All stables since 2001 with the Exception of Evolution. The ONLY stable in recent history that was actually done properly (Get heel heat, all members had a clear direction and it built up the future in Bats and Orton) and they've failed to replicate it since, mind boggling... Correct answer. My two cents, The 2005 Dudley Boyz sucked. Having Bubba and D'Von acting scared of Spike was painful to see. Honourable mention: Nation of Domination, King Booker's Court, The Alliance.

I completely disagree on Evolution. That was not Legit Heat , That was real go away heat. It's one of the reasons many people still dislike Orton despite the fact that he has improved leaps and bounds since those days.
Seriously weren't Evolution a huge part of HHH's reign of terror that is so maligned by the IWC?

I'm a mark for Legacy, I admit it. Hell I still wear 2 of their shirts, I never got the Legatree one. Creative dropped the ball with them big time. After the DX feud they were poised to get to the next level, but creative never capitalized on their momentum.
It should have been both of them on Team Raw at Bragging Rights. Just have them demand to be on the team and DX say "You know what? We've been in the ring with you, we know what you can do, you're on the team." You push that their careers are on fire, but Orton's in a rut. It culminates with them attacking Orton for being a "loser".

I'd say Union, mostly because of the wasted potential. I'd tune in to see a stable of Mick Foley, Big Show, Ken Shamrock and...person #4 who I can't remember. But they did nothing special and disappeared.
Oh, and X-Factor just for having the worst entrance music of all time.

Seriously weren't Evolution a huge part of HHH's reign of terror that is so maligned by the IWC? The IWC was a tiny minority back then and still I doubt that every member disliked HHH. So you had about 99% of the fans eating it up, while maybe 1% bitched about the reign of terror. And like it or not, Evolution made both Orton and Batista's careers. It was hands down the best stable the WWE's done in that decade.

I know I'll be bashed for this one, but the Straight Edge Society, sure they were not the worst, but people only remember them getting their asses kicked by Rey Mysterio and The Big show on a constant basis. I wouldn't call them teh worst stable. They were booked horribly.

lol at everyone on here saying how great Evolution was - back in the day all the internet fans hated Evolution and I'd wager a fair number of you have chosen to forget that fact. Me? I quite liked them, but it did demarcate a boring era in wrestling history.
The worst stable of all time, though, is the ALLIANCE. It should have been the greatest and it became a joke. So much was wasted in the most failed big angle of all time. Really, nothing comes remotely close.

Straight Edge Society.
In the feuds with Rey and Big Show combined, they went about 2 for 87

I guess I'm the first to say WWE's version of the Full Blooded Italians.
It's a shame too, since I thought they had the potential the be upper midcard heels. The initial WWE group did absolutely nothing at all...I at least thought they could win the WWE tag titles, but nope. Once they split them, Nunzio faded down the card until they brought Vito in, only to discover he was a crossdresser....yeah.

I was a bit angered by the 2004 draft because they seemed to break up every stable (or whittle them down to a tag team) except Evolution.

personally I always thought that Right to Censor were great. they were heels and they played it perfectly. you weren't suppposed to like them, like JBL and Bully Ray.
but wtf was with Val Venis wearing white pants? why was he special?

I think the thing that might turns some people off from the Right To Censor(Besides the theme, although I think that was the point) was that it really was a platform for Vince McMahon to take his shots at the Parent Television Council, who where up Vince's ass something fierce during that period.
I'm not saying everyone who didn't like RTC are like that, I just think that some who didn't like them just didn't care for the political overtones of it and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't understand that point of view.

I'd say Los Boriquas. They had an awesome theme song, but once you saw any of them in a singles match against pretty much anyone in the roster you knew who was going to win. Featuring the only man I've ever seen who had curly back hair. THAT ALONE gives this stable the "honor" of worst.

As far as my vote goes; can we count Jim Cornette's NWA invasion? At different points in time it included Jarrett, a past prime Windham, a way past prime Rock 'N' Roll Express, the incredibly boring run of Dan Severn and the illustrious "New Midnight Express" it I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up more in this thread.. my vote is for the first version of the Truth Commission..the Cammandant was terrible..they were useless...Don Callis made the second version WAY better, even though they were still terrible... Even though I am a super duper huge Blue Meanie mark for life, the BWO's random run deserves honorable mention...other than one PPV match against the Mexicools is the only thing I can remember about them RTC wasn't the "worst" stable ever, I got the point and I thought they were a good heel stable...the problem was that NO ONE who was involved ever recovered from that angle.. Val was never over again, whether he was heel or face....Godfather never recovered...Bull Buchanon, well, it was Bull Buchanon... Stevie was best off with his "Stevie Night Heat" bit, but it was never mentioned on Raw, and then had "that match" with Tomcho...Ivory...I am seriously drawing a blank on anything she did, lol...so that should tell you something

Million Dollar Corporation: When Tatanka joined them his career went to crap, Nikolai Volkoff was a jobber for years before he joined, Bam Bam Bigelow lost to a football player, fake Undertaker was a stupid gimmick and only last until the real Undertaker came back, King Kong Bundy was washed up, Kama sucked. Heel 1-2-3 Kid sucked because he was no longer an underdog he was just a small heel that lost a lot, Sycho Sid kicks ass. Xanta Klaus had one match and by the time, Steve Austin joined the group the group had already disbanded. Besides beating a few jobbers, I do not recall anyone winning any matches from this stable. They won no titles, Tatanka and Bigelow lost to the 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly. Razor Ramon made the 1-2-3 Kid look like a jobber. Diesel beat Sycho Sid at least three PPV’s in a row.
