Спорт

Fun fact, the Tito Santana mentioned for La Sociedad ISN’T the WWF legend Tito Santana. It’s an entirely different Luchadore who just happens to share the exact name.

Cult fiction deserves an honorable mention as a stable on the indies for over a decade featuring everyone from the Necro Butcher, Brain Damage, MASADA, and Toby Klein to even some legends of the business like Ox Baker and Tracy Smothers.

Even the 1996-2002 is deceptive as it got disbanded and reformed a few times through that period.
Thank you for acknowledging Andy Kauffman as a legit wrestler. He was a comedy wrestling act, but he was still a wrestler, none the less. He was also a huge fan of the business, and his act was an intentionally calculated heel.
AAA wrestling is cursed when it comes to their attempts to break into the US market. Their first big go of it happened in the 90's and ended up petering out after their top heel Art Barr died (he was also Eddie Guerrero's tag partner.) Then about a decade ago they tried again with the added buzz of Rey Mysterio coming back to AAA to work with his former rival Perro Aguayo Jr. only for him to die in a match with Rey.😢
Follow-up video idea, Wrestlers who've been in the most stables. Depending how you define a stable there's got to be some interesting names that pop up

Bullet Club still being one of the best factions in the world after a decade is more impressive than any other factions in history.
The standard factions in Us in the recent years have involved 4 male wrestlers, or 3/4 and a female wrestler. And in 2019 AEW has brought back 5 male faction back in US. I don't count Bullet Club because it is in Japan
I really don't think of Billy and Chuck as a failure at all. Cringe times 10 at times but when they had their moments it was incredibly interesting and entertaining. Maybe just me but they had me cracking up and invested

@puffdutchtwo If the booking is done right, the Bullet Club in WWE has the potential of an nWo magnitude. The Judgment Day, in my opinion, should be disbanded as it seems kind of a rag-tag group. Balor and Rhea to the Bullet Club, while Priest to LWO and Dominik to Legado Del Fantasma will be an ideal situation.

Jesus Christ These Wrestling Factions Are So Large I Lost Count Around 12 Members. You Should've Also Added The Corporation, The Mcmahon-Helmsley Faction, S,E,X, ( Sports Entertainment Extreme), The Ministry Of Darkness, Jeff Jarrett's Army, The Main Event Mafia And The Aces And Eights.

We need a top 10 best factions over 4 people in overall championship wins
I find it hilarious that Jeff Jarrett was a New Blood member.
Mexico’s largest faction is the cjng with over 100,000 members
If I remember correctly, the New Blood were supposed to be the good guys in the feud with the Millionaires' Club...except no one gave two craps about them and wanted to cheer for the veterans.
I totally didn't expect Number 10 to start at 29 Members...damn

When he said "la legion extranjera" the first time, i thought he was speaking in a demonic tongue. "Someone get me a young priest and an old priest, we got an exorcism to perform".
I feel like 4 or 5 members is a perfect number. Anything beyond that is too much.
The new blood were debuted as faces but the crowd got behind the millionaires as these were obviously the established guys so they had no choice but to go heel which no surprise you wouldn’t explain that

I have ONE dumb question (and I hope the answer is no) Are they counting Shawn Michaels as an nWo member?
I liked The Voodoo Kin Mafia
Is the corporate ministry on here I haven’t watched yet lol
Where's The Heenan Family why this faction is overlooked.
ECW didn't need to be in the invasion angle if it was only wwf and wcw since wcw was the biggest threat to wwf
NWO just about everyone in WCW was a member at one point
I think WWE only has 2 large factions. That’s the Corporate Ministry and The Alliance. But In my opinion factions don’t need to be large. I think just having 4-5 members is good enough. With each member holding a title. Having multiple people will members being lost in the shuffle not doing anything but just coming on TV and getting paid
I was hoping the video would show every member or list every member instead of giving a count.
