Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Top 10's will ALWAYS be debated, but I think we can all agree that there is NO WAY The Brood belongs at #2 in front of the NWO! That legit shocked me. Oh, and did I miss it or was Nexus not even in the top 10? What..

I haven't finished watching the show yet. Brood is No. 2???? That is so ridiculous.

Nexus wasn't in the top-10 debuts, either. Same goes for The Shield.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Wait wait, y'all don't think DX would've been successful any other time?

They were "young" male renegades that did what they wanted and got chics to flash them. How the hell do you guys figure they wouldn't have been successful? Lol

Yeah, DX is top 3 for me. Nwo #1, Horsemen #2. Not sure how the Brood made it over the Ministry of Darkness either. Especially considering they were in the Ministry...

They are in my top-3 rankings for sure. That formula will always be over with the fans. Having HBK as the original leader of DX was huge and gave the group instant credibility. Triple H's rise to leadership status after HBK's injury helped push him towards the main event, and also elevated the New Age Outlaws, X-Pac and Chyna.

The nWo should be the No. 1 faction though, and it's not really close. The impact they had on the entire wrestling business (which was in pretty bad shape in 1996) cannot be overlooked. I'd put the 4 Horsemen next in line, followed by DX.

Still can't get over The Brood being No. 2. That really makes no sense.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I never said DX was only successful because of their era. Hell, they succeeded in 2006 and 2007, as well. And that was a far different era than the Attitude Era.

I just think they are historically overrated. They weren't nearly as significant as the NWO was. And they weren't as talented as the Horsemen. I'd even go as far as to say that, had they lasted a little while longer, Evolution was better than DX.

I was actually surprised/disappointed that The Shield wasn't on the list. Especially when you consider that The Brood was on there. The Shield has been around for probably twice as long as The Brood, they've actually won titles and matches, and they are of some serious significance. I'd put The Shield up there ahead of some of the stables listed.

I love how they mentioned as part of the reasoning for the Brood being so high - "look at the careers the Brood kicked off"...as if Edge & Christian did anything while in the Brood. They had their best success as a tag team almost a year after the Brood split, and they were an entirely different gimmick by then. At least people in DX won titles while with DX, and Triple H legitimately became a star because of DX. Same with Rock & The Nation. You can't say that Edge & Christian became stars because of The Brood.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The brood is in no way a number 2 stable in anybody's mine, I don't see how at least the free birds or Von Erich's didn't make the list considering that had significant impact during the territory days, I don't think nexus didn't make as much of a lasting mark as people think, the shield deserves at least an honorable mention

nope, definitely not IMO. It was awful when it returned the last time. Was only great because of the era it happened.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The DX return cracked me up all the time when they came back "I just kicked Stan!". Easily a top 3 group.

There's a always a vocal minority.....

I'll also add that I don't think the leader doing a complete 180 in his lifestyle/beliefs helped.

I enjoyed DX when they came back against the McMahons, after that not so much.


I just finished watching the top debuts WWE Countdown, Cena is the top Debut?

I was pretty hard to please with my wrestling as a midteen. Always hated the Rock, DX ect.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I'm watching Clash of the Champions XXVIII and a few points:

- I can't believe they thought doing a Nancy Kerrigan angle was a good idea.

- Austin's theme is awesome/under rated.

- I can watch Austin/Steamboat wrestle everyday.

- Honky Tonk Man still sucks I see.

- WCW was really really really awful at the time.
