Some Guy wrote about Damage CTRL:
[3.0] "What a missed opportunity Damage CTRL has been. Started off strong, came across like an actual threat. IYO and Dakota won the tag team titles. All that was needed was Bayley to win a single's title. And that's where things fell apart. They all became the personal jobbers to Bianca, who no matter what the circumstance was just couldn't lose. Singles matches, tag team matches, War Games, it didn't matter, Bianca went over. IYO and Dakota lost the tag titles to a random team of Becky and Lita, then the whole faction lost to Becky, Lita and Trish in an uneventful match at WrestleMania 39. Damage CTRL was a dead faction walking at this point, they had no purpose. They tried to spice things up by IYO winning the title, bringing in Kairi and Asuka into Damage CTRL and having them win the tag titles, but after being hyped up as this powerful faction they lost to another random team again at War Games. How are they a threat when they never win a big match? Cut to WrestleMania 40, you have Asuka, Kairi and Dakota being completely dominated by yet another random team of Bianca, Jade and Naomi in a short, boring match. At least the breakup between IYO and Bayley led to a great match at WM 40. There was so much promise at one point, but horrible booking killed it. Never winning a single feud, never winning an important match, always jobbing to random teams assembled at the last minute. Please, end this faction. It's over. Let its members move on to something else."

ImperialUno wrote about Patriarchy:
[6.0] "Christian Cage is one of the best heel in the world right now and knows how to generate heat alongside Nick and Shayna Wayne and Killswitch, and in my opinion The Patriarchy is the most interesting heel faction in AEW right now if we don't count BCC as a heel faction (they are more a tweener stable) because the bond Christian Cage has with his "son" Nick Wayne and his machine Killswitch is really interesting, also though the addition of Shayna was done in a slightly jarring way, she adds something nice to the group (even if she needs to improve her acting, sometimes she's a bit cringe) given she's Nick Wayne's mother and her character is pretty intriguing. This is a good little stable, the problems is that the booking isn't always great in my opinion."

[5.0] "Not a good stable but surely not a terrible one, the devil story isn't the best story of all time of course but the stable in itself is just average not atrocious, the workers are good but it lacks something to be really interested by this and there's way too much heel stables in this promotion so it's even harder to be interested by this one, they are maybe a bit generic and the fact Adam Cole is injured doesn't help. They also need an interesting storyline to truly develop and to look different to the other heel stables in the roster but given how Tony Khan struggles to book an interesting story, i doubt it will happen."

[3.0] "This isn't necessarily the worst stable of all time but this was pointless, useless, boring and it didn't help anyone. Jay White went from one of the biggest heel of the company to an idiot scissoring with The Acclaimed and even if it didn't last that long and was just here to build up a rivalry between BCG and The Acclaimed, it broke Jay White's momentum and it made The Acclaimed just tiresome, moreover, it led to a boring rivalry that nobody cares about so what the point to create this stable ? Not a catastrophic stable, just a boring and useless one."

[7.0] "As The Don Callis Family, currently, stands, I'm liking them. I'm glad we don't have to sit through Don Callis' self indulgent promos anymore, and now we just get him on commentary and watch how great guys like Will Ospreay and Konosuke Takeshita are, having the lights shine on Powerhouse Hobbs & Kyle Fletcher. Just need to remove Sammy Guevara, and let time pass and see where this group goes, and I could raise my score."

[7.0] "It's such a shame that CM Punk isn't in AEW and everything that happened, because I wish we got more of CMFTR. As the previous commentor said, a big "What if? " in AEW. They weren't together for a long time, but the times they were together, they felt like a natural pair and made for entertaining TV. Also, those early Collision episodes were some of the best Television in company's history."

[9.0] "Weather this wasn't the most popular or pleasant stable to watch sometimes, the Bullet Club is forever legendary and revolutionized a lot of stuff in wresting. I know a lot of people that started watching New Japan and indy stuff because of BC and the brand became very popular, I mean, I can't stand the t-shirt no more lol. But jokes aside, the stable deserves all the praise for being influential in literally every company and producing nice stories, matches and moments for wrestling. Not my favorite but perfectly influential."

[8.0] "They're united because... reasons. Syuri and MIRAI are great and Ami has been pretty good so far but this stable is very boring and has done nothing to make me interested. It's still in its infancy so they have time to turn it around but for now God's Eye sticks out like a sore thumb in a promotion with 5 top class units. Edit: They've become a fun little group which while isn't as good as other units is still pretty cool. The addition of Saki Kashima cements it as being the group of goofballs who can also absolutely wreck you when they want to."

