Fundamental Flaws

[TGR]

Basically, stables make ONE guy. There are some exceptions but, generally, one guy gets the rub. Horseman=Flair, DX=Triple H, Nation=The Rock, Ministry=Undertaker, nWo=Hogan/Outsiders, Hart Foundation=Bret Hart. Stables actually, usually, hurt three careers and skyrocket one career.

Stables may only really "make" one or two guys, but they can easily breathe life into a career that's somewhat waning, and prolong it long enough for it to become sustainable - and even successful. E&C, and the APA (Particularly Bradshaw), are both good examples of this from the Ministry of Darkness alone. The Union was good to the people who weren't in the Corporate Ministry at the time, the Brood put both the Hardy Boyz and Edge and Christian on the map, Legacy has produced Cody and Ted - both very solid newcomers in their own right.

The advantage in the back to a stable is that younger wrestlers can benefit by working more closely with an old vet (See: Ministry, Brood, Evolution, even the Straight-Edge Society to a certain extent) and be peripherially involved in the main event that way. That sort of exposure is invaluable - it helps generate new stars.
