[10.0] "Ringkampf is like WWE's Imperium currently but at its peak and one of the best independent factions of all-time. We had some great moments and matches and every single member mattered. A missed stable that left a mark in the European Wrestling scene."

[9.0] "MAD BLANKEY has to be one of the silliest names for a faction in history but MAN they were GOOD! Very entertaining and charismatic and everytime they were on a show they were bound to have highlights. A really fun faction overall."

[6.0] "The Von Erichs are and still are on of the most infamous families in professional wrestling history but a family plagued with darkness and despair throughout. Most of the members were good while others never really lived up to their potential and ended up being wasted. Overall on it's own The Von Erich Family were decent at best but suffered from in-real life issues and deaths."

[9.0] "DAMNATION is a damn great faction that is not talked about enough in the wrestling world. A great mix of comedy and professional wrestling makes this whole stable legendary in terms of DDT stables and in the world of Japanese professional wrestling. Amazing heels."

[9.0] "The Four Horseman has to go down in history as one of the most charismatic and most well-rounded stables in the history of professional wrestling. Every member of this stable has meaning and purpose in the group and they brought meaning and purpose to the booking for NWA."

[10.0] "Los Ingobernables de Japon as of now is the BEST NJPW stable currently! Even better than the Bullet Club which is shocking considering Bullet Club is the main driving force for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Los Ingobernables de Japon has so many great members and such great storytelling and booking, it's no wonder that they go so strong in 2024."

[7.0] "As of 2024, The Bullet Club is still running fairly well overall and still has that level of prestige and importance to New Japan Pro Wrestling but it hasn't been at it's peak since Jay White left for AEW and taking hits like Kenny Omega & Cody and The Young Bucks, etc. David Finlay runs the faction and he's basically a ripoff Jay White now and they book the Bullet Club poorly sometimes so as of now it's still good but suffers from some booking issues."

[3.0] "The Undisputed Kingdom has to go down as one of the worst factions in AEW history and the worst storyline in AEW history. The storyline dragged on WAYYY too long and when the reveal came it was an auraless Adam Cole who was injured so it just felt meh and then the stagnant booking after is killing their push."

[9.0] "Even as a David Finlay defender I must admit the group having a weird dynamic where 2/4 members are more charismatic than the leader gets a little weird as Gabriel Kidd and Drilla Moloney often times find themselves stealing the spotlight. On the other hand it's the most focused version of the group (love ya Jay but your BC got a bit out of hand) we've had in a while and they've expanded on the frat boy gimmick to include why they're this way despite their LADOJO training. Hopefully Finlay gets some more reps in on the mic as he's a good wrestler but overall good faction."

[9.0] "They are (no pun intended) undisputedly the best stable in NXT history, and there will never be another stable like them in that brand either. All wrestlers had great matches in the group and played their part in being the top villainous heels of NXT."

[2.0] "To quote a line from one of the greatest movies of all time: "Look how they massacred my boy! " Aside I never cared for The Acclaimed (even at their peak in popularity) or The Gunn Club, I'm more upset that they've dragged down Jay White. This man's AEW run has been going downhill since his MJF feud, minus his performance in the Continental Classic, and this shows it. Jay White shouldn't be a comedy guy involved in a DX styled faction with their unfunny immature humor and should be one of their top stars. If this faction was just The Acclaimed and The Gunn Club (even though they were paired at one point and split up for whoever knows why), I wouldn't have cared enough to give it attention, but dragging Jay White down would be like taking CM Punk and putting him in the Spirit Squad or something. Overall, I don't care for this faction and hope Jay goes solo and leaves behind this garbage."

[0.0] "House of Torture is essentially the result of regurgitating the worst parts of NWO 2000, but the worst offender of this stable is that it has permanently damaged all the potential SHO and EVIL had as performers. All their matches are riddled with the laziest and shittiest American-style heel interferenes, which perplexes me that a guy like Gedo who was so ahead of everyone during his booking work in the 2010's, now has started to take influence from (arguably) one of the worst aspects of American wrestling. I hope this stable is disassociated in the most unceremonious way possible, as that would be the only fitting end for this atrocious stable and anything more glorifying would be a disappointment and undeserved."

