There sure were a f*** ton of stables running around during 1997; which ones did you support? I will always love Los Boricuas' theme.
EDIT: Meant to have the poll allow more than one choice :/

I was a skinny white middle school kid from a ridiculously small rural town in Wisconsin.
So naturally I was a huge fan of the Nation of Domination.

Los Boricuas. I wasn't into the whole black vs. white thing, so I didn't like the Nation or DOA. Truth Commission...please. Didn't like DX because I missed the old HBK, and hated the Hart Foundation because Stone Cold did. But those Puerto Rican guys in the wifebeaters and khaki pants, they were pretty cool. Plus, my markdom for Savio Vega never really died after his heel turn.

Honestly, I really didn't enjoy DX a whole lot until HBK left. They certainly had some moments that I really enjoyed, but I preferred HHH-DX to HBK-DX.

I can honestly say that I, as a 6-7 year old, didn't like any of the stables. I liked the Nation once Rock took over and Owen joined.

I was a DX fan from the start, at the time I was a big HBK fan and was never going to stop rooting for him when he turned heel. I love looking back on Raws from that period and seeing DX, the Harts and the Nation, 3 heel groups, hating each other, what a time.

I like how DOA has 6 votes but nobody has copped to it because of the racial perception.

I don't remember pulling for any one group in particular but I liked different people in the groups such as Crush, Savio and Faarooq.

I was a Hart Foundation mark the second I started watching wrestling. Even being 10 years of age, I found Bret's social commentary on America to be intriguing, I loved their jackets, I thought the Hart family ties were a cool concept, loved all their music, etc. I also really liked the Rock-led Nation of Domination the following year. D'lo and Rock were big favorites of mine post-Hart Foundation. I kind of liked the Truth Commission too for whatever reason, but I only remember them really doing anything on Shotgun and not Raw. Hated DX until the second version with NAO and X-Pac the following year.

I thought DX was edgey and cool so I supported them.

That November night when Ron Simmons came out in that Jim Brown-inspired get-up, the heavy base drum beat and the chanting, the many lackeys with their fists in the air. That was so cool to me. They would be on the ramp with their arms crossed, watching Ahmed Johnson fight some guy.
Even today, if I hear that theme, I represent the Nation.
(I loved the Hart Foundation, also.)

As a kid, I thought DX was edgy and funny (even if I didn't get 75% of the jokes) and I thought their theme music was badass, so I liked them.
In retrospect, The Hart Foundation was the better all-around group.
Couldn't care less about Los Boricuas and the DOA. Anytime those two popped up was an instant channel changer for me.

I liked DOA, but was fairly oblivous to any racial implications. I guess I was 12 or 13 and tough bikers seemed cool.
Of course I loved DX for their sophomoric humour and their general anti-authoritarian feel.
Liked los Boricuas too, but honestly can't remember why. I guess they were a "good guy" faction coming out of the NOD split and their members were new and interesting to me.
