10 Wrestlers Who Didn't Fit Great Factions | partsFUNknown 

"Shawn Michaels was a dude in his forties pretending to be a dude in his thirties pretending to be fourteen." My god that was a murder.

There could be a top 10 list just for the 4 Horsemen.

I love how every photo and video of Jindrak in Evolution is posed so precisely, that they can easily cut him out of each image and still use them for the main trio until Batista was added.

I knew a guy in the early 90's who insisted that Lex Luger into the Four Horsemen was akin to not just looking forward to the Apocalypse, but helping Death itself into the saddle.. Southern Wrestling fans from the 70's/80's were quite passionate.

This list made me think of a list that could be very interesting, "Member(s) kick out of faction that either made the group worse or made no sense". The first that came to mind was the nWo kicking out The Giant as he just joined WCW again and they instantly became a bigger threat against the nWo.

Honorable Mentions: - Steve “Mongo” McMichael (Four Horsemen) - Jeff Jarrett (Bullet Club) - Booker T (NWO in 2002)

Am I the only one that thinks it’s funny that Tempest is the one doing a list of people that don’t fit in? 🤣🤣

I’m just loving the hockey reference. Glad I wasn’t the only one that thought of Cam Neely when Bam Neely debut

Owen Hart in the Nation of Domination... for 'visually' obvious reasons.

“Canadian dude wearing a mask with a bunch of Brits…”

The EVIL/House of Torture stuff in NJPW has been insufferable. And it’s done a lot of damage to EVIL. They took away most of what did work about him and replace it with, crap.

You know I've been meaning to ask, how did Tempest come to join WrestleTalk?

Ngl...I was a kid when DX reunited in 2009 and I absolutely loved Hornswoggle and Little People's Court because he tried so hard to join DX and they finally let him in during Christmas HAHA! Also loved John Cena cuz he kept on winning and told me to never give up. Ahh childhood.

I’m glad that you mentioned Bullet Club, I always loved all of the members including the smaller lesser known guys, but when the Evil era began I sorta just stopped caring as much recently until the new civil war. I think it was way better off staying in LIJ.

I guess you had to live through it but Sting joining the Wolfpac amazing. From the day Sting joined to the day he left due to injury, the Wolfpac was the most popular faction in ALL of wrestling! Every Monday Nitro was like a Nebraska home game, the crowd was a sea of red.

I'm confused, Brett Favre was always a Viking and any rumors to the contrary are lies and slander.

Ahmed Johnson in the NOD was wrong as well but at least they course corrected quickly.

Not sure how many people tell you Tempest, but you've come an incredibly long way. Your narration of videos is fantastic.

I love that Smiling Friends reference!

The Brett favre one hit different

I personally like the Vikings version of farve the most

Sting just never fit in Wolfpac. Oh he tried, he really really tried. I so wanted it to, then when it happened, it just felt like it went nowhere. Speaking of.. Disco Inferno and Virgil in NWO.. They did NOT fit period.

3:15 Considering that they had Kenny Dykstra, whose name was one letter away from a baseball player who had a ridiculous overlap with Neely's NHL career (as in both Cam Neely and Lenny Dykstra retired from their respective sports in 1996), I'm actually surprised that they didn't have guys named Tim Kelly or Dom Rivers to keep the references to athletes who retired in 1996 going. Yes, I did Google NBA and NFL players who retired in 1996 for this joke (I honestly thought both Jim Kelly and Doc Rivers retired in 1997).

Honorable Mention: Lance Storm in the Triple Threat in ECW. He was such a poor fit they kicked him out without a replacement. So they actually preferred to only have two people in a stable called the Triple Threat rather than have him as a member. Poor Lance...

Jeff Jarrett in the 4 horsemen, Jeff Jarrett in the NWO and Jeff Jarret in Bullet Club

I like when Tempest does lists because he makes sports refefences sometimes. And i like sports references sometimes

My main takeaway from this is, wow Tempest has never met the other guys?! I thought the recording from the room thing was pandemic-related. Good list, though :)

About to listen to the MEM theme right now! But Sting with the WolfPAC was so epic tho

Tempest, you’ve won me over to watch your lists when they come out cause I’ll always be looking for that GOD TIER Smiling Friends reference

LOVE THE FARVE REFERENCE! As a wisconsite it really hit different lol

Thanks for including a smiling friends reference

Legacy, Manu, Sim Snuka honestly would be great against The Bloodline, & Solo Sikoa, especially if Manu switched sides.

