Earl Hebner beat Nick Patrick at Invasion. so they have had one win at least forgot about that. Don't worry we all tried, but some of us just can't shake the memories.

Pretty much killed all of their careers, none of them came out better than going in. I couldn't disagree with you any harder. They got mega heat, they won a match on every PPV they wrestled on until they disbanded - it's the WWF's fault that they failed after the split.

I don't think anyone has mentioned DOA yet... I really don't remember them winning anything... like ever, but I still don't think they were the worst ever.
Most of the previously mentioned stables all, at least initially, had a purpose:
- La Familia: Edge's goons plus Vicki's nephew-in-law.. The Edgeheads won tag titles and Chavo was ECW champ (don't remember for sure if both of these overlapped) - The Cabinet: JBL's goons... Bashams won tag titles, OJ was US champ - the New Nexus: trying to salvage something from the botched Nexus angle - The Corre: same as above - Los Boricuas: the WWF needed more people for TV since they expanded RAW to 2 hours, this gave more people a purpose, more quickly - DOA: same as above - the Truth Commission: same as above - X-Factor: while, yes, they sucked, they did win titles, so that means that there was at least intentions of WWF wanting them to succeed - RTC: best thing Ivory and, arguably, Stevie Richards ever did in WWF
My vote is a two way tie for the worst: 1. Mexicools: three great wrestlers saddled with the stupidest gimmick ever.. NO ONE benefited from this. Not the wrestlers, not the company 2. reunited BWO: it was just WWE's way of saying sorry to the Blue Meanie for JBL being an asshole.

the J.O.B Squad The New Brood The Truth Commission The Oddities ....do Men on a Mission count? Men on a Mission was a tag team with a manager, not a 'stable.'

Two groups I can think of:
*Los Boricuas: The "Gang Warz" storyline they wanted had the Nation of Domination, which ironically, started out with a manager and a few white guys, and to a lesser extent, the DOA. However, nobody can remember Los Boricuas besides Savio Vega, nor any matches that involved them.
*That Tajiri stable with Akio and That Other Japanese Guy... hell, the WWE Encyclopedia made fun of them.

The Unholy Alliance was pretty terrible. All the worst parts of the Ministry of Darkness (and there weren't that many good things about it) combined with The Big Show.
Known for: beating up X Pac and Undertaker's snake skin belt promo.

They got mega heat, they won a match on every PPV they wrestled on until they disbanded - it's the WWF's fault that they failed after the split. Yup. Their careers were already on a downward slope. If anything, this recharged their batteries.

Their careers were already on a downward slope. If anything, this recharged their batteries. I kind of think the problem was Goodfather and Val Venis. They didn't add to the group at all and you were acutely aware of how much fun you weren't having when you saw them in these new roles with memories of their old roles. If it had just been the other 3 I think it could've been even better than it was. I just loved how Ivory had this ultra conservative character but then was like pushing the boundaries of viciousness with how violent and over the top she was.

Definitely disagree with Right to Censor, simply for disciplinarian-looking Ivory. Plus, Steven Richards was pretty entertaining, even if at the time I would have rather seen him playing a character like he did in ECW.

One thing I liked about them was that they were true heels, heels that even other heels hated. I loved that in the '01 Rumble JR pointed out that someone could've helped Val eliminate someone, and King (at this point still backing heels) immediately responded 'nobody wants to help Val, or any of the Right To Censor.'

They got mega heat, they won a match on every PPV they wrestled on until they disbanded - it's the WWF's fault that they failed after the split. It was bad heat, it was early Miz heat. It wasn't that people wanted to see them get their asses kicked, it's they didn't want to see them period. They continued to go downhill after RTC, because they still carried the stench that was RTC.

I feel like 3MB proves two things: 1. Heath Slater is one of best performers in the company, he's so obnoxious and just totally gets it. 2. Anyone is fun to watch as long as they're imitating Heath Slater. Recall that 3MB grew out of Heath Slater Gets Beat Up By Legends, the lone bright spot of June-July 2012 WWE. Relive the magic everyone! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSLLPQyfww4

Judging by this discussion, I feel like the only one to like X-Factor's theme song I know you guys hate X-Factor but you ain't got to look at me like that...

All the shouts Id have said are already here.
The first one that came to mind is The Corre. A terrible name + no one got elevated coming out of it. A few years later doesn't count as I think Barrett has finally found his niche.
Anything "New" or a rehash of a pre-existing stable tend to stink.
The Attitude Era had an abundance of stables that accomplished nothing.