[6.0] "Without a doubt, this faction is intriguing right from the start. While its too early to rate them, theyve clearly been dominating the tag division. Well have to see how things unfold in the upcoming months. Considering the amount of work they've been putting in will indeed influence my final rating. A rating of 6 seems reasonable, especially considering that only AOP seems to have been actively contributing to the The Final Testaments efforts so far."

[] "Based on the name, if this was Vince's idea of trying to parody "Charlie's Angels", he failed horrendously and miserably. That's literally all I can say about it."

[6.0] "An interesting stable, they certainly have the talent to back themselves up but the lack of a mouthpiece hurts them. WWE isnt lacking for heel stables between the Judgement Day, the Bloodline, the Final Prayer or Imperium, so for the Pride to find a spot to squeeze into is proving difficult and beyond beating on some midcard baby faces they have trouble gaining heat; If theyre even being booked as heels anymore since their feud with Kross Final Prayer group. That being said, I do love the more serious, business focused characters of Ford and Dawkins, and seeing more Bobby is always a plus. Overall, while the booking is a little wonky, I like the Pride and I have high hopes for them."

[1.0] "I'm still in shock of how awful this stable truly was, from the booking, to the Go-Away heat, to almost every bad skit drawn up and put on TV whether it would be in matches or segments, this faction/gimmick is incredibly awful. The Outcasts will go down as the WORST stable in AEW history, next to QTV (a less relevant but seemingly just-as-bad stable in it's own right), and is a legitimate contender for the WORST faction of the 2020s decade thus far. Got to give credit to one person who was the only one worth watching from the stable both before, during and after, which is Toni Storm, her solid in ring work along with her incredibly good character work from after she left will make people like me remember her less in this awful stable and remember more of her really good 'Timeless' character which came after she left (even if some fans don't like that character, I do so that's my opinion there). Ruby Soho was just an afterthought completely in this stable, and was often used as the "annoying weak link" which really made her forgettable in this stable, but maybe the WORST person and part of this stable was Saraya, who I have never liked and many share the same sentiment, she seemed to drag down this stable every time it was on TV, and she was treated like the "real major star" because of her past career being incredibly overhyped by certain agenda pushers. Saraya's presence made this group almost near unwatchable for me as she usually does with just about everything she is involved in, as I often call her Vickie Guerrero 2.0, and the "best" (more like lesser bad) timeframe of this group was when it was just Ruby and Toni in that June stretch of AEW Television. I seriously hope that this faction fades out of the mainstream AEW Women's Division as it is the biggest joke I ever saw and this circus was a trainwreck from start to middle to finish."

[10.0] "Yeah everything about this faction is good, seriously I don't get why but EVERYTHING they do work and they have an incredible chemistry between them, but also with the public. Seriously in EVERY show (even AEW or TNA) you can see Chase U t-shirts. They're awesome"

[4.0] "Useless stable that exemplifies AEW just going for dream matches and dream stables without a coherent plan. This group did nothing of interest really, and especially nothing to elevate any of its members (giving a belt to wheeler yuta doesnt mean he's over now). The one thing they managed to do is make me not care about Danielson, which to be honest is a genuinely impressive feat. It maybe doesnt help that their whole gimmick is "look how tough we are" and the leader is Moxley which is the epitome of a fake tough guy"

[10.0] "These guys are so entertaining, its hard to hate them. Marty Snow is a guaranteed superstar, and his crowd work and as big as he is, he is very agile and quick with a black belt in martial arts. Midas is my all time favorite member, as he is a lot like MJF. His work with the crowd and his overall wrestling style is great. Nolan Knight is a bonafide upcoming star. His moveset and his personality is one of the best in PWL."

[0.0] "The end game to this is obvious, however, I don't care. This was not needed to happen and is A bad idea, are they trying to ruin BCG? Jay White was just challenging for the world title and now he's doing.. this. The Acclaimed are also extremely cold, this group sucks."

