Where would the professional wrestling world be without stables? We wouldn’t have the Monday Night Wars if it wasn’t for the nWo pushing Vince McMahon to creative heights that haven’t been seen since. Superstars like Triple H and The Rock may never have stood out the way they did with their respective stables, D-Generation X and The Nation of Domination.
Stables are very important in professional wrestling because they can push storylines, feed bodies to important wrestlers, and maybe the promoter can find a diamond in the rough. For all the great factions you can remember, there are tons of stables that absolutely were a stinker. For the list, we decided that a stable had to have three active wrestlers and be part of a television promotion in the United States. The latter stipulation is because there would be too many stables no one would know of from the minor organizations.
One hitch we ran across while doing the list is the infamous roster split in WCW during the 2000 time period when it was The New Blood against The Millionaire’s Club. Are both groups technically stables? We don’t think so. Some stables that just didn’t make the cut, but can be argued as being terrible are The Union, 4 Live Kru, The Corre, and Dark Carnival. With that said, prepare to drive down memory lane with the worst stables ever in professional wrestling.

This stable had a ton of potential to make waves in the WWE Universe. Instead, they were used as the muscle behind The Authority. In November of 2015, the stable debuted with Sheamus, King Barrett, Rusev, and Alberto Del Rio. The villainous group with international talent would be like most foreign stables, anti-American of course. The anti-American sentiments have become pretty stale and the fact that they didn’t really do much in the ring, hurt their long-term success.
WWE basically used them to push Roman Reigns. After Sheamus won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and declared a new stable in the WWE Universe, you would think they would become a powerhouse. As we just said, the stable was nothing more than a glorified punching bag for Reigns. Sheamus would lose his title after 22 days to Reigns cementing how bad this faction truly was.
