Please let me know if you like mine, any tweaks, what would yours be?

We all know ratings are down, moral is down.

What better to help ratings and help establish some lesser used talent than a NEW STABLE.

Remember those? Remember when a large group would walk down to the ring, spout some jargon, look badass, and rule the story-lines?

Well, you're the booker, your job is to get the ratings back and make the most MUST WATCH stable in WWE.

RULES.

1. One clear leader.
2. 6 OR LESS.
3. Must choose at least 1 girl. Can be more if you like.
4. Must be full time...no Undertaker leading the revolution from his couch.
5. Cannot be used already...i.e. extensions of the Wyatt Family, New Day, etc.
6. Face or Heel....it doesn't matter. NXT or WWE.
7. Dont use up all the stars on one team.


You can include, managers, muscle, jobbers, whoever you think would make sense. What would make RAW must watch every week?

Could your faction, take RAW's closer to 4.0's? Lets see.

Heres what my ideal faction would look like.

1. Dean Ambrose...clear leader. A manipulator, a Henry Rollins LIAR type who will tell you everything you want to hear. Think The Joker meets young bad-ass Marlon Brando. He wants to upset the established order...The Authority. He wants to replace Michael Cole with a fish-tank. Also he would never leave his faction out to dry. Hes not a coward, hes a manipulator.

2. Roman Reigns. The muscle, the prodigy, protects Ambrose like hes his real brother. Still wins all his matches, and you get the sense hes the main project of the faction. Ambrose would be Romans mouthpiece like Heyman is Lesnar's. He would get Roman over in record time. The bromance lives on...

3. Becky Lynch as Dean Ambrose's girlfriend. Becky would be obsessed with Dean so much that a future story-line would be money if he ever dumps her. Shes the type that if Dean was about to be speared, she would stand in and take the spear. Shed be crazier, funnier, and full of energy. She would have funkier hair, crazy makeup, like a punk rock vintage 1985 era Cyndi Lauper. She would be madly in love with Dean. I know everyone would think Paige here, but I think Becky could play this role better.

4. Braun Stroman. SUPER MUSCLE. The Enforcer, Ambrose's main bodyguard. Hes green and cant really wrestle, but he would look good just standing there while Amborse gives good promo.

5. The jobber. R-TRUTH. Remember PRETTY RICKY? R-Truth is more punk rock than just about everyone. Hes be the jobber, comedic relief, etc. If Dean told him to go steal someones car, he would. He would be the " I GOT THIS BOSS" guy, always volunteering for the crap jobs. Every faction needs a jobber. Really hard to take Truth over Sandow and Heath Slater here, but I feel Truth could commit the dirty acts more convincingly and be bad-ass when he needs to be also.

6. The wrestler. Im going to go one more so they can always play the numbers game with 6 members. You have to have a guy that can wrestle, win, and lose, when needed. This one is tough and its between CESARO, Samoa Joe, Swagger, Ryder, and Slater. It comes down to Samoa Joe and Cesaro.......and I take JOE. I think Joe can go on the mic, can win or lose and his look is different from the other members. Also JOE would tag well with anyone of the 6. Cesaro would get lost in the shuffle, but at least hed be part of something.

So The AMBROSE ASYLUM. THE SINISTER 6. Anarchy, anything can happen. What a cast of characters. The poster and t-shirts would sell out on day 1. You could stretch this months before all members are found out.

1. DEAN AMBROSE
2. ROMAN REIGNS.
3. BECKY LYNCH
4. BRAUN STROMAN.
5. R-TRUTH.
6. SAMOA JOE.

PLEASE NOTE....I didn't even take from other factions mostly, and still left Wyatts, New Day, Authority, etc in tact....save for Braun.

Re: BUILD THE BEST STABLE using less than 6 people to help ratings.

I'd call my group upRising and they would be themed around a guerilla-style attack unit who take out targets related to the Authority to try and bring them down because they are fed up of how they run things.

It would be formed of:
Dean Ambrose: Feels him and his friends are being held back, the clear leader of the group.

Becky Lynch: Sick of being held back behind Charlotte, Paige and Sasha by the higher-ups.

Solomon Crowe: The group's hacker, gets them on TV without it being completely random with no real explanation. Has a history with Dean so it makes sense.

Cesaro: Muscle of the group, tired of being held back also.

I'd probably have Dean be kayfabe fired before the angle started, to instigate it.

The Buccaneers or 'Bucks'

Kevin Owens
Samoa Joe
Hideo Itami
Bubba Ray Dudley
D-Von Dudley
Alicia Fox

A tweener stable that just likes to fight, they even fight amongst each other regularly for the hell of it but are also fiercely loyal to each other and to their quest of taking belts away from others. This puts them in direct competition with both the major Face and Heel groups on the roster.

Re: BUILD THE BEST STABLE using less than 6 people to help ratings.

I think you mean six or less people. Less than six would imply five at the most.

After taking over the company from the authority John Cena now has the power to call the shots in WWE. This has been his dream from the very stop. To stomp out the authority and use the power of the Cenation to control the WWE. He enlists the authority's greatest rivals, but also offers invitations to some of the best the authority has to offer. Anyone that isn't part of his elite will get beat down and utterly destroyed.

John Cena
Roman Reigns
Alberto Del Rio
Sheamus
Randy Orton
Charlotte

However, there is one group willing to stand up against the new regime of heels. Follow the buzzards.

I do t see any possibilities I could embrace that don't involve Lesnar and Heyman and the criteria says no part timers. Oh well.

Emma
Damien Sandow
Cesaro
Cody Rhodes
Hunico
Sami Zayn

Not sure who the leader would be. I feel like it'd work best if nobody was the clear leader, although Sandow & Zayn would be the primary "talkers", Though Cesaro & Cody would be the implied possible leaders.