[9.0] "A really unique stable for the current WWE. I'm afraid they don't have a bright future in the main roster, but they're the real stars in NXT. Funny, interesting, charismatic. Please, don't go to the main roster"

[6.0] "I feel like The Bang Bang Scissor Gang were brought together by a common goal. The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn as well as Bullet Club Gold, they were on The Undisputed Kingdom's hitlist in their quest to take MJF out of the picture, and now they've come together (Billy Gunn has reunited his sons in the process) to take down The Undisputed Kingdom even though they outnumber them. But with The Undisputed Kingdom preoccupied with Orange Cassidy & Best Friends at the moment, it just feels like The Bang Bang Scissor Gang merely exist currently, they're just there. Which is unfortunate because normally The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass, Bullet Club Gold, they're hot acts on their own, and The Bang Bang Scissor Gang could be a hot act with all of them combined as one unit no doubt, but sticking them in a 12 man tag against random opponents and floundering certainly doesn't do any of those guys any favors especially "Switchblade" Jay White knowing full well the huge level of star power he once had in NJPW."

[7.0] "This stable lasted for 17 months. (In comparison, Dark Order is 4 years and 9 months old, 4 years and 4 months from the start of weekly AEW programming.) It may have overstayed its welcome a little, but that is generally true of every stable: one doesn't change a story line while its working. In terms of putting members over, both Daniel Garcia and Matt Menard benefitted from membership in this stable, and it gave Anna Jay an escape route from the Dark Order. I would grant that Angelo Parker and Jake Hager really haven't "benefitted" from the group, but both are natural "background guys:" i.e. they are best in a medium-to-large stable heel. They are adequate in the ring, and can get some words in on a promo (Parker more than Hager), but can't really stand out on their own. Hager, Menard, and Parker are all around 40, and getting to the point in their careers when they should be pivoting to promoting younger talent, rather than receiving their own pushes. Sammy Guevara seems to naturally belong in this group, due to his continual association with Chris Jericho. I think Guevara *should* be able to get out of Chris Jericho's shadow: he has enough charisma and ring ability. But, I think he's being held back a bit at the moment by having too much crowd sympathy. Likewise, Tay Melo is going to be in whatever stable Sammy Guevara is due to the fact they they are married and have a strong social media presence. One weak point of this stable is the survival of a rump "Post-Jericho Appreciation Society" consisting of Garcia, Menard, Parker, and Hager. As as this writing, this rump stable has lasted for 7 months. Garcia & Menard is closer than "just friends" especially for faces, and they are still cutting promos together. They should either disband or form a formal stable, so that the casual viewer knows what is going on more easily. That being said, the JAS was formally disbanded, which is a plot point which is sometimes neglected."

[0.0] "A poor excuse to bring together two teams that have nothing to do with each other. Apparently Acclaimed was starting to get boring on its own and they decided it was a good idea to pair them up with other guys who have never had a decent match. That can be seen in the later shows where they are simply used in random matches without any meaning. They didn't seem good to me before and they don't seem good to me now."

[6.0] "They have good chemistry with each other, and have pulled off some impressive manuevers. It all depends on how they'll actually interact with the Undisputed Kingdom. I understand the real life reasons for why they haven't quite made a move yet since the Undispited Kingdom are busy with a storyline against Orange Cassidy, so at the moment, it's too soon to give them a rating. I'll just give tham a 6 as a placeholder for now."

[6.0] "People take a mid card stable way too seriously, it gives all of the guys something to do and some direction before they all clearly fall out and have a programme."

[0.0] "This rating is just for the name. Like bruh, Tony needs to look out for things like this. He can't just let this pass."

[4.0] "The Group was the stable formed by Steve Corino to take control of ROH. The Group had the same purpose and used the exact arguments as Christopher Daniels Prophecy, which lead to a feud between the stables. It started really strong, cause Corino was soon portraited as the top heel of the company and he stealed two members of the Prophecy: Samoa Joe and Simply Luscious. Corino's feud with Homicide also got importance and got more violent with those infamous riots between Homicide's street gang and the Group. Those riots lead to some bad matches in the form of a six man tag of Homicide and Da Hit Squad vs some of the members of the Group, CW Anderson, Michael Shane and Samoa Joe. And more important, the horrible main event of Epic Encounter, the bunhouse brawl with Dusty Rhodes. It was horrible and I had no interest on it. The only good thing is that Julius Smoke is now a part of ROH. At that time, Michael Shane also throw the first punch at the Prophecy, so their feud got more attention. The problem with it was that both faction relied on talent that was normally booked on Japan and couldn't attend the shows. That lead to a mediocre Losing Faction Must Disband Six Man Tag Team, in which even Corino wasn't there (cause he was in prision), and wasn't the best main event on ROH history. The Group could have been a great faction, but doe to the Japan bookings, in the end was another stable that went wrong and could have been more."

