Favorite WWF Stables / Tag Teams

[BSKkayfabe]

I'm watching classic wrestling (hehe classic....thats sad.) anyway, classic Raw episodes on WWE network, and it just came to me that there were so many interesting and noteworthy teams, some not utilized to their fullest. Just want to get a discussion going, wondering what everyone's favorite stables were from the 1990's era to around the 2006-2009 era. Mine are as follows in no particular order:

 

Power Trip (Stone Cold Steve Austin & Triple H)

Brothers Of Destruction (Undertaker & Kane)

The Attention Seekers* (Marc Mero & The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust)

T & A (Test & Albert)

Legion Of Doom (Road Warrior Animal & Road Warrior Hawk & Road Warrior Heidenreich)

Straight Edge Society (C.M. Punk & Luke Gallows - Main team)

A.P.A. (Bradshaw & Farooq)

D-Generation X (Triple H & Shawn Michaels* & Chyna & X-pac & Road Dogg Jesse James & Badass Billy Gunn)

The Brood (Gangrel & Edge & Christian)

The Dudley Brothers (Bubba-Ray & Devon & Spike Dudley)

The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher)

Kai En Tai (Taka Michinoku & Funaki)

The New Brood (Gangrel & Matt & Jeff Hardy)

The Radicalz (Chris Benoit & Eddie Gurrero & Perry Saturn & Dean Malenko)

Too Cool (Rikishi - Formerly Sultan & Scottie 2 Hotty & Grand Master Sexay)

Billy & Chuck (Billy Gunn & Chuck Palumbo)

Evolution (Triple H & Randy Orton & Dave Batista & Ric Flair & Mark Jindrak*)

 

*Annotates a stable that either didn't have a name, but instead a theme or a wrestler that WAS in the stable but was kicked, and wrestlers who were put on the card as being in a stable but were replaced last minute, as is the case with Mark Jindrak being replaced last minute by Dave Batista in Evolution.

You mostly listed Tag Teams which are different than stables.

 

I personally loved stables and have no idea why they think a bunch of mid card acts make more money than a good stable...it never made sense.

 

That beings said here are some of my favourites.

 

The Corporation

Vince, Shane, The Rock, Shamrock, Kane, Test, Bossman, Pat Paterson and Gerald Brisco

 

DX

HHH, Chyna, Road Dogg, X-Pac, Billy Gunn

 

Right To Censor (I think I am the only one)

Stevie Richards, Bull Buchanan, Ivory, The Goodfather and Val Venis

 

The Holly Family

Hardcore, Crash and Molly Holly (not really a stable...but they were fantastic in their roles)

 

ECKR

Edge, Christian, Kurt Angle and Rhyno (once again not really a stable but they were teaming together for a bit).

My cousin dated the Jackal for a month or so. He was known as the Natural back then but I never go to meet him

 

He actually has a good podcast called Killing the Town with Lance Storm.

Yeah I didn't watch wrestling back then so I never actually saw the Jackal while he was performing (I started watching at the 99 Rumble) but I always knew she dated a wrestler named the Natural. When I started listening to the Killing the Town podcast Don Callis mentioned he was from Winnipeg so I looked him up and I was like "holy shit...he's the Natural"