Shiga's getting his feet wet too, but largely these three get us going for some excitement that soon came in NOAH."

[3.0] "The idea? Solid. Execution? horrid. I think the idea of a stable of disgruntled underdogs and people who believe they have been screwed over and forgotten about by the top talent and the most recognized of a wrestling promotion is a good idea if done with the best of booking. But, of course, this is WCW in the year 2000 with Vince Russo being the main person behind it. First of all, these guys should have been faces, or literally anything that *isn't* heel. Sure, you're pitting them against your most popular talent, people that the audience are going to root for, but surely you can book your stable of underappreciated talent in a way that can elevate everyone involved? Certainly putting all the top guys into a stable together regardless of their original alignments doesn't help anything either. Secondly, look at the members that are in the New Blood. Granted, not all of them are bad workers, in fact you have some that are considered hall of fame worthy, or at least really good and/or underrated in hindsight. People like Jeff Jarret, Shane Douglas, Mike Awesome, Billy Kidman, Crowbar, Kanyon, Chris Candido, etc. There was a lot of good talent here, just ignore the booking of each of them and their gimmicks at the time. But, there was also a ton of people in the New Blood where it was obvious why they weren't ever gonna be top of the card, or were even good to begin with. Horace Hogan, Disco Inferno (who, granted, isn't the worst but definitely wasn't material), The Wall, David Flair, etc. The stable was bloated to begin with, and was already seen as a joke that was going to end prematurely and with no fanfare. You could have chosen 10 of the best in this lineup and kick everyone else out and it would've been improved tenfold. It's just another example of Vince Russo quite literally being the dumbest booker of all time."

[0.0] "Nobody in this group other than Cole has the slightest bit of charisma or is a believable main eventer, and him being injured has just killed any potential they have. The devil angle is one of the worst things AEW has done. Also, nothing they've done has made any sense. They debut as supposedly a big heel faction, but they set up the group's eventual breakup in their first promo, and now they're just... there."

[2.0] "F*** this gimmick, too cringe, the best thing that happened to Swerve is that he fired this stable in 2021, because otherwise he would be stuck in a stable full of jobbers and become one too, Swerve Strickland can now become world champion in AEW, Ashantee will do a tag with Cedric Alexander who has potential, B-Fab teamed up with Bobby Lashley and Street Profits and AJ Francis.....it was fine but apparently he is gonna make a stable with Velveteen Dream on the indies then success for Swerve, Ashantee and B-Fab but F*** Aj Francis."

[4.0] "If it didn't have Devil's lore and was formed with a heel turn by Adam Cole on MJF it would be a thousand times better, if it was just a stable of four guys being aggressive and arrogant heels it would already be good, it didn't need Devil's lore or Wardlow who doesn't seem to need to be in the stable, Wardlow doesn't need the Undisputed Kingdom and the Undisputed Kingdom doesn't need Wardlow."

tlaustin wrote about CCK :
[9.0] "This was my introduction to all three of these wrestlers and they all became industry mainstays since, with Brookes in particular going on to be one of Japan's top gaijin stars. This was a great stable, probably too short lived. I feel a profound urge to go revisit this years later, and that should say a lot for how important it was for the time and place."

[9.0] "Serious, comedy, and a sarcastic punk-themed threat no matter what the situation calls for is. This Brookes-led sorta heel 4th wall breaking stable is currently hovering around the top of DDT, largely thanks to how well Brookes plays off the current champ Yuki Ueno. I am loving what they are doing right now, and how versatile they are anywhere on the card--not an easy feat, considering what DDT does."

[5.0] "A shell of the old DAMNATION stable. The booking and quality of the matches for these guys lately just hasn't been great and it's really a shame... and it at least partially is to blame on the wrestlers themselves. Not every stable can be at the top, but it's really unfortunate when you look at a group and see how it -could- work, and it just doesn't. I keep watching their matches and hope they become more."

[10.0] "Man, how can people actually dislike this group. I swear these people weren't watching when suzuki-gun were exactly like this and it shows, what made suzuki-gun great was the sense of brotherhood and the same things applies to HOT. EVIL is an amazing leader and a great wrestler when motivated, Togo is Togo, unreal guy words cannot describe his value. Yujiro fits in like a glove and he finally has a home where he can finally shine. Kanemaru is the heel master, of course he fits in well here. My MVPs for this group are Narita and SHO though, both guys are such good heels and just massive pricks. Jack Perry does not exist to me, I do not care. But the faction is awesome, great at getting heat, fun interference spots and it's amazing when they get their comeuppance. If you hate HOT you hate fun, they're incredible."

