Mexican America, OOF!!! Who thought giving Hernandez his own stable was a good idea. Wasn't that Zelina Vega first appearance in Impact as well I believe so, yeah. It was just bad. 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. Honestly any remote chance of Hernandez ever taking off was killed when they had him cash in at the start of a four-way match then immediately got his ass kicked by Eric Young and sat out the whole thing.

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. AJ as the new Flair just was never going to work. 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. Yeah, TNA did weird shit like that. Like it was long established AJ was a family man and then we are supposed to forget all that and expect him to be a mini Flair They did the same with Roode. His character for years was rich snob and during his babyface run in the build to face Angle, he was now the blue collar everyman

No one that dangerous should ever get the Border Toss and they had him doing it on women too. He nearly f***ed Gail Kim up if I remember correctly

Zelina, as Rosita, was only 20 at the time, too. As stupid as the Mexican America stable was, Sarita and Rosita ended up being fairly successful as a team. They even won the Knockouts Tag-Team Championships.
Speaking of Mexican America, whatever happened to the other member of that stable? Anarquia I think his name was?

Yep, that's his name. I thiiiink he went back to OVW after TNA, as he had previously been wrestling there, but I don't really know anything past that.

I was a fan of 3 Live Kru when I first got into TNA proper as I was a big Ron Killings fan.
Whilst not a faction, anyone else remember the epic feud of TNA Red Shirt Security (Kevin Northcutt & Joe E. Legend) vs TNA Black Shirt Security (I cannot remember their names)?

Remember when James Storm did some weird things to Sanada in a barn It's kinda amazing that TNA has worked with NOAH, All Japan, New Japan AND Wrestle-1.

T he Band which consisted of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X-Pac and a leather jacket wearing Eric YoungI 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 Oh, and briefly Bubba the Sponge was teased as a member, and Scott Hall came out to wrestle once wearing a dirty sweatshirt with "the Band" written on its front in black magic marker. My college buddies called them the Old World Order or OwO for short "we were relevant". the memories

Anyone remember The Dupps from the weekly ppv Asylum days. It included Trevor Murdoch way before he was in wwe.
If your not familiar it was basically a dumber version of Jensen and Briggs.

I'm learning so much from this thread. Almost all of this sounds made up, but I know it isn't because it's TNA.

How about some Phi Delta Slam I had forgotten about those guys. Hell, when I put on one of my TNA DVDs from 2005, I wondered who those guys were. Not a bad tag team, though. I also thought Trinity was pretty hot, too.

I know it was easy money for Nash, but I still felt a bit for him, doing this for Hall's sake, probably, and Hall still wasn't in a place to really last long, despite having the others around to try to carry him.

He might still be wrestling in Mexico. Hernandez wrestles in one of my local indies, I might ask him. It was the second nationalist group Hernandez was a part of, but this one was Mexican-only (they once tried to bully Spanish announcer Willy Urbina because he was Puerto Rican), despite Anarquia being the only actual Mexican member of the group. Hernandez was a US citizen, Rosita was actually Puerto Rican herself, and Sarita was Canadian who happened to have a career in Mexico. Has anyone mentioned the Menagerie yet? Knux wrestles to raise money when his family’s carnival gets devastated by a flood, along with Rebel, Crazzy Steve, and Rob Terry under a mask as The Freak.

Trying to remember anything whatsoever about the Dollhouse besides their theme song. I think Mia Yim was in it?

My two memories of Mexican America was the giant Mexican flag that obscured the crowds view for all their matches and I believe the white Canadian Sarita was the only member of the group who could speak Spanish.

From Dollhouse in TNA to Retribution in WWE, she just can’t get a break. Second, the team or stable of narcissistic heel women is timeless and when done right it will always draw heat, from LayCool to the Iconics. But TNA had already done that gimmick to death with the numerous iterations of The Beautiful People, and then tried to do it again with a group who had nowhere near that level of chemistry together, and it started out with a pair of women who didn’t need any such gimmick makeover because they already had perfectly solid resumes from the indies. Third, wasn’t Rebel part of Dollhouse when she had that infamous match with Shelly Martinez?
