David Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 We've seen some excellent stables over the years in pro wrestling, with the only one still at the forefront of the business seemingly Nexus, which is a shame. Â What do you remember most fondly about your favourite stable, and why do they get your vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cena Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Unfortunately, I've never seen a great stable unfold as it's happened. I didn't watch wrestling through the Evolution era, and only resumed watching in the closing days of the original Nexus (not that I'm classing them as a great stable). Â With that said, I have re-watched enough footage and read enough about the story of Evolution to know that they were a cracking stable and why people rated it so highly. However, I have the Ric Flair and The 4 Horsemen DVD and through watching that and videos on YouTube I'd have to say that they're my favourite stable I've seen footage of. Â I think that it'll be between The 4 Horsemen, NWO, (edited to include DX - how the fuck could I forget them?) and perhaps Evolution for the most part. Â Whilst I'm here editing I will say that I absolutely loved The Embassy in ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 for me I would say the Horsemen, possibly cos I look at them with rose tinted glasses, but for me they were the first mainstream group I was aware of. My favourite would be the second DX, 98-00 on and off, just as thats when I enjoyed a group the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Three spring to mind which shook up the business  The 4 horsemen DX (Triple H, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg) The NWO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Posh Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 My personal favourite was the Hart Foundation, with NWO Wolfpac coming a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 Definitely the Four Horsemen. That being Flair, Tully, Ole & Arn managed by JoJo Dillon. Â Between the gimmick (which wasn't much in the way of gimmick but how they were), the "bunch of heels watching each others back," the quality of the matches, the quality of the promos, the fact they were usually a hell of a lot cooler than the blue-eyes they were tormenting, they were the fucking balls. Â I also have a minor chubby for the version that was Flair, Arn, Pillman and Benoit. Even though they didnt do anything particularly memorable, I marked for them anyway. Â Not so much the incarnation that was Flair, Arn, Paul Roma and best I can tell, the fourth Horseman was a maid called Fifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted March 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 D-Generation X from the moment HBK left and X-Pac and The Outlaws joined. May not have had the impact of the nWo or The Horsemen, but there were the most entertaining as far as I'm concerned. Â Evolution were pretty fantastic too.

Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted March 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 NWO and Evolution for me. MEM and the Wolfpack would get a mention too, if it wasn't for Booker and Konnan spoiling the greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.PeterVenkman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 When I was a kid it would've been the Million Dollar Corporation  Looking back now I'd probably say DX in late 98 overall, every one of them was mega over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted March 4, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted March 4, 2011 The Dangerous Alliance  They were fucking quality. Filled the Horsemen-shaped void very well. If they'd have had a heel Horsemen in 1994, I'd have wanted Stunning Steve in there so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigBoot Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The Dangerous Alliance  They were fucking quality. Filled the Horsemen-shaped void very well. If they'd have had a heel Horsemen in 1994, I'd have wanted Stunning Steve in there so badly.  Wasn't that the plan at one point, except a year later. Or at least that was the rumour in 1995 before Flair/Arn started feuding when they were still teamed together the rumour was the angle would lead to a new Horsemen with 'Stunning' Steve Austin and Paul Orndorff. I think an Austin/Anderson team could have worked really well at that point and would have been better than doing nothing (other than winning squashes and then taking time off for injuries every now and then which is what Austin was mostly doing at the time).  Of course by the time the Horsemen finally did happen Austin was long gone and Wonderful ended up against rather than with them. Had Austin still being there when Nitro rolled around I wouldn't have been shocked if he'd gotten a bit more TV time/Benoit's spot in the gang.  Austin would have been a really good fit for the group, definitely.
