10 Wrestling Stables That Never Fulfilled Their Potential

10. Immortal

When Abyss first announced that "they" were coming, turning heel in an attack on top babyfaces Jeff Hardy and Mr Anderson, wrestling fans were immediately pointing the fingers at the debuting wrestling legends Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. This was the predictable part of the faction that came to be known as Immortal.

What fans didn't expect is that the faction's prized asset was none other than Hardy himself. The Charismatic Enigma, for the first time in his TNA career, turned his back on the fans and captured the company's World Championship in the same night.

Unfortunately, the initial swerve was really the height of the stable. Whilst Hardy made a compelling and rather underrated heel, fans felt uncomfortable booing him and cheering self-confessed prick Mr Anderson. When Hardy dropped the strap to a beaten and outnumbered Anderson only three months after the shocking heel turn, the writing was already on the wall. Coupled with far too many parallels to the nWo, which didn't help when Bischoff and Hogan led the group, questionable recruitment such as a dreadlocked Matt Hardy in the worst shape of his career both physically and mentally, and the confusing alliance with fellow stable Fortune, the remaining members of Immortal fizzled out of the main event scene within two years.
