been a stable for very long. Seriously people, give it some time before you label them as the worst. Slow builds are a good thing.

But, to go with the post .. To me, one of the worst and probably the most pointless stable/faction was the Mexicools. They appeared out of no where. No hype for them really, what so ever and were the lawnmowers necessary? Really? Granted, I was never really a big fan of the Juvi or really the rest of 'em for that matter, but the team could have been better. So, they get my vote for the worst stable, ever.

 

[Doctor Demise]

Well, ever since i heard the news about the formation of Legacy i promised myself that i would be patient and expect less especially with the politics in WWE. But after a few months i have to say that i'm now sick and tired of waiting... i want to see them on a roll and finally dominate the RAW locker room. Yes, this group has so much potential and it sucks seeing it get wasted week after week. PLEASE GIVE THEM THE PUSH THAT THEY DESERVE.

I think Jack Swagger joining them could really help...

But if the WWE, VKM in patricualr, still prefers to stay in the safe zone and continue power tripping, then we just have to kiss this group goodbye...

Thanks for the memories Legacy... (if there were any)



Hmmm... i have to agree with the above post... The Mexicools was a truly horrible faction.

 

[CJGV1]

there are soooo many awful stables so i shall name a few for my own enjoyment!

mean street posse. they were bigger jobbers than the job squad! although i had a soft spot for them they were awful.

the los boricquas (cant spell it) and the D.O.A. were also two of the most boring stables ever. with two of the most boring leaders ever.

also the the oddities and truth comission. anything with kurrgan is awful.

x-factor. nobody liked x-pac. not even his stablemates. purely remembered for their campy music.

but the worst? Misfits in Action. the name says it all. tylene bucks fake tits couldnt keep that group of hapless wrestlers afloat!

 

[shafe_41]

Why are people so quick to say Legacy is a dud or the worst stable ever? They haven't even been a stable for very long. Seriously people, give it some time before you label them as the worst. Slow builds are a good thing.

Slow builds? I understand where you're coming from... but Legacy has just been nothing but an epic turtle wading through a pool of molasses type build. It should never take almost a year for a stable to get up and running to start building credibility. All the great stables have immidiate impact. Horsemen, DX, Evolution, Nation of Domination, hell... even Ministry of Darkness and Corporate Ministry made a quicker impact than Legacy.

Well....... I believe there's 2 kinds of bad here that people aren't differentiating. You have the degree of bad where the whole stable is just a terrible idea and it's just... well... clownshoes. Then you have the degree of bad where it's a stable made to envoke promise and the members of it are supposed to be something big. That said...

I agree with Misfits in Action. That was just... holy wow god awful. Words can't even be found to describe the degrees of awfulness there.

Biggest fail? As a whole, I'd still have to say Legacy. They haven't done anything as a whole or made any kind of impact at all. Taking out the McMahons doesn't count. And even with Orton as top heel, he still couldn't get the rub from HHH at Mania, won the title in a 3 on 3 match...ftw??? and then even though Batista was injured, beat the bejesus out of Orton at Extreme Rules in what was pretty much nothing more than an 8 minute squash. They took the title from Orton...to give to BATISTA of all people... for like a day... or a week... or however you want to describe it. Which brings me to Priceless... holy hell where do I begin? Which is probably exactly what creative thinks on a weekly basis as far as a plan for these goons. They are nothing but lackeys. Their tag title reigns meant nothing. AND... at the Bash, they chose to throw the titles to Jericho and Edge as a means to build their feud and Edge's face turn. It's like Priceless is on a to-do list and just when they reach the top of the list to be given a story or plan, someone more important comes along. However, I think it's a good move because you know Priceless will win at NoC because of Edge accidently screwing something up, that Jericho will take offense to, and boom... 2 birds with 1 stone. Priceless will attempt to become credible, and we get to see Edge and Jericho.

Which brings me to Legacy as a whole. It's been almost a whole year and the group hasn't done jack. But after NOC, they might finally take off because chances are Orton will retain and Priceless will be tag champs. So all of Legacy will have gold. It happens in every stable eventually and it's finally Legacy's turn. But that still doesn't change the fact that up to this point... they have been superfail. It's rediculous that it takes almost a whole year to get a stable with Orton up and running. But they might finally get moving after NOC.

