I clutter this board up with a lot of news, let’s change it up today and get some talk going.

So: Factions. Some promotions rely on them. Some never use them. Some of them are responsible for the greatest moments in the history of pro wrestling. Some…were fuckin’ annoying.

So what’s your thoughts? Love factions? Hate factions? Favourite/least favourite factions? Any favourite segments? Sound off!

    Favorite factions: Evolution was my first run in with the idea of group who wasn’t necessarily a tag team, and that whole experience still holds a place in my heart. More modern, I’m a fan of the Elite; Kenny, Hangman, and the Bucks really brought me back into the scene in 2019 (also liked them individually in NJPW and other things I’d see them in)

    Least Favorite: if I had to pick one, I think I’d have to say things like House of Black. Not that they’re bad; just the whole vibe isn’t my thing

    Between 2016 and 2019, I was trying to get into NJPW after a 10 year hiatus from the sport. One thing that struck me as interesting but a challenging idea was how important the different stables were. Not a bad thing, I just remember feeling like, “wow, this is pretty different”

      Evolution and the Elite are high on my list too. I hate to say it, but my favourite might be the Radicalz. I fucking loved Benoit and Eddie growing up :/

        I don’t think I was watching for that, or if I was watching at the time I wasn’t paying attention lol

        I did like the both of them too, especially Eddie who I had a lot more exposure to. Viva la raza
