Nothing beats a great stable in professional wrestling. A faction is three or more talents that form an alliance together. Their main reason for this is to provide each other with support for both in and out of the ring. Usually, the group are friends and these wrestlers will stick together and raise hell in a promotion.
Some of the greatest legends of wrestling were members of factions. A stable allows a wrestler to prove his worth to the fans and build up his career. If he or she becomes more noticeable than the others in the stable, then that wrestler has a chance to become something special. A major reason why fans love stables can be due to the fact that the fans feel as if they’re part of that stable also. It’s a great way to connect fans and get them involved during an event.
This quiz is all about the best stables from the 1990s. During the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW, many factions were created to boost ratings and get the fans to watch their product. If you lived through those times then you know exactly which factions we are talking about.
