10 Wrestling Stables That Never Fulfilled Their Potential

Seeing Mr ECW Paul Heyman, who at the time represented everything anti-McMahon, side by side in cahoots with Shane and Stephanie McMahon was a sight to behold indeed. However, despite the shocking swerve that both ECW and WCW were together all along, which thinking about it shouldn't have shocked anyone, The Alliance struggled under the weight of the invasion angle.

As with most everything during this time, the stable was simply an illogical mess. Led by Stone Cold Steve Austin, who had been chewed up and spat out by WCW and had left ECW for bigger and better things (AKA the WWF), the stable only furthered Vince's guys, creating high profile positions for the likes of the McMahons, Triple H, Kurt Angle and of course Stone Cold himself.

Meanwhile, WCW and ECW talent was simply shunted into the background. Stars such as one of the '90s' most over wrestlers in DDP, ECW legends the Dudley Boyz, and other vastly underrated workers like RVD, Lance Storm, and Test were all merely cogs in the machine that was Vince's ego. It wasn't enough to kill the competition; he had to dance on their graves. The group were humbly and soundly beaten after Kurt Angle defected AGAIN and most of The Alliance quietly went their separate ways, worsened by the experience.
