10 Most Overblown Wrestling Stables Ever

9. Special K

Special K Roh In theory, this is perfect. Take a group of unseasoned charismatic high-flyers and young female workers who are already hanging out at your shows and put them in a heel stable. They gain valuable in-ring experience, and hell...one of them could break out and become a star. In Ring of Honor's early days, a group of "rich ravers" billed from then-rave capital of the world New York City's Webster Hall venue included wrestlers named Izzy, Dixie, Deranged, Hydro, Angel Dust, Brian XL, Cheech, Cloudy, Elax, Hjinx, Lit, Mellow, Slim J, Yeyo, Dana Dameson and Becky Bayless (and their bodyguard Slugga). They interrupted shows to have in-ring raves, and even closed the show entitled "Wrestlerave '03" with an in-ring rave that shut down an actual match and closed the show. Seventeen people are seventeen people though, and when others joined for a few shows, the number would end up sometimes over 20. 20 people at ringside during a match? Yeah, that happened on occasion, and as a sometime attraction is great, but certainly verged on overkill. TNA performers like Jay "Hydro" Lethal, though? Without Special K, they likely wouldn't have had the platform with which to break out and have significant careers.