[7.0] "Love Otis and Gable. The additions of Maxxine and Tozawa have given those two something to do but they haven't helped the act be taken seriously. Tozawa is used as a comedy act and while Dupri works well as a valet she is not good in the ring at this point in her career."

[9.0] "Most interesting faction in New Japan today. If Finlay clicks/gets replaced they will be a 10 honestly"

[0.0] "This faction could get better, but it all started with one of the worst storylines in AEW short history, after Worlds End they were supposed to be the biggest heel faction in AEW but it doesn't feel like that, it feels like another midcard faction, woth Adam Cole injured and MJF gone this faction feels pointless, we are supposed to take this group seriously but The Kingdom and Roddy are still doing the same thing the were doing before Roddy taking of the neck brace, and Wardlow is once again in a faction and as of now he is just doing the same thing that Killswitch is doing with Christian"

[10.0] "The Super Generation Army is the most important faction in All Japan Pro Wrestling's history. This does not just mean their singles matches, but the multi-man tag matches between the S.G.A and Tsuruta-Gunn are the perfect long-term torch passing that all promotions hope to have between generations."

[8.0] "Everyone involved has played a great role so far, with Christian arguably being in his best run, Nick Wayne having a lot of potential with his current character, and the dynamic with Luchasaurus and the rest of the group being pretty interesting. I feel like as of writing this, they have not had enough feuds to truly judge their rating, but in its first few months it has been very good"

[10.0] "The best faction in modern wwe. Their natural heel abilities just make them so compelling and intriguing to watch. Easy to hate them, but goddamn once you become familiar they become much much harder to hate on. Aside from all that, all of them (for the most part) have all worked incredible in ring as well. Im also loving the r truth storyline."

[8.0] "a mix of good potential, technique, and a fair dose of raucous comedy. these four work well together and have a decent heat from the audience and entertain. one of the best things on NXT"

[3.0] "Its barely been over a month and this faction is already ice cold as a faction. AEW has had its share of big misses with other former factions like The Firm and the Nightmare Collective and unfortunately it feels like this one might be heading towards that level. Its a shame considering how long and how much of a major storyline this group emerged from but due to injuries it really affected any plans for this from the outside looking in."

[8.0] "I am giving it an 8 because I loved it when Sami Zayn was in the group. I personally think the group has run it's course. They haven't done anything refreshing since the Sami storyline ended. It was good for a while, but now it's like a TV show that just won't end. Some people are still enjoying it, but I think it's just gotten boring."

[5.0] "They have a lot of charisma, but in ring wise they are lacking. I feel like they are basicaly a low budget Randerspagne, coming short in just about every category. In one of the two teams matches they even did a cheer test, and I think management thought easy lovers was gonna win it because EL got the face role, but the crowd cheered a lot louder at Randerspagne. So to me they don't give me anything Randerspagne can't give me, and it certainly doesn't go the otherway around."

[8.0] "VLNCE UNLTD mounted together had a great trio team build to them, bound over violence and being independent. The biggest success was Tony Deppen defeating Hot Sauce Tracy Williams for the World Television Championship defended it for over 2 months. Brody King became the biggest name during and after the team was formed. A badass faction who had gods hate tracks as the intro, no heroes, no villains, just violence."

[8.0] "I'd actually like the Wyatt Family, it's unfortunate that the group broke up too soon, and Wyatt & Harper sadly passed. I loved when they feuded with John Cena, especially during the time when John Cena was putting out classics around 2014/2016. Another thing I like about the Wyatt Family is that all four men have one of the best theme songs around. I like Luke Harper's and Erick Rowan's theme song the most. They were also the most fearsome stable of the modern WWE era."

[8.0] "Legado del Fantasma aka the stacked team of excellent players and performers. Far gone is the tradition LWO colours and the old school LDF style, it is about glory, violence and yes Santos Escobars legacy being created. Elektra Lopez aka the headliner of the desire no doubt a kickass manager. Angel Garza who is part of the energetic bloodline of talent like Hector before him. Humberto who is a fantastic luchador who is tall and very incredibly handsomely gifted."

