10 Worst Wrestling Stables Of The '90s
Back in the '90s, these stables should have been put out to pasture a lot quicker.
Stables are one of the most effective ways to get several wrestlers over at once. From the Four Horsemen to Evolution to The Shield, many stables throughout wrestling history have used the diversity of their members and the strength of their numbers to captivate audiences and generate success.
The '90s saw several unique and memorable stables across various companies. From smaller outfits such as Shane Douglas' Triple Threat or Raven's Flock to the giant merch-moving monsters such as D-Generation X or the New World Order, these groups served as fertile ground for the advancement of several careers.
However, not all stables were created equal. While many enjoyed a great deal of success, others weren't so fortunate. Be it through bad booking, a bad gimmick, or just the fact they had bad wrestlers, these stables from the '90s are not in the same conversation as DX or the Nation of Domination in terms of greatness.
Of course, some of these groups weren't outright bad, but even if everything on the surface appeared peachy with them, there was a bit of rot to be uncovered from behind.
10. Los Boricuas
In the primordial stage of the Attitude Era, WWE was infatuated with faction warfare. Before the Nation of Domination/DX feud of 1998 that jumpstarted both Triple H and The Rock into the main event picture, WWE had a much lamer stable feud labeled "The Gang Wars", in which three or four teams of boring, interchangeable, mediocre wrestlers competed in endless tag team encounters. It started in 1997 with the dissolution of the original Nation of Domination, and Los Boricuas were some of the major players. And they were quite bad.
Founded by ex-Nation member Savio Vega (no, I have no idea why a Puerto Rican was allowed in the militant black separatist group), Los Boricuas were essentially the NOD, except Puerto Rican. Consisting of Vega, Miguel Perez, Jesus Castillo, and Jose Estrada Jr., the Boricuas had no defining characteristics aside from the fact that they were all from the same territory of the U.S. They were all very much interchangeable aside from the fact that Savio Vega had been a presence on WWE TV for several years, and Miguel Perez had a very hairy back. Seriously, go watch their matches - one of the few things fans chanted was “Shave your back” at Perez.
Given the fact that Savio Vega was never over in WWE, it’s a wonder why they thought giving him three equally boring clones would have added intrigue.
