10 Best Wrestling Stables Of All Time

6. Los Perros Del Mal

While Bullet Club may be the best-known nWo takeoff stable today, it wasn't the first - or even the most popular. In the mid-2000s, an army rose up in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, helmed by the once-beloved Perro Aguayo, Jr. Known as Los Perros del Mal, the faction grew out of Aguayo's earlier heel stable La Furia del Norte and soon overshadowed the entire Mexican wrestling landscape.

Where Bullet Club took the nWo's template and injected a bit of humor into the mix, Los Perros del Mal did the opposite. They got rid of the navel-gazing and self-indulgence and kept the group ultra-aggressive and evil, adopting an ominous catchphrase - "Dios perdona, los Perros no," or "God forgives, the dogs don't." Despite all that, though, Perro Aguayo Jr.'s skill and larger-than-life persona ensured that the group became stars. Eventually, Perros del Mal t-shirts became as popular in Mexico as nWo and Stone Cold shirts were in the U.S. a decade earlier.

The group reached heights no other stable had dreamed of, being poached as a unit by CMLL's rival, Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, and even forming their own eponymous promotion for a time. While it's true that Perrito and, to a lesser extent, right-hand man Hector Garza were the true stars of the outfit, everyone affiliated got a rub.

Los Perros del Mal continued to be a force in AAA in the 2010s, only fading away after Aguayo's tragic death. They'll always be remembered as one of modern-day Lucha Libre's hottest acts, as well as one of the best stables of all time.
