Let's reminisce about old TNA / Impact stables.

Because they've had about 57,000 of them over the years.

Remember The Rising? It's like a supergroup of 3MB, Maximum Male Models, and Guerillas of Destiny.

And that The Rising had a loser must disband match against BDC and The Rising lost but also BDC broke up like 2 weeks later 

Also DDC:

Serotonin!

Raven leads a group of people... that lose a lot... and Raven then hits them with a cane... and... then nothing really happens?

Having been reviewing 06/07 impact episodes as of late, this stable frustrates me. Matt Bentley doesn't fit in with the whole idea of the group, but whatever.

Anyway, the main goal seemed to be to break Kazarian out as a singles star, which is sort of accomplishment, but they don't really get behind him after that.

It's hilarious to think about how pivotal The Rising was to where Drew is at right now. First time he ever wore a wifebeater and just f***ing shredded his lungs for THIS BUSINESS.

Then they disappear for like 2 months and when they return you can tell Kaz is about to get the solo push cause he has a f***ing Montez Ford body all of a sudden with a bitchin pony tail and looks absolutely ridiculous in baggy pants.

Serotonin's so strange to me because like it's almost workable. Raven with a stable of jobbers he beats for their failures, sure, you could do something with that. Except they just popped up out of nowhere without any groundwork laid for the group and they never had them stop being jobbers so it came off less like a self-improvement cult and more like some weird fetish thing.

And like the kicker of it was that it wasn't actually a jobber group at all if you look at the guys used. Matt Bentley and Frankie Kazarian were both credible TNA mainstays up till then and Johnny Divine was a hot prospect that was doing pretty alright as Alex Shelley's paparazzi apprentice after being sidelined for like a year with an injury that took him out of Team Canada. 

All three of them got f***ed so badly by that stable for a lil bit, it's kinda brutal to remember lmao

It's weird that CM Punk's iteration of Nexus felt like WWE watched this and thought, "Shit, we can do that, too. Someone get Punk a singapore cane!"

[Cyno]

Remember when the ninjas kidnapped Samoa Joe and it took years for that to somehow manifest into a biker gang?

[Starshine]

The f***ing Voodoo Kin Mafia; who kept calling out some guys named "Paul and Michael," hung out with Roxxi Laveaux for some reason, and were also misogynistic babyfaces. The reason the team ended? Well Vince Russo says it was due to a guy in a different company getting hurt-what are we even doing here?

Eric Young being face in an otherwise heel Team Canada was brilliant and is dynamic more stables should use.

Seeing him as a budget Daniel Bryan years later was very strange.

[chronocross]

I liked Sting as the only babyface in the Main Event Mafia stable.

[Sparvid]

If it wasn't for John Blud's dislike of them, I would probably have forgotten that Fortune ever existed.
