10 WWE Booking Gimmicks And Characters Other Companies Are Doing Better

10. Anti-Company Stable

Unintentionally-funny fever dream stable Retribution was the 'we hate WWE' faction of the modern era that fought against establishment, and the dub by signing contracts and politely turning up to their allocated time on Raw? Hardly the nWo, the Mustafa Ali-led group was an undeniable failure, with poor decision after poor decision crippling the stable, even before they were properly introduced.

Of those mistakes though, the placid nature of how Retribution "rebelled" against the WWE is arguably, their biggest death knell. Not something that Japanese stable KONGOH had any trouble doing in NOAH.

KONGOH (translated to "Diamonds") started to take shape in May 2019, after stable leader Kenoh grew disillusioned with NOAH's parent company LIDET Entertainment, whom he blamed for the abandonment of tag partner Kaito Kiyomiya, following their loss of the Global Tag League.

KONGOH feuded with LIDET via programs with Kiyomiya and Sugiura-gun, including a threat that if November 2019's Shinkiba 1stRing PPV didn't sell out, Kenoh would be forced to leave NOAH and KONGOH would disband.

Following CyberAgent's acquisition of NOAH, KONGOH turned their attention to company President Sanshiro Takagi, even going as far as invading sister-promotion DDT to call out Takagi, leading to stable warfare between KONGOH and DDT at Wrestle Peter Pan 2020 and CyberFight Festival 2021.
