Worst Stable/Faction In WWE History?

Gotta be The Truth Commission...i still scratch my head to this day wondering what the fuck vinnie mac was thinking with that one!

Other choice suggestions...The Kings Of Wrestling - Wait, not the awesome tag team of hero and castagnoli but the original "KoW" in TNA. Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. They didnt last very long but basically it was nWo but with lame elvis catchphrases and at one stage Elvis wigs and sunglasses!

Ravens Serotonin in TNA was also terrible on all accounts. Consisted of Raven, Matt Bentley and Johnny Devine in basically a rehash of The Flock/The Gathering. Poor idea, poorly booked and poorly executed.
 
The number one goal of every Professional Sports Wrestler Entertainment is to win Championships, or at least it should be the number one goal. The purpose of creating a Stable in Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainment is to make achieving that goal easier.

I’m not even going to mention what the New World Order accomplished in their existence, because if you don’t know, you just haven’t been watching long enough.

My point is, if a Stable has members with Championships, then the Stable has achieved its goal. A Stable that never won a Championship in any form whatsoever is a failure. The Truth Commission and the Union are the first two that come to mind, but I’m sure there are others that didn’t win Championships and / or serve a purpose.
 
I don't understand how RTC is a bad stable when they were one the best villaionus stables 1999-2001. The heat that they drew was unbearable and let's not get started on their theme music -_____-
 
I always laugh when people say that a heel wrestler/faction they absolutely hated was a bad wrestler/faction. They are heels, you hate them, isn't that the point? Yes RTC really, really, really, pissed you off. They pissed you off when you heard their music. They pissed you off when they interrupted good segments. They pissed you off when they converted wrestlers that were entertaining. Bottom line..they pissed you off. This is what heels do, and if you hate them, that is success for a heel.
 
worst stable has to be the dungeon, i mean what did these guys really accomplish? thier only claim to fame was the giant. if were just talkin wwe tho i guess id say los boricuas ( the "gang" led by savio vega) that was just a black hole for everyone involved.
 
I am going to say when these were in the WWE my choice is the FBI. I know it was Nunzio, Bull, and another guy. I can't remember all of their names, this how bad these guy were. I believe they were just jobbed out and fed to the wolves. It was a shame as I am Italian and it just made me hate the WWE at the time. Oh well, as they truly sucked and are good and gone now.
 
evolution was stupid coz it was just re doing the 4 horsmen and about a billion other times that has been done.. borrrrrring.. please do something new, wwe prides themselves on always doing something new and not doing re runs.. they might as well be re runs if there gunna force evolution down are throats
 
Ah, right, the Spirit Squad. Yeah, they definitely deserve to be in the debate of 'worst stables of all time.'

Fortunately their run was a rather short one, and I actually enjoyed their feud with DX. A lot of people disliked how DX made the Squad their bitches, but the way I saw it that was the only thing they were good for. At that point it wasn't about making new stars, it was about giving the audience some DX antics.

Ziggler has come a long way since then. I'm sure someday some other wrestler will (successfully) try to humiliate Ziggler by showing some old footage. Already looking forward to it.

So yeah, while I understand why people would bring up the Spirit Squad, I don't think they are the worst of all time. At least some little good came out of it. Plenty of stables that can't even claim that little.

Like the Mexicools.
Oh God, remember those guys? Riding on their lawnmowers? Dark times best forgotten.
 
Booker T and Goldust - Although they were funny to watch, the two did not mix. They had entirely different minds and personality, in no way did they represent the team well and they were overall a crazy stable with no eccentric elements to themselves.

The Spirit Squad - They were so annoying, goofy and irritating. Every time I hear their theme music I just die inside, in know way did they actually fight good and their team finisher sucked ass.

That's all I can really think at this moment, I'm sure there are others but those two factions are dreadful.
 
This was a bad idea from the get go. APPLE got pretty much no pops whatsoever. Santino couldn't even save this group. I was originally thinking this would be a semi-long term stable but thankfully it never stayed after the one match.

The worst hasn't been mentioned yet IMO. Even though it wasn't in the WWE (technically now it was since being bought out), I'd have to go with 3 count w/ Tank Abbott. Here's some rough dude that started to dig 3 count's boy band type singing and it was just AWFUL.
 
Not sure if this is a stable or not but I have really grim memories of the T.I.T. (Terri 's Invitational Tournament) the matches themselves with the Ladders and whatnot were great but the premise and any time Terri Runnels was on my TV was simply cringe inducing. Especially when she went ringside and flirted with King.
 
PMS was pretty bad as were most of the Attitude era groups... Kurgann/Interrogator arguable had the most success overall out of those poor stables as he is now in a fair few movies, most notably a pretty big (no pun intended) part in Sherlock Holmes.


My worst (and I am not a homophobe) was Billy, Chuck and Rico... Rico was an interesting character and gimmick but Billy and Chuck were simply horrible, nothing about it worked on any level. I would simply turn over while they were on the screen... Too Cool was not far behind though but the Stinkface was kinda funny twice or so...
 
