8. 3MB

One of the greatest enhancement stables in recent WWE history, 3MB were an endlessly entertaining act who guaranteed laughs whenever they appeared. Yes, they lost almost all of their matches, but that was their role. They were comedy jobbers who existed primarily to put others over, and they did it perfectly.

Their lack of in-ring success (to put it mildly...) means it's tough to rank 3MB any higher, but it was impossible to watch one of their segments and not enjoy yourself. Heath Slater has always been great in roles like this, and he excelled as the band's leader, but even Jinder Mahal shone as "the fun one." Drew McIntyre, meanwhile, barely featured on television prior to 3MB, but seemed to relish his role in the group, even though many would've preferred to see him subjected to a stronger push up the card.

The group's zenith came at Extreme Rules 2014, when their mascot, Hornswoggle, wrestled El Torito in a WeeLC match. It's the most accidentally awesome bout of all-time, and while 'Swoggle and Torito took the spotlight, 3MB were just as important in their supplementary roles, with all three taking big table bumps late on.
