Curt McGirt Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Whoops, I was only thinking of LOD 2000, which would make more sense as it's WWE canon. Matter of fact I forgot all about the Georgia LOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 33 minutes ago, Technico Support said: I also think there needs to be a minimum number of members for a faction/stable/whatever. Three people is not a faction. I think that number is fine, but I don't really want to debate that. What I do want to bring up or at least ask is why is it that most WWE factions top out at 3 dudes? In nearly every other promotion, NXT included, you see factions with 4+ members, but WWE looks like they like to cap that at 3. Evolution seems like the last time there was a real four person group. The Wyatt Family (ignoring the short period of time Braun was with them), the Shield, the New Day, main roster Sanity, Legacy, and hell, even the newer version of Evolution had just 3 members.

Ziggy Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Im watching clips of Piper shoot interviews and he claims that Snuka's loss to Morocco was a political hit to put Hogan over him. It also seems like he might've saw David Schultz as a threat to him being to top heel, which is a shame if thats the case. They couldve done more with Dr D but he claims Hulk didnt want to business with him. I'm so fascinated with Pre and Post Wrestlemania I era WWF it seems like it was very competitive as far as guys wanting to keep their spots or get the top spot of which ever side of Face or Heel you were on. Probably was most competitive the New York territory ever was or will ever be Honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehabilitated Rick Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 i'd argue DX & Evolution are top 10. Are the shield HHH guys or Vince guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that picture was taken from a very early stage of the original Nexus (you can tell because Tarver is there.) Young and Shefield got clipped out of the pic for some reason.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'll +1 the idea that a stable are guys that are managed by the same manager, but have no interaction beyond that (Heenan Family would team up at Survivor Series, and maybe the Patera beatdown, but beyond that, minimal, and you could probably argue Jimmy Hart's guys were probably a better example of this), whilst a faction are guys that actively team together, accompany each other to ringside, promo together etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big question isn't "do they have a manager?" or "do they have common ground", but rather: "Pick any two people in the group, no matter how different they are. If they were booked in a tag team match against someone, would you instantly buy them as a TAG TEAM , or would you see them as just two people thrown together?" If you'd buy them as a tag team, then it's a faction. If they'd still be two people thrown together, it's a stable. ...of course, that opens up the question "What needs to be in place before you consider two wrestlers a true tag team?", but that's besides the point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 To me, if I had to draw a distinction, it's "is this group about the guys, or the manager?" The Four Horsemen is clearly, just by name, about the wrestlers not JJ. The Heenan Family is all about Bobby Heenan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I do think you have to call the Heenan Family a faction because from memory it did go beyond Survivor Series. I mean during the whole King Kong Bundy feud wasn't the Family teaming up in random tags and didn't Bundy sneak attack Hogan on a SNME? Plus, I believe they were teaming against Andre and attacking him in the mid 80s before Andre eventually joined the family. Also, I was very young at the time but I remember Andre and Rude teaming in various scenarios. And there were backstage celebrations too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among some of the (many) hilarious stories he clearly explains his distaste for Hogan. However the man he seems to hate the most overall is Vince.