Would be another Nexus/Shield/Disgruntled/antihero type of faction.

Lineage Incarnate

Leader:

Alberto Del Rio:

Alberto, shortly after falling short in his title defense against Cena abandons the mid card scene and yearns for the days of his glory on the indies scene. Doing this - the MexAmerica gimmick is dropped, and Del Rio grabs Zeb to build up an old school faction to show everyone what wrestling is truly about.


Wrestlers/Muscle:

Curtis Axel:

Curtis is approached by Zeb who offers him a meeting with Del Rio in order to be a part of something bigger than anything he has gone through in his career - Nexus, IC Scene etc. Realizing that his career has been in a sharp decline after Zeb's comments about his less then frequent appearances on Main Event and Superstars - Axel finds Del Rio, off screen he accepts his offer.


Cody Rhodes:

Stardust - after being humiliated by his brother Goldust at the Royal Rumble PPV by having his cronies dismantled and his face paint removed by an also facepaint-less Dustin, plots his revenge. Del Rio himself approaches him and tells him "Ditch the latex, and help make wrestling great again" while he hands him a business card. Cody looks at the card unsure what to think.


Managers/Jobber:

Bo Dallas:

Dallas develops a winning streak with unprecedented cheating tactics which catches the eye of Del Rio who sends Zeb Colter to recruit him. Colter easily smooth talks him, referencing his status as a third generation superstar.

Zeb Colter


Obligatory girl:

Charlotte:

After Paige continuing to receive better reactions from the crowd then her and beating her for the title at the Royal Rumble - Charlotte becomes frustrated that she is criticized and given a lack of respect from the fans despite her lineage. Del Rio realizing that diversity will be a must for his stable - sends Colter to recruit Charlotte. Colter approaches Charlotte and offers her sympathy and plays the lineage card due to his history as both a wrestler and manager in the old territory days. Colter makes the promise on Del Rio's behalf that Charlotte joining the stable will allow her to make the Diva's Division worth something whether by fear or respect as a wrestler with known pedigree.


At the next PPV it is unknown whether Axel, Charlotte or Stardust will join until:

The Diva's title match between Becky Lynch and Paige is interrupted by Charlotte and Bo Dallas who reveal that it is now a triple threat match (thanks to a back stage favour) to which Dallas helps Charlotte win the title.

The Main Event for Fast lane is underway when the Head honcho himself Del Rio comes out with Zeb by his side as well as Curtis Axel and Cody Rhodes who rush the ring to take out Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. There is no main event, only a forced contract signing which gives Del Rio an opportunity for the WWE WHC, Dallas a shot at the IC title, and Curtis And Rhodes a shot at the Tag Titles at the next PPV: WrestleMania...

With no choice and no one to fight for them - The Authority accept.



EDIT: Oh and I just though of something regarding the last line. 'No one to fight for them' would be a perfect excuse to reunite The Shield and then you can have another great faction feud to make for exciting times in the WWE.

Re: BUILD THE BEST STABLE using less than 6 people to help ratings.

ATTN: WWE CREATIVE

Leader: Del Rio's Mex-Americans
Epico
Primo
Swagger
Bo Dallas
El Torito
Zeb Colter (valet)

(This is just working from what Zeb and Del Rio have already setup. Just add a tag team, and maybe another, and now you got 4 solid guys, who can feud with Wyatts, or Roman/Usos/Ambrose.)


Latin Team/Real Mexicans Leader: Ricochet/Prince Puma <-Or someone as great
Kalisto
Sin Cara
Rosa (valet)

(Ricochet comes in at NXT first while Mex-Americans are big stable that grows adding guys. Lucha Dragons feud with them over Tag Belts or cause they won't join. Ricochet helps Lucha Dragons when they need a 3rd person with hints of them plotting, and they later help him cause Ricochet hates Del Rio (cause they still got beef from Lucha Underground), also have Ricochet find out that Zeb is secretly planning to ruin Del Rio and all Mexicans, Zeb planning to turn his back on Del Rio and make Swagger the leader. I like idea of Ricochet taking over leader of Mex-Americans, and kicking out all the white guys for "Real Mexicans".)


Real Americans: (now heel)
Leader: Swagger
Bo Dallas
Aiden English
Simon Gotch
Zeb Colter (valet)

(When Zeb and Swagger get kicked out, they reform the Real Americans, who feud with Real Mexicans/Latin Team.)

-------

New Stable that Del Rio's Mex-Americans Feud with:

WWE's Version of Bullet Club, aka Balor's Club-

Finn Balor (original bullet club leader starts a new stable, Balor Club)
Dash Wilder
Scott Dawson
Simon Gotch (betrays Aiden for this stable)
Bobby Roode

(I think this team is just sort of their own little association. Balor's team is just a rogue group, they aren't a full blown faction at first. I would have Finn feud with Ricochet after he takes over Mex-Americans, and then they really become a strong faction, maybe adding a current bullet club member)

The other feud:

Wyatts will feud with the Mex-America group, Bray will disown the Mex-Americans, and reveals secret about Bo being his brother, and trys to get him to betray his team and finally join his true family. The whole concept around Bo not wanting to join Wyatt's "new family" of Luke, Braun and Eric, has a ton of potential, and tons of great backround to work with.

Re: BUILD THE BEST STABLE using less than 6 people to help ratings.

BROCK IS HIS OWN STABLE.
Agreed, but with that being the case the stable looks even more invincible. Plus his part time status allots for the opportunity to place a solid heel as his number 2 that will end up with more screen time and then a feud could be built on the number thinking its bs that Brock is the man on part time schedule. Sure, they did the same with Rock and Farooq, but it sure was instrumental in getting the greatest draw in wrestling history over.
