Pu.7pl3 tell me when I'm telling lies. There's only one way a stable may work; 1 guy for a world title and the others for tag teams & midcard titles. If you have multiple top guys in a stable, it's a joke, because who is going to go for the world title? And stables don't have belts. Finito.

I don't have strength for this argument Abeg.
Just try and think about my advice.

I'm moving goal posts only in your head. I haven't changed my stance. Stables are bad. The only way they ever made impact in wrestling was by burying others and or pushing 1 person. You keep saying DX, weren't they already big when they turned face. How did they turn big, by burying others while heel.
I'd say John Cena buried the Wyatt family. But they had great matches with them and evolution, but remember while this was going on they were having cracks and the reason they had to break up was creative issues. What else was there for them to do. Ambrose had belt the US title hostage everyone almost forgot about it. They had to bring back and old team in the Evolution for them to have a program as babyfaces. Who were they going to face? How were they going to make impact going forward. Escort eachother to the ring for title matches like the New Day and then what? Let's not even talk about how bad the Big E and Kofi's run were - but where is the impact of the stable? By that point it would have become an excuse for existence rather than a meaningful pursuit. At least if it were a tag team we know they have belts to fight for. But as babyfaces; no one to attack, no one to ambush, no matches to interrupt, what reason is there to exist anyway?
Did Blackpool Combat Club make an impact?

Stables are bad but Triple H career was floundering as Connecticut Blue Blood. It was until he associated with HBK then former DX he started to shine.
When HBK was injured, he took the reigns of DX and ran with it.
IF we apply your logic, every heel who has ever gone over in the history of wrestling buried someone else.
Great Khali buried undertaker in his debut.
Undertaker career suffered due to that burial😭.

The career success of Seth, Roman and Ambrose will forever be tied to the Shield. It was a successful launchpad for their careers same with Evolution for Orton and Batista.
You wan mention AJ Styles, Balor, Kenny omega and Young Bucks careers no call Bullet Club then you be Johnny Just Come Wrestling fan.

You want to talk about Ambrose holding the US title hostage. Let's not pretend like that midcard title was a prestigious belt at the time. I even forgot Sheamus had a run with that belt after winning the battle royale to win it from Dean.
It wasn't until Rusev and Cena's run that the belt was given prominence.
One of the biggest moments in that authority era was Cody and Goldust winning the tag belts from the shield. I dare say it's still the crowning point of Goldust career in the WWE.

Say what you want about Big E and Kofi booking as champions but they held wins over Orton, Lashley, Owens, Mcintyre, Rollings. abi you dn get amnesia? Both of their reigns ended at the hands of Brock, the most dominant wrestler ever.
Xavier Woods has been saying for years that his dream was to become the king of the ring. Didn't he achieve that?

If it was easy to just dominate everyone and be a successful stable then explain Why Nexus who were beating the whole Raw Roster in their debut failed
Isn't the Death Riders which the AEW Champion Moxley belongs to an offshoot Blackpool Combat Club? abi no be the same BCC Bryan Danielson dey when he win the Owen Hart tournament and eventually the AEW Championship?
Valee i dn argue to point I dey defend Nazi Stable😩.
You said there's nothing for stables to fight for?
NJPW has the six man tag belts which AEW took a leaf from and made the trios title.

Fed boasting about having biggest gate on ppv, makes lots of money due to ticket prices costing a kidney then releases talent= fed bad angry

Fed has weak women midcard and tag division but releases talent who could fill em = fed bad angry

Fed has 8 hours of weekly TV time between Raw, SmackDown and NXT but can't find room for talent = fed bad angry

Fed unironically bad for this though. Basically, all events, music festivals, UFC, etc do this nonsense nowadays. The problem is that people keep buying.

Dakota Kai was always injured, Shayna Baszler was 44 and had never gotten over on the main roster. Isla Dawn and KC2 deserved better, though

That's because every match needs to be a 10+ minute banger in the Levesque era. Yes, World Champ Gunther has to struggle against Otis, Tozawa, and Axiom and give them at least 3 near-falls each in every match.

I don't think she knew he had a been busted open and was at risk of a concussion.
She was just calling the match as planned.

He looked legitimately stunned after Nathan Frazier landed on his face. I think she should've counted to 3, the match was already near the finish and with that, we could've avoided Nathan Frazier almost forgetting to kick out and landing on Kit Wilson's face during the finish

The Loserweight cracks people's fingers as offence in the ring. Imagine pulling that shit against someone like Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar.

The Butch days were his best days