[6.0] "Army Of Darkness featuring the most cursed couple in wrestling history. Many managers, a taskmaster with his master in a dark stet and yes bad ass promos near the sea! The lock came from the ocean & Jake Roberts had the warped mind to control his opponents such as Brian Belair, Ron Bass and taped fists against the American dream Dusty Rhodes. It was a horror show but more legit than the predecessor dungeon of doom."

[6.0] "Not as well remembered as the second faction that helped make The Rock become a huge star. Crush and Savio Vega just wasn't great to watch in this group and ultimately this ended up being a short lived run before the split. They had their moments with that crazy Wrestlemania Street Fight and most of the feud with Ahmed Johnson was very entertaining. Ultimately though, this iteration had an obvious short shelf life."

[2.0] "Every single match of theirs is the same. Everyone in the stable wrestles the same. They're all cowardly '90s style American heels minus the cool factor and charisma. If this were isolated to just one or two guys - EVIL, Dick Togo, maybe Kanemaru - it would be tolerable. But there's really no excuse for wasting Ren Narita and SHO in their physical primes with this nonsense. I hope the domestic t-shirt sales are good 'cause these guys actively make shows a chore to watch."

[4.0] "Bullet Club has no doubt overstayed its welcome. The first few years was great, hell, it was better than that. It essentially morphed into AEW, which is quite amazing when you think about it. The Bullet Club name took over professional wrestling for a little while, which is just incredible when you take into account it's just some faction in NJPW. What made it become bigger and better was the fact it was filled with some top level talent that eventually moved onto bigger and better things. It had a place in wrestling for a period, but now it has absolutely become a shell of its former self. It has just become a faction that's going off it's name rather than the actual people in it. It's highly unlikely they will ever get "big" again as a faction, and it'll never reach the heights it hit during the mid-late 2010s. Have to give it 4 points though, it wasn't anything crazy or original, it had a lot of good talent and really did take on a life of its own, but the fact they haven't really just shut down the stable after all this time is really hindering it."

You had two talented hall of fame worthy women (and Paige) matched together to have a feud with Sasha's stable and the Bellas with Alicia Fox and it ended up doing literally nothing for any of the women involved. The end of this feud saw Paige turning on Charlotte and having a feud which also went nowhere. This could have been something, but as was always the case before this stable, WWE and properly booking women didn't go together."

Mandy grew into a good champion with her matches against Zoey and Meiko/Blair being great. Gigi and Jacy had some good tag matches with Dakota/Raquel, Io/Zoey, Katana/Kayden, and Roxanne/Wendy.

Bennett and Taven are just there. Ironically, Roddy is probably the strongest of this group, and that isn't saying much at all to be honest."

They are very high energy, are usually capable of getting the crowd into what theyre doing, on top of having a solid set of fundamentals. They do still get a bit lost at times, and perhaps are a bit too reliant on the horn for crowd engagement. Id say give it another year or two to get the last of the kinks out of their act, and theyll be soaring. So long as they still have their adolescent looks, theyll be golden with this gimmick."

A good execution of the realistic cult premise while still having that BC demeanor to them, they've become probably the most hated heel group in all of current pro wrestling and they're damn good at keeping that heat. Hopefully the addition of Ren Narita, and SHO & Kanemaru's breakout work in the jr. division is a sign of bigger and better things than whole team interferences in almost every match.

A feud in which we saw a ladder match involving Dusty. As you could think it was horrible. Erik Watts was trying to get on Jarrett's head and even tried to kill him with a car.

[9.0] "I understand the HoT as an entertaining unit and think that they know their role well, bringing the mix of very good heel work and middle class comedy. Last year was definitely the year when House of Torture recreated themselves, began to add to the group perfect heel Kanemaru and newest rising star Narita, who must join them (I don't click in the Shibata-like gimmick). Jack Perry's addition to the group is also very curious decision, in my opinion: his character in AEW had the HoT tricks and he fits them well. Maybe, they don't need the titles, but that booking decisions allow to put HoT's opponents in the best light, recent matches (SHO vs. Naito or EVIL vs. Shota, for example) only proves that point. I'm sure that HoT will continue their recruitments in near future and maybe sooner or later we'll see the new members - one or two - in their corner."

[2.0] "This faction is flavorless white meat chicken, served bone dry with a glass of water to wash it down. Taven and Bennett are lower card guys who get squashed even when they're holding belts. Roddy was entertaining for a minute until the schtick ran dry and now he lacks anything to offer that a whole lot of other dudes on the roster can't do much better. Wardlow just bores me now, he's had too many opportunities already. Cole is the only credible member, but looks unfortunately tragic being pushed around in a wheelchair."

