10 Most Dominant Wrestling Stables Of All Time
1. The New World Order
Inspiring D-Generation X and Bullet Club, the New World Order were a strong enough stable that Eric Bischoff genuinely believed they could form their own promotion independent of World Championship Wrestling. Few shouted loud enough to bet against him at the time.
The ambition was later matched then bettered by The Elite, but the nWo came first and drove business with such a force that Vince McMahon found himself lagging behind as the king of North American wrestling for the only time in his career as a company owner. An inspired take on an old angle, Bischoff's masterstroke was establishing the chaos long before revealing Hulk Hogan's place at its dark heart.
Scott Hall and Kevin Nash's arrivals in WCW had turned the promotion on its head in a way that matched the challenging move towards reality-based booking both companies were trying to achieve with a changing fanbase. It was inevitable that the mammoth growth of the group would be its undoing, but there was enough logic to justify expansion in the first 12 months.
Somebody in the group was infinitely more over, and entirely by association. Hall, Nash and Hogan were such a hit that the Order's shirt became the 1990s version of Vince McMahon's "Hulkdust". And not the sort that allegedly got No Holds Barred rewritten in a weekend - though the New World Order offered a similarly destructive hit.
