10 WORST WWE Stables Ever

[@stevenlannister184]

The Core was basically WWE admitting they screwed up with the Nexus and trying to get that momentum back.

[@RuanAntunes7]

And then they screwed up again

[@ThangCal]

How would they come back if Cena still involved.

[@kevinstull8552]

Corre with two R's 😂

[@KaladinVegapunk]

I always thought it was fitting they were called stables since Vince saw them as disposable animals he could work to death and replace, not even considered employees with awful medical and dying so young. Really glad to hear that scumbag is in poor health

The Spirit Squad absolutely sucked but its great to see how Dolph evolved from those horrible days

[@aleiterful]

He hasn’t really done much at all in years even tho he’s probably too 3 in ring performers in the last 20 years

[@Yessica.haircut]

@@aleiterful what you just said makes no sense

[@OhSoNasty]

@@aleiterful it blows my mind how Kenny dysktra was supposed to be the next big thing in the group. Glad dolph was able to keep his tenure for 16+ years. Yeah he hasnt done much since his title reign back in what 2011/12? But he sure as hell does put in the work and loves to put over new talent

[@Yeetusdeletus897]

I’ll die on the hill that the spirit squad was a so bad,it’s great gimmick

[@aleiterful]

@@Yessica.haircut how does that make no sense? What has he done since 2013?

[@CyberChamp]

Ali's leader reveal was pretty cool to be honest. I really liked that storyline but the issue mostly was - they never won matches, a dominating threat of Retribution never won a match.

[@alexubel]

The problem with Retribution was their momentum died the moment they were "given" WWE contracts. They worked much better as a group that were outsiders.

[@michaelrivera8360]

Also it was stll midcard if WWE thought they where a treat they would have headlined a show with his reaveal

[@Streetzzz]

They never won and then the pandemic really cracked down hard so they lost the big group of nameless goons that made them look better than..5 people in masks.

[@supersasukemaniac]

Considering how Retribution where supposed to be threats, at their hight I would have had Retribution ether win or steal some titles, Slap jack and T-Bar as tag champions, Mace as US or IC or NXT North American champion, Reckoning with on le of the Women's title and Ali with either the IC or US tiles, or the NXT Championship.

[@robertmusgrove4537]

The names and the paper plate mask ruined it for me

[@mycahjofficial]

*I just always knew that the League of Nations were formed just to help get Roman over because that was the time when the Roman Reigns experiment was at an all-time high, where the company will try almost every pathetic attempt to get Reigns over as the top babyface of the company and it failed miserably time after time after time.*

[@SIMOLAMBOTZ]

Yeah, it was born for that

[@BlackPawn14]

the LoN's entire existence was just... so pathetic. 4 random international guys that have barely interacted with each other unite into a single stereotypical anti-America stable, with the sole purpose of being fed to an _incredibly_ unpopular Roman Reigns.

[@NameThatSong1]

When Roman comes back he will be a "Face" again vs Solo Sikoa. At least they won't have to try this time.

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

That was an unwatchable era. The babyface Roman experiment went on for so long and was so forced, and it was obvious all along that he was meant to be a heel- big, good looking, related to stars of the past/nepotism, limited moveset... he was born to heel, with short face periods interspersed. You can find comments calling that out for years.

As well he should.

[@venomousnate7263]

Well considering how he’s been to some of the women in his life, and some colleagues and promotions, he deserves it.

[@uttermanbo]

I never found Del Rio entertaining. I get they wanted a Latin star, but just like Mahal, Del Rio just wasn't on the level of an Eddie, or Rey. He was decent in the ring, but he was over pushed, and worse was the way he essentially ended a far more entertaining star in Ziggler from having a real run. X PAC hear was all I had towards him. I saw him on screen, and I'd tune out. His ring announcer was the only thing I ever paid attention to.