Their music played on the most recent Dynamite and I was interested in who was coming out then realized "Ohhhh them", then I stopped caring. I think they rank above at least the Pinnacle because they appear as a team more than once in a blue moon. But outside of that entire idea, this is a waste of an idea."

[3.0] "I must say, they really are one of the most successful female groups in WWE, but Mandy's sudden firing exposed every member of TA as nothing without each other. Mandy being the leader doesn't make sense either, given the fact that she's the worst wrestler out of the members. Then there's Gigi, who disappointingly regressed in the ring, and finally, there's Jacy, who's just... there. The fall of this group also led to the sudden downfall of every members, especially Gigi and Jacy right now. I don't see either of them making it big, they are nothing without Mandy. They already peaked during their time as a team, and I doubt they can climb back to the top of the division, especially with a roster full of talented and future stars."

Then Brodie Lee died and they became de facto babyfaces and their whole thing became "remember Brodie Lee? isn't it sad how he died so tragically young? please cheer us now". This was fine I guess. Probably the highlight of the stable's history was their relationship with Adam Page. Now they're heels again and down to just three very OK wrestlers who do a good job when AEW needs some warm bodies for a babyface to pin. You could do worse than The Dark Order but you sure as shit can do a lot better too."

Matt Taven & Bennett cool they finally doing stuff but they aint interesting, Roderick Strong had a good couple month stretches of how entertaining he was then start to overuse the same shtick, and lastly I personally like Wardlow but they have not booked him well ever since 2022 just been in hot potato with the TNT Championship and just disappeared then reappeared has done nothing since. The group gonna be stale obviously until the pending return of MJF but man this group right now sucks. I doubt this group gets interesting and one more thing was what the point of attacking Jay White, Hangman Adam Page and The Acclaimed if they dropped that storyline like this whole thing is one big mess in my opinion a flop / failure on AEW Part."

All their matches had the same shenanigans, and even though two of them were champions, those were probably the most nothing championship reign aew has had. Matches wise it was the worst moment for all three, it looked like they were impossible to give a half good match, while also being annoying constantly. The break up was so bad as well, it happened, then it did not, then Toni Storm left but like, they did not do a single thing with it, then it just broke, is wild that the best thing to come out of this group was Toni Storm losing the title to reinvent herself."

[0.0] "This stable has nothing interesting and no any fucking sense. Jay White was the top gaijin of biggest Japanese promotion of this era, he got heat while speaking english just because of his way of talking. Even only this shows what kinda top heel potential Jay White has. The Gunns are one of the few teams that has future in this business and will carry tag team wrestling. They are amazingly annoying both in and outside the ring and being in Bullet Club Gold perfectly suited them. Juice probably will join this idiotic Attitude Era sort of act when he returns but I hope he will not do that because dude was becoming a huge star and this can crush his credibility. The Acclaimed was popular before this like always and didn't need this too. This wacky nonsense only happened because our 21st century Herb Abrams had no idea about what to do with his full of potential young five talent that are in a stable together and doing pretty good even with your inadequate booking. I hope this bullshit ends soon and we get our beautiful Bullet Club Gold back with the way we and them deserve."

tlaustin wrote about Damage CTRL:
[8.0] "I really like what Damage CTRL has become: an invasion of previously mistreated non-US wrestlers sick of the way they've been handled by WWE in the past. They represent such a dynamic shift in the presentation of women's wrestling in the WWE, and though it was a bit of a rocky road to get there, Damage CTRL's biggest moments I think have also been WWE's biggest moments for 2023/2024. Bayley's neutral-turn, Io cashing in, Kairi's poisoning of the well have all been fascinating story beats to watch slowly unfold. The only reason I don't give this a higher score is because Dakota's injury clearly sidelined the group's momentum and, though their story ended up in a great place despite it, hurt the overall narrative thus far. Either way, the journey's been great, they are all incredible wrestlers, and I think there's still a lot more waiting for them in the future."

[7.0] "I'm not sure if a team can be more "your mileage may vary" than these Rob Zombie-esque pig clowns. If you don't have a love of fat monster guys--very literal, in this case, as they are all pig-mask clowns--in colorful costumes doing comedy/hardcore matches, its very easy to give them a low score. If you are down with that (or just able to look past it) they are a stable of wrestlers that know their gimmicks well and are also surprisingly adept when they choose to be. Pure charisma machines with bursts of agility. I have not seen a match of theirs yet that I would call a classic or could even recommend, because so much of what they do is crowd control. But as a spectacle, there's not really much less like these guys right now, and I love them for the fact they've carved their own niche out."