This was good, but you should do a top 10 promos. I just watched Jay Lethal and Rick Flair.

I liked the football analogy tho. Made perfect sense.

I was happy Sting was in NWO wolfpack. Plus my favorite colors as a kid was red and black 😂

As a Viking fan I agree with seeing Brett farce in our jersey.

Randy Orton wyatt family? That time on smack down was done really well but the Mania match was done wrong

Haha as a packer fan that favre joke was on point :)

I actually liked Garvin as a Freebird. It helps that the 90s version was my introduction to the group I guess. But even going back I think that the Birds were part of the better segments of WCW-TV from that time. And even now, having seen the WCCW-Stuff, I still consider him a legit Freebird. He was involved with them even back then, helping out on several occassions. Give me Garvin over the Angel of Death or Iceman Parsons as Freebirds. Also, both Gordy and Roberts came around for a cup of tea to legitimize that version of the Birds. It got a bit convoluted with Badstreet/Fantasia and their involvment with DDP's stable.

The bullet club were my phone wallpaper from 2016 to 2018

With the Freebirds ,you have two incarnations #1. The Lynyrd Skynyrd Southern Rock trio (Hayes,Gordy,& Roberts) and #2. The Late 80's "Poison/Bon Jovi" Glam-Hair Metal Freebirds. And Jimmy Garvin as this young kid should know,has always been Crew in the Freebirds. So it makes absolute sense that JG was a Freebird

Hearing Tempest say Bollocks is both hilarious and oddly wholesome

At least tempest knows he's the misplaced faction member

Hahaha love how they use a picture of Zdeno Chára when talking about Cam Nealy 😂😂😂

Great list 👌

How dare you sir! Hornswoggle was the heart and soul of dx

Got to love a smiling Friends reference

Kinda funny because for some reason, Tempest is the only person on Wrestletalk that I feel is the odd man out. Maybe it's just me? Nothing personal towards the guy, he seems like a good dude. Just something about him doesn't click for me

Chavo in LWO or Dean Malinko in the 4 Horseman. Dean was a great wrestling, but just felt out of place during that time being a baby face prior

Hornswoggle earned that spot on DX!

Wrestletalk. Greatest and most stable stable in wrestling. Also, thank you for allowing Blampied find redemption

Love to see a smiling friends reference

Kurt Angle being part of The Shield was a one time thing (one match). Being part of a faction for a short time shouldn't count. Especially if it's for one match.

I felt that Favre reference.

I thought I was clever with the tempest and parts funknown joke, but tempest beat me to it.

I see you Jimmy Garvin and raise you "Badstreet" Brad Armstrong for the Freebird spot. Also, Canadian Jim Duggan in Lance Storm's faction.

It seems like there was often a fourth man in the 4 Horsemen that didn’t fit: Roma, Sid, Mongo, Jarrett… wondering how well Pullman fit with them tbh.

the opening didn't have to attack me so hard😂

Tempest! The script for this is fantastic! Really made me chuckle

The Main Event Mafia theme is a banger

I agree sting into nwo was a bad move in general but he still had some classic matches against goldberg and brett hart in the wolf pack red face paint. nwo was cool and so was sting.

Man, this was the first time I've ever been able to guess the #1 spot.

The Brett Favre reference hit hard as a Packers fan 🥲

As a life long Packers fan, I felt that.

I appreciate your sports references tempest!

I loved the DX Hornswoggle stuff, it cracked me up in the wrong way. But yeah, it wasn't good.

Just imagine how Dave career would’ve gone if they had gone with Jindrak in Evolution. Would he be the star that he is now? Jindrak would’ve been a VERY interesting member of the group. Orton openly admitted Mark was a better athlete then him

As a kid I didn't mind Sting joining the NWO...hell it was the reason I got my first piece of wrestling merch (a Wolfpac sweater)...but as a lifelong Packers fan that Favre comparison just made me see it in a whole different light lol

Tempest, how sure are you that Buddy Roberts was in World Class when Jimmy Garvin and Michael Hayes were in WCW?

