10 Awesome Things You Don't Remember About WWE's Attitude Era
7. All The Wacky Stables
This was a period of some of the most memorable stables in wrestling history. D-Generation X, The Nation of Domination, The Ministry of Darkness. WCW's nWo set the standard, and by the end of the decade being in a stable was a sure sign you were a cool dude, but what about the more forgotten stables? Who remembers The Union, or more accurately The Union of People You Oughtta Respect, Son (U.P.Y.O.U.R.S.)? They were Ken Shamrock, Mankind, Big Show and Test, all people wronged in some way by The Corporation. It was a bit crass for known union-buster Vince McMahon to create an in-story union for his on-screen character to steamroll, and The Union were, perhaps thankfully, only around for a month. The most popular, yet often-overlooked stable from this time has to be The Mean Street Posse. They debuted as Shane McMahon's friends from the "mean streets" of Greenwich, Connecticut and that was actually true for both Pete Gas and Rodney. Joey Abs was an indie wrestler from The Hardy Boyz' OMEGA promotion and was seen as the group's "worker". Much like The Stooges, they were silly comic relief in a time full of sensationalism and boundary pushing. The two teams actually put on the most watched segment in Raw history when the Posse faced The Stooges, although it was soundly beaten by the much more famous Mankind/The Rock "This Is Your Life" segment.
