Horsemen
- it came and went several Times, and several assorted revivals were just as strong as the original
NWO was Great Until 1998
- seriously almost like a switch the NWO booking turned to sh*t at Starrcade 1997 (when they shoe horned in Bret hart and the Montreal references... (this is why rumors of Bret's release being a Trojan Horse are so prolific)
- and the spin offs, factions, and revivals were all Pale imitations
DX: define Faction
- DX was it's strongest between the HHH, HBK, Chyna and Rude version and the DX Army realignment with HHH, X Pac, and NAO
- however neither version was 4H levels of dominant.
- and post Buy Out 'reunions' were limited to one offs, or the HBK/HHH Tag Team
So I think the DX and NWO Brands have a longer shelf life and selling power, than any actual Faction would have under those banners
MEM is an after thought...shouldn't even be on a list with the other three
- including them in a discussion of successful factions feels like when the Oscars giving a token Nomination to a lesser film, because they needed a 5th nomination to round out the category (something I guess the Oscars have since remedied, by removing the 5 nominee rule)
Yours Truly
When you look at the standard bearer, then it's easily the Four Horsemen. Their feuds were legendary, and they were all performers who could stand on their own. It is a faction that has been copied and other groups are always compared to. The Horsemen lasted almost three decades in various forms, but at the end of the day, they were the performers who put the buts in the seats.