Evolution was a pretty good stable because it promoted Randy Orton and Batista to main-event status. Spirit Squad absolutely sucked - it was like a stable full of Doinks.
 
Thing about the New Nexus - it had nothing to do with the Nexus anymore, safe for Otunga. The actual Nexus was over on Smackdown calling themself the Corre (now THAT was a terrible stable).

I liked the New Nexus because I like most of the stuff CM Punk does. Punk playing the leader of some sect or cult is a role he plays very well and is very entertaining at.
The name was just silly. Nothing "Nexus" about it. It was the Straight Edge Society with black'n'yellow t-shirts and less talk about drugs. In the end it got dropped without any fanfare or mention when Punk moved on to bigger things. Whatever. Nexus had been as good as dead before Barrett even left. Just something overdue.
 
There have been a lot of factions that were terribly booked (Nexus, WWE nWo, etc.) but were by far not horrible factions. There have been factions that were only meant to serve a purpose (Spirit Squad, Mean Street Posse) who were never meant to be top notch factions. There have even been cases like The Truth Commission, a faction that was over as top heels in Memphis, but just never caught on in WWE. When I think of the WORST factions though three come to mind.

Los Boricuas- For one, I hated the "gang wars" WWE had going on in the mid 90's. I thought all of the factions were bad aside from maybe The Nation, and I felt that it was a little offensive honestly. D.O.A. was bad, but Bryan Adams, Brian Lee and The Harris Brothers at least had matches on a regular basis. As far as Los Baricuas, Saviois the only one I remember wrestling on a regular basis, and the other guys were just taking up roster space. I heard that they were all stars in Puerto Rico, but they were never even introduced in WWE from what I remember. I remember one guy was really hairy, and Edge messed one of them up in his debut.

The 90's NWA Faction- To me, Jim Cornette is the best manager of all time. The guy was gold on the mic, he could get heat like no other and he was as entertaining as they come. Cornette was a wrestling purist and his shoots on WWE TV were good, and should have been capitolized on in a much better way that this. Jeff Jarrett made his return from being a country music singer to being the NWA champion, and we got The New Midnight Express, which is probably one of the worst tag teams of all time, along with a bloated past his prime Barry Windham. I think the highlight of this faction was a decent match on PPV between The New Midnights and the Rock N Roll Express that I'm sure only myself remembers.

Right to Censor- I see a lot of people defending this one on here, and I agree, the concept wasn't bad, taking a shot at a group that is trying so hard to put you out of business. I think Stevie Richards was good in his role as the leader, and this was probably the highlight of his career outside of ECW. I do however call it horrible because of what it did to the careers of everybody involved outside of Stevie. Godfather was over, Val Venis was over, Ivory was a good heel diva, and Bull Buchanon was a good tag team guy that didn't really need to be in another failed faction. None of these guys achieved the success they had prior once this angle was over and I really feel that this was partically to blame. Val and Godfather had a lot of steam going into the angle, I'm not saying either deserved to be World champion, but they were over for what they were. I think RTC should have been a group of guys brought up from developmental, then have them go their seperate ways once the angle had run it's course.
 
The Oddities comes to mind for me. Mean Street Posse was pretty bad but at least they had some comical moments with the Hardcore championship
 
Hands down mean street posse.... 2 of them weren't wrestlers they were really Shane McMahon's friends..... and the 1 that was a wrestler wasn't good at all either
 
I went to school in CT and I've been to Greenwich, and I'm sorry, but NO. Greenwich does not have mean streets. If they were from Bridgeport, maybe, but not Greenwich.

I think that is what they were going for. Of course there are no "mean streets" in Greenwich. That's why they rolled out in sweater vets and t-shirts.

@silverwraith: That's the point, they were a bunch of spoiled rich kids who only thought they were hard.

For me, well recently I'd say the Nexus Wolfpac - I mean, the Corre - but that had midcarders with potential in it.

Probably I'd have to go with the Posse. No-one else was that awful, although the concept was amusing. And they were useful feed for Crash Holly - now he was a great fucking undercarder.
 
The spawn of NOD Mach I (Los Boricuas and DOA) they were so boring and did NOTHING... well I say that DOA did introduce us to Droz when he threw up on TV all the time.. it's no surprise they quietly split up and ALL got released.

The Union went nowhere, I liked the concept and I remember liking them because they gave the young me hope when they cam about to stop the Corp Ministry then they disappeared.

I like ROC, they were legit hated and were a brilliant heel faction

I liked the oddities briefly, though I liked the idea of Oddities Mach 1 more then Mach 2 and Insane Clown Possee annoyed me.
 
From all the failed stables in the WWE, I'd have to go with a certain "officially" stable, The Apple led by Santino.
Its only purpose was to face the Nexus one time, after which they disappeared. I think it's good enough to classify it as the worst stable in history, if you consider it a stable.
