The Mexicools were the low point of each Smackdown they appeared on. Not because they weren't talented in their own rights, they absolutely were. However, Psychosis was so much cooler in his original mask and gear, likewise Juvi, who is also just so unlikeable. Super Crazy, I've always been indifferent towards.
But the whole stable was just so stereotypical with no purpose or reasoning.

I'm going with Million Dollar Corporation because of how much talent it flat out wasted.
If you told me there was a stable with Steve Austin, Sid, The 123 Kid and Bam Bam Bigelow, I'd be hyped up.
Other members I'm not as much of a fan of, IRS, Tatanka, Bundy, Kama, all had really good runs at one point.
And you told me it existed at a point where the WWF needed more stars, and this collection of talent, in just over 2 years, won NOTHING...

Truth Commission as all wrestlers involved were boring.
Million Dollar Corporation had redeemable aspects with guys I enjoyed watching regardless of allegiance like Sid and Bam Bam.

From that list, I picked the DOA.
Many of these stables achieved absolutely nothing.
Many of them had potential that was squandered.
The DOA? My friends, there were a group of four guys where Crush was the most talented and successful one. Can you imagine?
No upside! No sum of parts better than the whole! Nothing! Nothing achieved! Two twin brothers in there who are BOTH redundant, even ignoring their real world beliefs! Never over! Never good! No good matches! Barely existed!
What an unbelievable group of nothing.

The Cabinet was terrible. It's like they saw Evolution over on Raw and said okay let's do that here with JBL instead of HHH. Except rather than creating new stars like Batista/Orton or revitalizing Flair's career they chose some of the most boring people imaginable with Orlando Jordan, the Basham Brothers and Amy Weber. There's been a lot of bad US title reigns over the years but I think OJ's was the worst, especially considering he won it from Cena who had spent a year making it actually mean something. And apparently the Bashams had two tag title reigns. I know for a fact I watched that whole era but if you put a gun to my head I wouldn't have been able to name who they won their titles from or any memorable matches they had.

A shame Boricaus is tied for #1. They had some good moments. There were just so many more talented and charismatic guys that they would always be on the lower card.
The Corporation was awful BUT the crazy thing is, at one point every person in the faction was very much over as a heel or face in the 1980s or 90s. Either long before or after the corporation. Just by the time they were in, it was the lowest or lower point of their careers.
I also say DOA. Total losers all throughout most their careers. Barely entertaining but I guess they all got along with Taker so that helped keep them around for was an ungodly long time, featuring various failed repackages.

That's a good call on the Corporation members. Triple H, Shamrock, Bossman, Test.. they all had done, or would do much better things. You could argue that blueblood Triple H was a step down from Corporate Triple H but at least the blueblood won titles and wasn't just stuck in limbo.

The Corporation was exactly what you want in a heel stable. Main event guy (Rock), solid midcarders (Bossman, Shamrock), green guy who gets over by association (Test), and a hierarchy the faces could beat up so you didn't run Austin v Rock or Austin v Taker every night for 3 months. The Acolytes got to stand out there in the Ministry and the Corporate Ministry for 6 months looking tough till they worked out something to do with them, and so had regular TV time.
On the list, DOA get my pick. They are even in one of my favourite crap matches - the Sidewalk Slam Survivor match!

I almost wanna say League of Nations only because of the talent involved (and Del Rio was there too!) and they wasted so much potential there.
My vote goes to Million Dollar Corporation for 2 reasons:
1) They were a big bad heel stable who outside of a Survivor Series match win, did absolutely dick. 2) With everything we know about DiBiase, he was WAY too complacent with his guys routinely getting steamrolled

I voted for League of Nations (for reasons already stated by others), the Social Outcasts (because I've never heard of them so they must be pretty terrible) and Other.
Because The Roman Empire might have been the absolute low point of WWE creative attempting to cram Roman Reigns down everyone's throats, with an additional 'f*** you' to the fans by making the much more popular Dean Ambrose one of Reigns' lackeys.

I remember during my 97 Raw rewatch, every single time they had DOA on screen, my mind shut off. Probably the most boring and mind numbing faction I’ve ever watched. Even as bad as The Million Dollar Corporation was, at least they were goofy colorful characters.

Retribution is winning due to recency bias but the Million Dollar Corporation was always the gold standard for bad stables.
When you start with Nikolai Volkoff and feature an evil Santa Claus, King Kong Bundy, a phony Undertaker, and a heel 1-2-3 Kid, the talent looks bad. It's even worse when you realize how long they lasted without ever doing anything.

This was a main roster stable in Spring 2012. You have absolutely no memory of this, but it was very real.

the Social Outcasts (because I've never heard of them so they must be pretty terrible) and Other. The Social Outcasts were pretty good actually. They were a stable of low-card dudes, but any group with Heath Slater as it's focus is worthy and pretty entertaining. For the same reason, 3MB doesn't belong on the list either.

Retribution is winning due to recency bias but It's not just recency bias. Retribution was supposed to be the big summer angle, like the Nexus invasion or the Summer of Punk. Instead, it was a failure from start to finish. Retribution tipping over garbage cans and making the lights flicker didn't intimidate anyone. Not one person from the group came out of it looking better, or even looking good, as a result of the stable. Their only real feud was against Ricochet, who was about as low on the totem pole as you could get at the time, and somehow, he also came out of the feud looking worse ("If I beat you, you have to promise to leave me alone!"). Edit: Their wikipedia article says they debuted on August 3, and got their first win on November 16. That's more than 3 months for the scary new evil scary group to get a win.

By time he was there, it was just him & DiBiase. Still, they should've done more with the group. Unfortunately, I think they may have been victims of The Kliq.