Sim Snuka was also Deuce of Deuce N Domino

Where’s Adam?

OK, I love the Smiling Friends references.

I'm sorry, but #1 should be Sting in, well, ANY faction so far, not just nWo. The Road Warriors? The Horsemen?, the nWo Wolfpack? The Main Event Mafia? Sting sticks out like a sore thumb in ALL of them, especially if they've supposed to be heels. Jim Cornette said it best. He once asked Sting didn't he want to play a bad guy. Sting replied no. And it shows. It's like the painting you can get to hang correctly. It just doesn't look right. Let's not forget that 79% of all factions in pro wrestling pre-AEW were heel groups.

Kurt Angle looked so happy in The Shield

Me: Mom can we have Adam Blampied at home? Mom: We have Adam Blampied at home Adam Blampied at home:

Hooray for Tempest!

I completely agree on Sting in the nWo Wolfpac.

OK not gonna lie I chuckled at Little People‘s court, it was just so stupid it was amusing

How about Daniel Bryan in The Wyatt Family, John Cena in the Nexus?

Tempest is Canadian? Didnt know that. He did a good job here tho, like Andy.

I wonder how many people remember Rhodes, DiBiase, and Manu by themselves were known as Priceless. That name was pretty much lost once they officially became the Legacy.

Ok talking of the four horsemen are ignoring the fact that Sid was in it

On the same line with the shield, HHH but yeah I forgot house shows aren't cannon

Crush as part of LOD? When? He was added to Demolition.

10:25 Tempest and I are officially soul mates. #GoPackGo

Honestly, if Evil wants to shine as a leader, he & all the Japanese wrestlers need to splint from Bullet Club & join his House of Torture/Evil-gun stable.

My dad was a massive mark for LOD in the '80s. Mostly because he was also a huge fan of the Oakland Raiders, and they dressed like passionate Raider fans, and also stiffed people like passionate Raiders fans. That list of the revolving door that joined the group is just depressing. And kind of hilarious. Wasn't the '08 recession pretty easy on Canada owing to their actual regulation of banks?

Say what you want about Power & Glory, but their Power Plex finishing move was awesome.

I watched WWE in 2008 weekly. I remember even the jobber. Even Escobar, the boytoy of Vickie Guerrero, But Bam Neely to me is new. I guess i shifted into a parallel universe where he existed

i liked Nation of Violence Samoa Joe's look badass

I did not have a problem with Jimmy Garvin in the Freebirds and teaming with Michael Hayes. Was it better than the original? No of course it wasn’t. But I thought they were good together and a good team. I agree with the rest of the list though.

The Tater-Tot Scott, Joe Coffey in the Prestige. I mean that half wit leprechaun is many things, but prestigious is not one of them.

Sting was originally going to be the third guy to team with Hall and Nash in the Nwo but they went with Hogan instead.. ( look it up ) it sounds crazy but it's true

EVIL is far from the worst member of Bullet Club. You guys probably don't remember, but there was that brief length of time when Captain New Japan was a member. He was still as useless as ever and couldn't win a match to save his life. To top it off, Omega called him "an intergalactic disaster".

evil was the 1st one that i thought and joe in MEM the second and as a 3rd what about rampage jackson in MEM 2.0

How about Sid Vicious (or whatever he was called in WCW) as a member of the Four Horseman.

I like tempest but I can't hear him doing a top ten. Lol it's too weird

I definitely DISAGREE on Jimmy Garvin being on this list. I think the best Freebird combination of ALL time was Hayes and Garvin. They had GREAT matches in the early 90s WCW with the Steiners, Young Pistols, Road Warriors, Rock and Roll Express, just to say a few...

🙏 for Sunny and the family of the person she ran over and killed. 😢

Gotta be honest, Orton with the Wyatt family wasn't that bad imo. The story was a little stupid... okay a lotta stupid at times but the good outweighs the bad imo. The ending sequence to what was one of the best Men's Survivor Series matches. Winning the SD tag titles, their Rumble performance had it's moments. Harper returning and not fully trusting Orton while at the same time we all knew Orton had something up his sleeveless hoodie sleeve. I think it did it's purpose, wasn't necessarily bad.