[@IAWIA5]

​@@uttermanbo He had a good look and decent in-ring skills but the dude was a total charisma vacuum, absolutely boring as a character and on the mic. They pushed him to the moon when in reality the audience simply didn't care about him enough to want to see him be a top star

[@versansky75]

I actually liked The Social Outcasts. They were a funny, and talented group that led to Axel and Dallas becoming The B Team and Slater's I Got Kids Segments

[@IAWIA5]

It was another gimmick that the wrestlers who were assigned to it embraced and tried to make the most out of it, but unfortunately it was clear that the company and creative simply had nothing for them to do, not even enough comedic spots

[@ClovissenpaiDotR]

the peak of the social outcasts was when a member entered the royal rumble and the crowd half pops because they thought it was the team extreme theme starting up

[@MegaShingo97]

Which rumble ?

[@LeesoPskiii]

I forgot about The League of Nations. WWE killed them at Wrestlemania with Mick, Stone Cold, & HBK. 😂

[@supersasukemaniac]

"P.M.S was a Vince Russo idea." I mean this is the same guy who pitched the idea of TNA (originally as a joke, but Jarrett actually loved the Idea as long as it was short for Total Nonstop Action) and made a stable in early TNA called S.E.X (Sports Entertainment Xtreme.)

[@randallrona9618]

S.E.X.? Really?! 😆😂🤣

[@reesebecker4838]

The Mexicools lawn mower entrances is one of the best things about that era of smackdown and I’ll hear nothing else

Facts

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Hey! The Cabinet was a great group. The whole point was that his staff were there to protect JBL. It wasnt a faction to build new talent. It was to protect JBL.

[@zayviper]

I definitely agree with this. I rewatched a lot of the old smackdown episodes recently and that was pretty much the whole purpose JBL be the leader and boss everyone else around it fit the angle they were going for.

[@quentinkaasa47]

The thing I love most about the Cabinet is that the leader was objectively the superior member of the group, while everyone else was underneath him. Having the Basham's and those women as a part of it all wasn't even necessary, because JBL didn't need the help like Triple H did at the same time on RAW.

[@LordBork]

Came here to say the same thing. Loved The Cabinet.

[@TheSBleeder]

Evolution protected Triple H AND built 2 new stars. The Cabinet? Not so much.

[@BDESal]

Evolution ripoff

[@claytonrios1]

And suddenly I remember that the Basham Brothers were a thing. The only thing that stood out about them was that they were into bondage.

[@quentinkaasa47]

Remember Shaniqua? Lol You should hear Jim Cornette's rant about John Laurinaitis concerning the Basham's.

[@claytonrios1]

@@quentinkaasa47 Johnny was so bad at picking talent.

[@Sunprism]

I will always remember the Mean Street Posse for that amazing hardcore rivalry with Crash Holly...They snuck into his hotel room with a referee and attacked him with a room service cart

[@foxincrocs]

Least believable thing for League of Nations was an Englishman and an Irishman getting along

[@gabvillagepanda]

Of the the stables mentioned, the two with the most tragic tenures were probably the league of nations and the cabinet. Whereas the former were composed of proven championship-caliber workers but achieved little to no success together, every wrestler in the latter held gold at a shared point in time but were outshined by other wrestlers during that era. Neither had realized their group’s potential-as champions or as contenders.

[@Thatguy-qv1wr]

The core had a pretty good theme song in my opinion

[@supersasukemaniac]

Considering that The Truth Commission was based off the Truth and Reconciliation Committee from Apartheid-era South Africa, the fact WWE decided to replace the only South African on the team kind of spelled disaster. It would be like signing Col. DeBeers and stripping away his South African military gimmick and making him a carbon copy of Sgt. Slaughter,which would be a cruel irony since DeBeers and Sarge had a long standing fued in the AWA.

[@Extinguisher10]

I haven't watched wrestling consistently since early 2001, but I still can't help but enjoy these videos

[@some.randomdudeonYT]

We are very similar in that! I stopped watching after Eddie passed away back in '05, and pretty much everyone we saw last time is gone, either retired or passed away. Time really flies by....

