11 AWFUL Members Of Iconic Wrestling Stables

These wrestling stables were absolutely legendary. But these members? Not so much.

The wrestling business has arguably never been more stuffed full of squads vying for dominance.

Everywhere you look within this unpredictable industry, factions of pissed off heels, brave underdogs, or morally grey figures are battling for various spots.

And this is far from a new development, folks. Compelling units wreaking havoc, butting heads with your heroes, or trying to bring some much needed positivity into this often horrendous world have been popping up for decades.

However, even some of the most iconic and beloved factions ever to step between the ropes have been far from perfect.

While they may have boasted megastar leaders, a largely eye-catching field of talent, or ultimately helped change the wrestling landscape forever, they also contained some utterly terrible members, too.

Whether they simply joined the party late and their presence in the group did more bad than good, were just a silly addition that nobody ever really needed, or were even the squad's bizarre leader and weak link at the very same time, this lot will go down in history as the worst parts of some of the most legendary wrestling factions ever.

11. Michael Tarver (Nexus)

The Nexus' debut on WWE programming back in June 2010 is still one of the most shocking ways Monday Night Raw has ever gone off the air.

A group of hungry, violent young stars ripping through established names like CM Punk and John Cena, along with the entire ringside area and squared-circle? The potential was certainly there to create a few new genuine top stars.

However, even before the unit were frustratingly defeated by John Cena's Team WWE at SummerSlam, it was evident that not all of these performers were destined for main event superstardom.

In fact, some of them didn't even look like they were interesting enough to occupy a space in a then pretty unremarkable mid-card.

Michael Tarver was unquestionably the most forgettable additional body of the lot, seemingly just acting as a nothing player brought in to look tough in the background whilst Wade Barrett did the talking.

The rest of the faction's members at least had something slightly interesting to offer, while Tarver simply became the unmemorable worker who wore a bandana on his face... and did very little else to stand out from the rest.