[6.0] "I can't rate them any higher because they sadly didn't last very long. If only Punk could've learned interpersonal skills they would still be a team."

[9.0] "Genuinely the most interesting Bullet Club has been since its AJ Styles-led heyday. Like the United Empire, any tag match featuring the War Dogs is absolute gold. Kidd is a future main eventer, Coughlin is an amazing powerhouse brawler perfect for the tag and NEVER scene, Moloney plays his role as a jacked junior lunatic perfectly, and Connors is great as his tag partner. The only weak link is their leader, Finlay, but he's starting to find his footing, especially in the multi-man tag matches. If Finlay really starts upping the intensity in singles competition, like Kidd and Moloney have done, this will become a 10/10 faction. War Dogs fucking rule."

[8.0] "This faction was at one point my favorite thing on TV key word "one point" because after Regal left this group just fell apart to the point where I only really care about is Danielson and Yuta. But that peak that they were on is what gives them this 8."

[6.0] "One of the biggest examples of wasted potential in AEW. Once they started building towards the Exalted One they had some great presentation and intrigue going on that really popped off with Brodie Lee taking the helm. Momentum was mostly very strong for a while (aside from everyone on the roster constantly refusing to join) up through the Dynamite where they completely dominated the show, ending with Brodie destroying the TNT belt as the entire Nightmare Family lay broken in the ring before them, only to have the rug pulled right out from under them in the coming weeks with the good ol' Codyverse coming through to help him get the title back. Ever since then - with the exception of their work with Hangman - they've felt like a weak, directionless joke of a team despite Silver/Reynolds being such a damn good tag team and Uno proving time and time again that he's a fantastic storyteller. The fact that their story with Hangman and the Elite never went anywhere after that phenomenal Trios Title match is an absolute travesty. The 10 heel turn fell so flat for what should have been an emotional moment considering his ties with -1 of all people, but him joining LFI made absolutely 0 sense considering their place on the card and motivation for doing so. Hopefully they get better booking going forward because the core trio deserve so much more than what they've been given."

[2.0] "Sadly didnt deliver, got a case of bad timing due to the ROH landscape getting an amputation of talent jumping to form the company who purchased them years later. Juice Robinson would be a massive star in NJPW, David Finlay being the first ever global champion for NJPW, Tenille gone on to have a better run in Impact, Tracy Williams would be the biggest success story in the group to be the first double champ winning both in the same anniversary event for ROH. Bandido would become ROH World champion where he had transformed after the groups dissolution. And my guy Mark Haskins ever since leaving the group seriously took him a while to get on track. Shame because im a bigger fan of his than any of the others. Huge failure that has aged horribly."

[5.0] "More break ups, fallings out and making up than an episode of Celebrity Love Island. Somehow they have been going forever and it isn't exactly easy to remember who is currently in it. It all seems kind of pointless these days."

[9.0] "Would have been a 10 if he wasnt for the group being stake since Summerslam and losing Jey USO but they revived a ever declining Wrestling scene there cannot be greater accomplishment in one wrestler or in that case stable career"

[7.0] "All the best trios are affiliated with Satan. Solid rudo team that make good bases for the technicos to show their stuff."

[7.0] "The most in ring talent any stable in WCW had, shame they were more of a joke than a threat. Great chance for Eddie to shine and draw more of a spotlight on guys like La Parka."

[10.0] "Incredible work nailing down the lucharesu style, while also perfecting dickish heel antics. Dick Togo posing on top of an opponents back is iconic. KDX vs Michinoku Pro is peak pro-wrestling."

[10.0] "God bless The Von Erichs. They were rock stars in Texas. I'm currently watching the World Class promotion from start to finish on the WWE Network on Peacock. They were better than WWE in the early '80s. Kerry was the most marketable, Kevin was the best all-around, Mike was terrible in-ring, David was ok, Chris just didn't have the size. And say what you will about Lance Von Erich. It's perfectly fine revisionist history to say that he wasn't a real Von Erich and he killed the territory, but from my recollection as a kid, he was over like rover and no one really cared about them "exposing" him on TV. Fritz seemed like a petty man. After reading Lance's book, I fully understand why he wouldn't want to stay in a promotion where he was barely scraping by financially and decided to move on. Loved this group of wrestlers."