[@azharmoosa4005]

Please do a list of the craziest things Juvi has ever said or done. It will be an amazing piece of content.

[@spudsucker9489]

There is not enough time in the universe

[@namikstudios]

Juvi is more talented in the ring than 10 Dwayne Johnsons combined lol. Seriously, one of them pulls off 450 splashes and Juvi Drivers, while the other has... an elbow drop. A fricking elbow drop! The People's Elbow would have to be one of the weakest and most unconveniencing finishing moves in the history of the industry. Dwayne is lucky he's a good actor with mic skills because he can't wrestle for shite.

[@danmount9462]

Wasn't one the options on the Raw Roulette wheel to make your version of the Corre theme?

[@namikstudios]

The Mexicools were obviously just yet another case of WWE failing to do something WCW had pulled off very successfully - the LWO.

[@peleg6748]

LWO didn't work in WCW. Yes the people in that stable were great but WCW completely missed the mark in booking that stable

[@aleiterful]

“Lads, don’t be rubbish”

[@hackerjack79]

Retribution were great for a few weeks, the segment where they chain sawed the ring was brilliant, but they followed it up with absolutely nothing and it died as a result.

[@TheMrCGW]

I Think this is the most I've seen South Africa mentioned on a wrestling list, Robin B. Smith (The commandant) , Adam Rose and Justin Gabriel all mentioned

[@mister_vulgar]

the unfortunate thing about the league of nations is that they had so much potential. 2 former world champs, 1 of which was even champ during the group, the united states champ, and 2 top heels. yet they went absolutely nowhere

[@optimus2008]

They were punching bags to be fair.

[@Marzchaix]

Basically a worst version of The United Kingdom faction in WWE 12. And honestly, it could of worked if they weren’t basically banded together to be pushovers for faces.

[@johnquigley4900]

I’ve noticed that up until very recently WWE barely did factions and even more rarely did they have more than 3 people up until now

[@youngsharkydeluxe]

The Core Was my introduction to Stables as a kid and for that I have a super special love for them!

[@PROSKULL37]

I’d say the best are: 1. DX 2. The Shield 3. Evolution 4. The Ministry Of Darkness 5. Bloodline Honorable mention: The New Day, The Straight Edge Society, The Nexus Then if we are talking the worst here’s my 5: 1. 3 Man Band 2. The Core 3. League of Nations 4. The Cabinet 5. The Social Outcasts

[@uttermanbo]

I actually liked JBL's Cabinet. The problem was Orlando Jordan was not a big enough star, or personality to be able to survive eating so many pins. He got the U.S title in a fluke victory because Cena was being elevated to the top title. The Bashams wore those Demolition gimp masks, but were never near as dominant. Their title runs were pretty unremarkable. I think all three of the guys could have been elevated if booked a little stronger. JBL himself was never anything but a mid card tag team guy before the Summer of 2004. He got a total makeover, and got over. The cabinet actually helped elevate him.

[@willfields2096]

Agreed

[@keithnelson5376]

0:19 The way he says "Oh deary me" kills me and I don't know why 😂😂😂😂😂

[@RussianBot-kp8wn]

Yeah retribution deserves number 1 One week it would be 5 of them attacking a random person, next week it was 20 attacking the whole roster

[@CirilloRuca]

I liked Retribution. They were just used way wrong. Ali is a legit star and so was Mia Yim (the only woman in the group). They all had the look and talent to take off. But the way WWE used them was not only bad, but a huge missed opportunity. Retribution was another pit of gold and they fumbled it. I hated it. Retribution could've been something.🖤

[@thomashooks84]

I actually like PMS at the time. Truth... when you read it out loud it sounds dumb af. I remember them feeding Meat some viagra and BossMan stepping on his...uh...meat when he pinned him. Haha good times

Wade Barrett is prime material for an essay on a guy who had the chance to be big but for some reason was brushed off in favour of older guys despite getting over two of three times and sometimes entirely due to himself. He also had no behind the scene issues apart from some injuries but I don't know if anyone truly went to bat for him.