 

[Takerfan6]

what about Hurricane and Rosey was that even realy a stable the entire superhero gimmick was annoying........

is it just me or does legacy need one more member

 

[Doctor Demise]

what about Hurricane and Rosey was that even realy a stable the entire superhero gimmick was annoying........

Yes, i second the motion!

Who do you think can help the group?

For me, like what I said earlier I really think Jack Swagger should join!!!

And make Legacy not just a faction of 2nd-3rd generation superstars but also a new breed type of group.

 

[WorldHeavyweightChampion]

Legacy can be a great stable if given the right motives and storyline, and for cripes sake get them AWAY FROM TRIPLE H, He has and always will ruin the careers of those that cross his path unless hes close friends with them backstage, We all know this

The main reason Criple-H is destroying Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase Jr.'s careers is because he doesn't have a time machine to go back in time and ruin the careers of Dusty Rhodes and "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase.

I almost never watched WWF. I grew up watching NWA (and sometimes AWA), then WCW (and sometimes ECW). I know very little about the WWF or it's stables besides the Heenan Family, DX, and NOD (and only bits and pieces I heard about). But of the wrestling I do know, I'd have to vote the BWO from ECW.

Now, if they want to see a REAL stable look no further than this version of the 4-Horsemen:

Ric Flair - World Heavyweight Champion
Barry Windham - United States Heavyweight Champion
Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard - World Tag-Team Champions
J.J. Dillon - manager

And if you want to see how a REAL beat-down is done, go to YouTube and type in:

4-Horsemen attack Roadwarriors

 

[Ledco]

Yeah I think Legacy is the worst stable too. When I see Cody Rhodes attack HHH or Batista it looks like a child playfighting with his dad.

 

[gd]

The Legacy may be boring, predictable, and bland most of the time, but I don't think you can call them the worst ever. I know it may be hard to remember, but just a few years ago Randy Orton was a very entertaining heel as "The Legend Killer." Even now, he is the WWE Champion and headline Wrestlemania, so he can't be all bad. Ted Dibiase has shown he can work and pretty good match and Cody Rhodes doesn't completely suck.

There are so many stupider and worse stables previously in wrestling and I won't list them all for you. The Dungeon of Doom may or may not be the worst of all time, but it was certainly worse than Legacy is now. The same can be said for Right to Censor, DOA, etc. Legacy may be pretty bad, but they certainly aren't the worst.

 

[kingceasar30420]

in in last yr tha worst stable was no dout horny,goldust & Festus, but tha worst stable ever actually got a good fuckin push but were tha stupidest fuckin wrsetlin gimmik for a stable ever, an i think none tha guys in Spirt Squad should eva get any respect from wwe fans. they were cheerleaders if it was 2003 we would still be clowin on those ****. that was jus a group of billy & Chucks

 

[I.J.O.B.T.O.Y.O.U.]

I would have to say the most usless stable was JBL's cabnit honestly. Orlando Jordan sat next to WWE Champion JBL, While he was losing matches against Benoit in 25 seconds. Jillian was just there with that thing on here face. It really just made me mad how much of a peice or crap this thing was.

 

[instantkarmaVA]

I'm surprised no one said the NWO WWE version 2.0. You had a gimped up Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash,X pac,Big Show, and Booker T. All very talented guys but the WWE didn't do crap them as a unit.... Pretty much walked around the backstage area mocking other wrestlers...No titles wins. No real direction. Why bother when half the stable isn't healthy enough to wrestle. Crap...
Runner up for me is the Mortis, Wrath, and James Vangerberg stable of Mortal Combat wannabe's who feuded w/ Glacier. What was thier biggest match? I think it was Mortis and Wrath gettting thier ass kicked by the outsiders.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

The original Nation of Domination: The group had Faarooq, leading a series of no-names, jobbers, and overall individuals who were just added to the group in suits to make it look more impressive. In the end, it was only Faarooq and Crush who were actual Wrestlers. (D-Lo was in the group, but just a "stand-in" in the very beginning)

I remember the Royal Rumble in 1997 in which it seemed like 20 guys followed Faarooq out to ringside and yet only Faarooq and Crush were the actual Wrestlers. It was insanely ridiculous and just stupid to have that many non-factors in your group.