[10.0] "The modern day equivalent of the Four Horsemen, but with two clear aces instead of one centerpiece. Best termed as guys who are nerdy about violence."

[8.0] "A rough start but eventually it get to a sweat spot. A wide diverse pool of wrestlers all around the world is a great concept and their individuality, especially GOK, Cobb, and Catch 22 shined really well. With Ospreay and Aussie Open gone, on top of the fast expansion, this faction at this moment in time might be entering a mini-crisis. Hopefully they get back on track soon."

[7.0] "It's good, but I can't view it more than a lesser version of Bad Influence. the BTE skits are good i suppose. They all didnt really get anywhere after the initial tag title run."

[10.0] "1 is Taka, 2 is Taichi, 3 is Douki, Sanada is the 4th guy. Just 5 Guys reciting Yuya Uemura is the making of a great talent. Yoshinobu Kanemaru even was a good competitor in the group constructing his technical style that had made a second lifeline of his jr career. Even in a house. Altogether in making change, drive and the KOPW title made to run through the crowd in arms. Just a faction into A ONCE IN A LIFETIME STABLE."

[9.0] "This team had some great talent such as Teddy Hart, Eric Young, Petey Williams and Bobby Roode. D'amore was a very entertaining manager and seriously made me laugh with his reactions. Overall, I was both entertained by them and got to watch great matches. One of the best things TNA have put together for sure."

[10.0] "Eruption was my favorite stable in DDT. Their Aura was unparalleled and whenever they held a title in their 4-year run they elevated it. With the retirement of both Saki Akai and Yukio Sakaguchi and the disbandment of the stable, I'm very interested to see where Hideki Okatani's career will go from here."

[8.0] "A necessary evil. All of these people are talented, but individually, they're not as interesting as the rest of the roster. Together they can cause trouble for TNA mega faces like Josh, Jordynne, and the Motor City Machine Guns. Moose having lackeys, Eddie and Brian going for the tags, and Alisha and DeAngelo interfering on their behalves seems like the logical trajectory."

[9.0] "Dreadful when Edge was in charge, they've become more and more watchable since ousting him. Dom is a great addition and they've been very entertaining as of late."

[10.0] "i give it 10 points since i see high potential from legado world order but for now its basic but it will be good in the very near future and thats no lie"

[5.0] "I don't enjoy House Of Torture matches usually, but I know that I'm not supposed to. Their style definitely can lead to some absolute bangers, like the 2023 G1 match between EVIL and Shingo, but usually, HoT matches are really cold. They are at their best when they boil absolute piss and they seem like the only force in all of New Japan capable of doing so, so I gotta hand that to them."

[3.0] "what is chaos? what is its purpose? do they ever act as a faction outside of multimen matches? what is its gimmick? what advantages does it bring to a wrestler joining them? is a wrestler's affiliation to the stable ever addressed in a meaningful context? all questions with no answers. absolutely pointless stable that just serves to sell some more merch"

[] "Immortal was everything wrong with US wrestling stables. nwo wannabe check, to many members that would randomly join and leave the stable check, no real story and just kind of goes away check. Washed up old hacks using young talent to carry them check."

[10.0] "The best stable in NXT history, all about brotherhood, all about how much they can dominate this division, this might also be the best wrestling faction of the decade, it's litterally perfection from head to toes."

[3.0] "Although the Bloodline in it's prime was one of the most riveting storylines in the wrestling world, the existence of the Bloodline feels incredibly redundant post-summerslam. It's ironic that the faction's promos have been considered cinema as now all of the characters have essentially being flanderized in the worst possible way. In the case of Roman Reigns he's essentially just become someone who's become so weak at this point, he can't do nothing by himself is basically like an addict who needs his fix of bloodline interference just to get by. Paul has essentially become someone who just licks Roman's arse completely while acting like he's a fighting champion when he's been reduced to someone who defends once every blue moon and can't retain without help. Solo has almost completely lost all personality altogether and has just been reduced to an uncharismatic mute. Jimmy just seems to hang about now just because WWE didn't have the balls to end the storyline when it should have ended. Ultimately, while there might be more fonder bloodline memories in retrospect, if things carry on the way they current are then, the faction as a whole might be remembered as a faction that outstayed it's welcome while doubling down on what made people dislike it in the first place."

