Stable Wars

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol I'm not going to try fantasy book anything but I think the idea of stable wars has always been a smart one.

Just small stables, b/w 4-6 guys, all over the place adds an element of unpredictability to a situation. It's like gang warfare meets sports teams. It also makes more sense. I never really understand when guys get beaten down after a match and noone comes down to help them, particularly baby faces. It's like, there nice guys, so obv they're gonna have friends in the back, where are they while their buddy is getting smashed by 3 guys getting put through a table?

It also brings pride to a situation. I dunno it worked for the wwe before. Obviously the only way it'd suck is over saturation... making too big of stables and too many.

There's also plenty of useful talent not doing anything, especially on Raw, that they could give something to do. The only time anything remotely close to a stable happens is if they book traditional Survivor Series matches at Survivor Series and you're guaranteed that the Raw before they are all going to brawl to end the show.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Yeah and stable brawls are always super intense.

Stables also makes titles mean more, just having one stable on a show doesn't work for me. Has to be atleast 2 to get interest into it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I agree, rivaling stables= key.

I really wish Teddy Hart wasn't a complete douche bag. The Hart Dynasty could have nice little stable going right now.

The DOA v. Los Boricuas v. The Nation of Domination was pretty shitty as I recall.

Yeah but DX vs. Nation and vs. Corporation was fucking awesome.

If you have shitty stables obviously it's not going to be entertaining.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Radicalz vs. DX was aite too while it lasted.

Thanks to the Vault I viewed that terrible feud.

It depends on the stables. I like the idea in theory, because in a business fuelled with testosterone, people should be making alliances and having people to watch their backs. It also makes it more special when someone is not in a faction of sorts.

Even if they were inter-brand alliances, and guys just shared the same manager. The idea of one guy having an interest in guys with amateur backgrounds, and signing up Jack Swagger, Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas and Dolph Ziggler could be interesting. Due to Ziggler's relationship with Maria, this could also get her sponsored by the group, which means she could also be in Charlie Haas' corner during his matches, which might get him a little more over.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kane and Mike Knox develop a relationship based on their mutual love of hurting people -- even if they never officially form a full-time tag team. Cryme Tyme has got Eve and Slam Master J already as loose associates. It's a little predictable, but why not have R-Truth join their ranks? It gives them a singles guy who doesn't seem like a complete joke.

The Hart Dynasty could have a loose "working relationship" with Chris Jericho and Big Show, based on Jericho's past with The Harts. CM Punk could get his bodyguard, and maybe also team up with Drew McIntyre. Finlay, Goldust, Evan Bourne, Mark Henry and MVP are all good buddies with Hornswoggle. Perhaps he could be the lucky charm that brings those guys under the same umbrella across the brands? Horny could appear on all three shows (gross, I know), when he gets his "manager's licence?"

I'd like to see the return of stables accompanied by the return of managers. These are the sort of guys who can give guys who otherwise wouldn't have a reason to be associated together. The bonus part of this is that it makes feuding easier, and it also gets guys on the very bottom (let's take Tyler Reks, for instance) more over if they are put in a faction with someone who is over (let's just say that Tommy Dreamer gets him into whatever group he is a part of).

The Hart Foundation vs DX was incredible

ROH tried it, didn't work out too well

To be fair, a lot of ROH's stables were pretty crappy.

I love these ideas.
