On Stables

Does anyone remember the angles of Hulk Hogan? Where were they at their best? nWo! Then came (and went) DX. Then Evolution: the past – Ric Flair (regardless of how worthless he is now, he was an integral part of Evolution), the present – Super H (regardless of how bad a person he is, he WAS “the present” those days.) and the future – Randy Orton (regardless of how disappointing he is, I still think he IS the future – the immediate future – considering that WWE also has the likes of MVP, Mr. Kennedy, C.M. Punk, The Hardyz, etc.) and then Batista (he was sick and will always be). Anyways… That’s just a theory – I don’t want to start a controversy on these already (very) controversial people. So, the most prominent stable this decade was Evolution. There were more – like JBL’s council (the Bashams, Jordan, first Amy and then Jillian) and King Booker’s court (Finlay, Regal, and the “royal” couple). There used to be Team Canada some time ago (it’s a history now). I miss the days of Clique, nWo, DX and Evolution. Every stable angle is exciting. Remember Foley’s feud with entire Evolution? I worshipped Foley and loved that feud! Just can’t forget those days! Of course, the Angle Alliance is a fine example of a stable – Kurt Angle (regardless of him being power hungry now-a-days, I still feel he is a fine Wrestler and Brawler) and AJ Styles (undisputedly the FINEST cruiserweight) plus Tomko (what Batista was to Evolution) and “Queen” Karen (no comments). I am disappointed that Hart Foundation 2.0 got scrapped. It would have helped the young, raw (and home made) wrestlers of WWE get over! Look at D.H. Smith today! Where’s he? Did anyone care about Batista as an “enforcer” under D-Von? But Evolution made him “World Championship Material”. nWo made Kevin Nash – who can neither wrestle, nor brawl, nor can spout a word on the mic – a multi time champion in WCW and then in WWE. This is what a stable can do to your career… And one more thing; if I were to start wrestling, I’d start off as a part of a stable…