[5.0] "Man, this ratings are harsh. I'm not a fan of Tama Tonga, I think Tanga Loa seems like a great guy but horrible wrestler, and I don't know what Jado adds to any faction, but I like having El Phantasmo around and I think he's helping Hikuleo become a more charismatic wrestler, which seems to be important since NJPW sees something in him that the fans apparently don't."

[8.0] "A good stable with several great members, but Will Ospreay outshines all of them. Thats not to say theyre bad wrestlers, but it feels a little odd at times. He either needs to break away or pull them up with him, I feel."

[8.0] "Das Kabinett von JBL machte jedes Mitglied um Welten glaubwürdiger als sie es allein jemals werden hätten können. Es passte einfach alles perfekt ins Bild und so lebten alle von der Gruppendynamik. Die Hauptaufgabe von Orlando Jordan und den Bashams bestand eigentlich darin JBLs WWE Titel mit allen Mitteln zu verteidigen und meist mussten sie in den Promos als Handlanger und Sandsäcke herhalten, während sich JBL geschickt aus der Affäre zog oder sich die Hände nicht schmutzig machen wollte. Der ganze Stab erfüllte seine Aufgabe und ließ den damaligen WWE Champion JBL umso wichtiger und einflussreicher erscheinen. Den Höhepunkt hatte der Stable wohl nach Armageddon 2004 und zum Jahreswechsel, die Auftritte als Gruppe mit Amy Weber als Dekoration und den mittlerweilen stets gut gekleideten Bashams sowie Stabschef Orlando hievten JBL's Gimmick nochh einmal auf ein höheres Level."

[10.0] "Having seen it from it's very beginning, to it's peak power, and finally it's conclusion, I can safely say that the pro wrestling landscape is a better place because of Donna Del Mondo."

[] "This stable really has potential and I'm looking forward into future feuds. I like having Taven and Bennett in this main event stable as they were underrated in AEW until now."

[8.0] "Great stable, incredible potential here, I can definitely see Gulak and Dempsey become tag champs at some point, this stable could really be the focal point of NXT in the next years if booked right"

[8.0] "So as you can see with the ratings and comments here, a lot of nerds are getting worked. They cry and cope about House Of Torture having "go away heat" or making everyone look bad yet this faction gets heat during their matches and overall they're true heel who know how to work as actual heels, not ironic heels, not "let's have a yummy 10 stars banger" heels. Wrestlers have different roles to play in their promotions, NJPW already has a lot of "great wrestlers with fighting spirit", a lot of faces, so House Of Torture is there to bring a balance and a different dynamic to some of the matches on the card. EVIL is a great leader, charismatic on the mic and being in House Of Torture allowed him to become IWGP Heavyweight Champion, IWGP Intercontinental Champion and NEVER Openweight Champion so it has been a good move for him. Dick Togo is a good pin eater and manager. Yujiro has been a low card guy for years but he actually has a little more purpose by being in House Of Torture. SHO was cool when he was a babyface powerhouse but he was very bland character wise, since he turned heel and joined House Of Torture he gained a lot of confidence and charisma. He won the 6 man belts and the KOPW belt in a rare case of a junior beating a heavyweight, he's a good character and the crowd reacts well to him. Kanemaru is a natural heel and his turn played a great part in building the story of J5G vs HOT leading to EVIL's title match against SANADA. Ren Narita already showed more personality by being in HOT for less than a month than during his whole Shibata clone run since coming back from excursion, he's in a hot storyline of betrayal and now as a heel he has actually more chances of becoming a top guy someday. So for now every member has a purpose, they have 2 competitive heavyweights while Yujiro is the pin eater, and 2 competitive juniors while Dick Togo is the pin eater. There's a good balance to that faction, they're useful as actual heels that get heat (if you actually watch the shows, a lot of people crying about HOT probably don't) and when they're finally getting beat up it usually gets great reactions and put the babyfaces over. So all of you nerds can piss and moan all you want, the fact is they're not there to wrestle for yummy Meltzer star ratings, they're there to play a role as characters and they play it really well. They're trying everything to take shortcuts and create distractions, and it clearly works with the crowd if you're not deaf or delusional. So I give them an 8, it's a useful faction, I actually want to see them get beat up and I think it will get better with time, with Narita being built as a top guy who'll get more used to his new role."

