14. The Revolution

Straight Edge Society

Leader: James Storm

Members: Abyss, Sanada, Khoya, Serena Deeb, Manik

You know that thing where WWE does a thing and then TNA does a worse version of that thing? Well, back when the Wyatt Family was the hottest property in the wrestling world and having MOTYC candidates with The Shield, TNA decided that embroidered jeans dad James Storm assembling an army of bumbling midcarders would do the same job.

Storm started by kidnapping and torturing Sanada, who in turn kidnapped and tortured Manik. The trio was joined by Abyss, who is apparently automatically summoned when a TNA angle gets dumb enough. The Revolution meandered, with members joining and then getting beaten up and kicked out for repeatedly losing. Eventually, they'd add serial cult-joiner Serena Deeb, before the angle reached a crescendo of stupidity when James Storm attempted to murder Mickie James with a train.