 

[billyrage]

X Factor with X Pac, Albert and Justin Credible. Did they ever actually do anything? X Pac was an overated jobber with a drug problem that only got to where he did as he was 1 of Triple H's butt buddys, Justin Credible was ok in ECW but defnantley didnt have the look that Vince likes. Albert had a number of tried and failed gimmicks who's idea it was to give him the ic belt I do not know.

I think the writers just threw this stable together as they had no other ideas for these 3 guys. It was quietley dissolved if I remember correctly with no explanation (correct me if I am wrong its been a long time)

I'm so glad someone else remembered this horrible stable. I was starting to think I was the only one who remembered this piece of shit.lol But yeah back on topic, I don't you can't judge Legacy just yet, yes things aren't going the best they possibly could right now but I would reserve final critcism until the stable is disbanded and done with.

 

[psykohurricane]

My only problem with legacy right now is that for some strange reason, somebody in creative doesn't dibiasie and rhodes to succeed. LAst night they had the perfect opportunity to make Legacy a great stable but instead they have Dibiasie and Rhodes lose to Jericho and Big Show and then to make matter even worst give them some interview time only to bury themshelves even more by saying that nobody will remember them losing which is the worst thing you can say in wrestling. How is a wrestler able to get over if he doesn't even believe in himself. Dibiasie and Rhodes are pretty much like the basham or hawkins and ryder. They are guys that only purpose is to save the boss and stay in the shadows until they aren't needed anymore and then they either get fired or fall into obscurity.

Having said that you would think that i thought Legacy was the worst stable ever, you would be wrong because i remember of 2 stables that are worst then Legacy. The Oddities and Kaientai. The funniest thing about this was that they even feuded with each other for a little while. The oddities where comprise of guys that they didn'T know what to do with but still wanted to keep around because of there size. You had Kurrgan and Giant Silva who were to really tall guys and you had John Tenta as Golga. They were managed by Luna Vachon. The problem was that Silva wasn'T a great wrestler, Kurrgan and Luna were on there way out and Golga was such a stupid character that John decides to leave instead of getting stuck with that stupid gimmick. This was suppose to be a stable that kids would enjoy but even the kids didn'T like them so the oddities pretty weren't doing nothing and the faded into obscurity.

Kaientai on the other hand look like they could be a good stable, but the problem was their size. At the beginning Kaientai had four members and was manage by a japanese guy that i don'T remember is name. They started out as the japanese version of the NWO and it was very affective for a while until the started a feud with the oddities and pretty much where destroy one by one in a match at summerslam. Following that pretty much all the members of Kaientai except For Funaki and Taka left the WWE and went back to japan leaving Funaki and TAKA to get destroys every week until TAKA decide to leave and Left funaki alone.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I would have to say the most usless stable was JBL's cabnit honestly. Orlando Jordan sat next to WWE Champion JBL, While he was losing matches against Benoit in 25 seconds. Jillian was just there with that thing on here face. It really just made me mad how much of a peice or crap this thing was.

You are aware that JBL's Cabinet consisted of the Basham Brothers and Orlando Jordan and not Jillian Hall. Come to think of it, after JBL lost the title Orlando wasn't with him anymore. The Cabinet did what it was supposed to do. Help JBL keep the title and that's what they did. The Bashams won tag team titles and Jordan won the U.S. Title while in the Cabinet so that is not a failure.

 

[btb1222]

I was just looking up x factor on Youtube and well their theme even makes them look bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjx2gxK_9Tg

Who remembers the New Breed? Burke,Thorn, Stryker, and cor von only one remains and hes a commentator.

on topic: Legacy isn't the worst stable ever. They are decent for now but they should add a big guy into the mix like batista [or another big proven guy]. He would help the development of Rhodes and dibiasie. It would relate to Evolution in main event-Orton young people-R&D then the proven guy like flair to help which batista would be in and truning him heel would be great but he injured and not 3 gen so who knows what VKM has up his sleeves?
