Team Angle was around for barely over 3 months as opposed to Spirit Squad who were together for 6 months or so in WWE and even longer in OVW. And Spirit Squad were more of a true stable as opposed to Team Angle which was basically Angle and then WGTT being somewhat of an after thought... It's just an opinion though, but that's why one was ranked over the other

Out of curiosity, why are the Un-Americans so low? Just lack of time being around?

I also think it saying something when Christian was at his worst when he was and UnAmerican it was the only point in his career in which he didn't cut a decent promo. Just to recap why they're so low.... Lack of longevity Rehash gimmick Doing the impossible (making Christian promos bad) |

Yeah, there are some great Japanese stables, but can't really fault someone for not knowing them. Blood Generation, Muscle Outlawz, Real Hazard, and World-1 to go along with some of the ones mentioned above.
Also, who the hell actually calls RO&D "Roughly Obsess & Destroy?" |

Anyway, I'm just happy AotF was included. In celebration, I will post this picture, because I love it.

No worries. I'm not a puro elitist, so I won't hold it against you.
![]() The thing with Dragon Gate is they essentially mix up stables almost yearly. Instead of having a draft, they pretty much have stables shift once a year. Hard to know what's going on if ya don't pay attention. |

As did I, but that picture looks cooler then the one with Lacey.
![]() On a totally unrelated note, watching Jimmy Jacob's Youtube videos for Dragon Gate USA are sort of interesting. If he's telling the truth, apparently he was an utter dick during the AotF time frame, drug addicted, essentially homeless, and a total prick to be around. It sheds some light on his sudden ROH departure. He's better now apparently. |

Jacobs is such a talented worker. Unlike most indy guys his talent has most to do with his character development and mic skills. During Age of the Fall he easily became one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. I hope he comes back to ROH because he's such a unique indy talent. Anyone got a suggestion of any good matches of his post ROH run? |

Corporate Ministry is easily the worst stable of all time. It bored me off wrestling for the whole year.

wow, Dungeon of Doom @ 15. not going to get any grief over here because they are a personal fav of mine, but that's the lowest I've ever seen them.
Good list, Props for House of Humperdink, Legion of Doom, First Family (not sure if you knew of the original First Family), Dangerous Alliance and Varsity Club on there there's a few more American Wrestling stables I would of added in there from the 80's. Devestation Inc (UWF/WCCW) Hot Stuff International (UWF) J-Tex Corporation (big one missed. top 15 for sure. Crockett 1989. probably the best year they ever had) Army of Darkness (Big stable in Florida. Led by Kevin Sullivan). Stud Stable (Big stable in Continental and then WCW had thier version in 94.) The Russians (Big stable in Crockett. 84-86 I believe. ) The Rat Pack (they were hot in Mid South wrestling in the early 80's. Dibiase, Matt Borne, Duggan, Mr Olympia. The Machines (kind of a joke stable, but actually were over. They battled the Heenan Family in WWF.) |

What about the Freebirds? Since you have House of Humperdink, why not the Piper's Palace?

I see that The Union isn't even on the list, and that's probably a good call.

I probably would have put JBL's Cabinet somewhere in there, though.

Good list. The only real problem is the Hart Foundation not being number one, and The Four Horsemen being so high. They\'re easily behind the NWO and arguably DX.

To be fair Evolution was slightly different gimmick. Four Horsemen was the current elite assembled as opposed to Evolution which was the past present and future of the buisness.

I loved Hart Foundation but they can't be number one since it was just a vehicle for Bret Hart to be a heel and the rest of the guys were just thugs helping him. I'm over simplyfing their faction but you could even call The Hart Foundation "The Canadian Four Horsemen" as my grandfather nused to refer to them as. |

McMahon-Helmsley faction should be ranked in your top 6 or 7...especially if Ministry of Darkness ranks in at 6. WWE ratings were at its absolute highest in history during the early and mid part of 2000. In the absence of Austin, The Rock became the #1 face of the company....and his #1 opposition was the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. What are you basing your rankings on? HOW are you basing your rankings? If you're basing on personal prefence and subjectivity, then that's fine....just say so. Otherwise, your rankings mean absolutely nothing without objective and tangible criteria...which ultimately means that you are talking out of your ass. |