An even without that confusing sector, the matches so bad. It has done nothing to elevate the members of the faction and the faction itself. If anything, it makes everyone look bad, a shell of their former selves, and a hinder of their progress."

[7.0] "Very intriguing group at the beginning with Edge at its head. It remained relevant for the following months, and are arguably the companys MVP for 2023. It skyrocketed Dominik Mysterios and Rhea Ripleys status as main event players for the next decade, established and re-established Damian Priest and Finn Balor as present day threats. However, its been going for too long with so many repetitive matches, storylines and finishes. They should have broken up before the JD McDonagh and R-Truth storyline because Im afraid itll tarnish their legacy as a group."

[0.0] "Retribution was so bad that it had to be done on purpose. I mean, where to begin? I guess with the name. Retribution can be defined as "the dispensing or receiving of reward or punishment especially in the hereafter". With that in mind, what recompense was this group after? As far as I can remember they never really had any goal in mind other than "cause mayhem". So then why not be called Mayhem? Or Bedlam? Or Chaos? OK maybe not that one. But maybe something actually appropriate? So they show up, wreck things, cause all this mayhem, and then they just like, get contracts? This is one of those instances where wrestling bookers think we are literal babies incapable of even the slightest critical thinking skills. Then there's the elephant in the room of this group being an obvious ersatz ANTIFA from the mind of an insane, out-of-touch 70-year-old billionaire and personal friend of Donald Trump. Nuff said on that, I think. The most egregious offense, however, was the treatment of the wrestlers themselves. Nobody in this group deserved this. Retribution was a really great collection of wrestlers (and Dio Maddin) being given the most stupid names possible in the most embarrassing get-ups possible. Nothing about this was good. Nobody got over. Nobody found greener pastures after this. Nobody won any belts or even wrestled on a PLE except Ali showing up in the Royal Rumble for a little bit. They were a laughingstock from the get-go. Quite possibly the worst thing to come from the Thunderdome era of WWE, which is saying A LOT."

[] "3 women who were all made insufferable by their inclusion in a drawn out, horrible storyline with the only heat they could ever gain being Go Away heat. All three women were made worse and Toni Storm was the only one worth watching before and after this stable. No good matches, no good promos, no moment that was worth anything out of this utter waste of TV time. The fact that Toni Storm went from this to some of her best work shows just how far back she was held by this trash. Utter dogshit. Would be negative if ratings went negative."

[7.0] "Im a fan of the group. The matches are actually pretty decent and everyone in the group has at least one amazing accolade or accomplishment since joining the group."

[10.0] "This was one of the best stables in all of NXT history, maybe WWE history. Every member played their part and there was a time in NXT where they held all the gold and were the top faction. Dare I say they were better then The Horseman."

[10.0] "This might be one of the best factions in modern WWE history. The stories told in this group were amazing and both runs with the group were amazing with some awesome matches. The three men in the group have ruled wrestling for the last decade and still run it all, Roman on Smackdown, Seth on Raw and Moxley in AEW."

[7.0] "This is a nice faction. Their work in PWG was cool and their work in AEW was even better, as Superkliq and The Undisputed Elite."

[9.0] "I cant tell if theyre disbanded or what but if they are that is really sad because they are one of the best factions in AEW. They most put on great matches and can tell good stories despite what others say."

[10.0] "This is the best faction in wrestling history. The storylines involving them are perfection and whenever they are on, it is must watch tv. Up until Summerslam 2023 the storyline was perfect and afterwards its decent but not perfect. The stuff with Sami was the best."

[3.0] "This stable would be great, if the focus wasnt completely on Don Callis. Callis completely puts the focus on himself and takes the shine off of wrestlers like Takeshita, Hobbs and Ospreay. If the stable had a better mouthpiece than Don Callis, it would be at least an 8 out of 10 stable but Callis drags the stable down so far by making the entire factions purpose about him and Kenny Omega. They have no direction now that Omega is injured and it limits them so heavily."
