10 Weirdest Wrestling Cults Ever
10. RETRIBUTION
RETRIBUTION is a bizarre cult, hampered by a small following and a leader demoted to a figurehead due to his lack of magnetism. Ali’s only real cultish attribute is berating his followers.
The group debuted wearing head to toe black and hidden behind balaclavas. They attacked WWE personnel with baseball bats and damaged the performance area with spray paint and a chainsaw. This piqued some interest, with fans turning into sleuths to identify the group’s identities.
Then they debuted in those masks, looking as if they should be collecting participation trophies in a Mad Max convention, and not one held in a major city. They talked vaguely about tackling the “sickness that is responsible for the infestation of this hell hole”.
From here the team would go on to have repeated losses to The Hurt Business and became the butt of jokes and humiliation. The group was in dire straits before Ali was revealed as leader, the group’s highlight.
The stable left Eric Bischoff questioning: “Could you possibly screw up an invasion storyline anymore in such a short period of time?”
