At one time The Beautiful People were considered one of the best acts in women’s wrestling, Angelina Love was talked off as the heir to Trish Stratus.

If it wasn't for John Blud's dislike of them, I would probably have forgotten that Fortune ever existed. FOURTUNE FOUR! ... which of course had like 6 members. So many that Ric wasn't sure how many were there.

As a fellow Limey I have a soft spot for The British Invasion. A lot of Boy worthy fighters in this stable.

The Frontline - the plucky group of faces that were quickly dispatched by the Main Event Mafia.

For a later one, there's whatever the hell the deal was with Ohio Versus Everything and how long that lasted.

Shoutouts to Diamonds In The Rough for paving the way for awful jobber stables with at least one dude in them who should be doing way way more

I don't know if World Elite is the most egregious example of "international wrestlers wanting representation but somehow that makes them the heels", but they certainly feel like they're the most recent.

Man, y'all remember that GFW stable that tried to invade TNA and only one like one match?

The Band which consisted of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac and a leather jacket wearing Eric Young
I want to say Sting and Pope became members when all of them was trying to tell people about Hogan and Bischoff while beating the shit out of them

Nash refused for a while... tehn randomly turned heel on Eric Young... who then joined like the next week anyway...

Eric Young who up to that point had only been a massive idiot. It was still weirdly semi-decent as far as these things go. Like, it had major issues, but all things considered, it was probably still markedly better than many of the stables in this thread.

Remember the Tribunal, when they brought in the Legionnaires from NXT and they started hanging out with Al Snow for some reason?

Fortune.
A great idea in principle. A new Four Horsemen inspired stable with AJ as the Flair, Beer Money as Arn/Tully, Kaz as the Windham, Wolfe as the Malenko, Matt Morgan as the Sid and Doug Williams as the Benoit.
Here's where they went wrong.
They kicked Wolfe out when he should've eventually been the leader. Flair managing Wolfe would've been better than him managing Styles. Styles never worked with this character and seeing him wear those robes was embarrassing.
They kicked Morgan and Williams out too when they added to the group. Even if they just stood in the background with the suits and sunglasses. Morgan should've been a major star in TNA in general.

We know AJ... he's not the womanizing party boy that Flair is... not to mention at that point AJ was already like their longest running world champion and grand slam winner... so him completely changing everything about him is weird.

World Elite, I remember stealing the name and making it a group in the WWE games with Regal, Tyson Kidd, Jack Swagger, and Del Rio.

TNA seemed to believe he was going to turn some corner and become a mega star for them, and, like, sometimes that happens, but usually, if you've been wrestling for 15 years, that's where the odds of that happening start falling and you might have to acknowledge a plateau has been reached.
