00:00 Everybody has that friend in the group that just doesn't quite fit in. Maybe they entered the friend group late

00:05 Maybe they have a completely different style

00:06 Maybe they just tag along with their partner and no one is honest enough to tell Janet that her new boyfriend makes everyone uncomfortable

00:12 Can't stand that guy. Not all groups can be thick as thieves and a lot of the time in wrestling

00:17 It's easy to look at the police lineup of a great faction and pluck one dude or dudette out who just feels out of place

00:22 One of these wrestlers is not like the other one of these wrestlers just doesn't belong

00:28 It's too many syllables. Yeah, we're picking on folks who didn't fit in today

00:31 Kind of like a Canadian dude wearing a mask amongst a group of Brits that he still never met

00:35 I'm Tempest hailing from parts fun known and these are 10 wrestlers who didn't fit great factions

00:40 You could be on this list too, you know

00:42 You don't quite fit the faction of people that aren't subscribed to parts fun

00:45 No, but there's a very easy fix just hit that subscribe button and enable notifications

00:49 So you never miss a fun video just like this one honorary mention Kurt angle the shield here comes Seth here comes Dean and here

00:57 Comes Kurt in tactical gear with the biggest goofiest smile on his face an honorary shield member of sorts

01:03 But he just looks so damn happy about it. I treasure Kurt angle number 10 hornswoggle

01:08 DX in 2006 Shawn Michaels was a dude in his 40s pretending to be a dude in his 30s pretending to be 14 by the time

01:16 2009 and the 39th of 86 DX reunions took place Shawn Michaels and Triple H instead tried pretending to be six

01:23 They'd say their rivals were quote like butts sick burn guys

01:27 I really hope this PG thing catches on but the full transformation of

01:30 PGX came with the introduction of hornswoggle as team mascot granted

01:35 This was very much a kid show at the time

01:37 But now DX was crawling under the ring into hornswoggle's little person dimension so they could attend little people's court and let's just say

01:43 It wasn't my cup of tea. Hey, that's a British thing, right guys number nine evil bullet Club

01:48 It's not every day. I get to sneak a New Japan entry into one of these

01:51 It's the little things in life bullet Club was the desktop wallpaper of half the IWC from 2014 to 2018

01:56 With the group being one of the largest and fastest changing on this list the uber popular heel faction sold merch out the ass

02:03 But by the time 2020 rolled around all the merch sellers were gone and New Japan tasked career goth mid Carter evil with leading the group

02:10 But with evil it goes deeper than simply not fitting his introduction

02:13 Coincides directly with a massive plummet and interest in the group that had been trending downwards since the elites departure

02:19 Bullet Club had been moving away from the outsider status that they'd built their name on but since evil is taken over it has been

02:25 Unrecognizable it's fine to take the group in a new direction

02:27 You just might want to make sure that direction isn't going to be part of the reason for the massive drop in interest in your promotion

02:33 First he's the only leader not to live up to his predecessors and that's just a bummer number eight BAM Neely

02:39 Lafamilia all together now

02:41 Who with BAM Neely being a developmental call-up from 2008 of course

02:47 I know everything about who he is and what he's about because 2008 was a great year and somehow I recorded all of it to

02:53 Memory, but only the wrestling not the politics or recession BAM

02:56 Neely debuted on ECW the week after WrestleMania 24 as Chavo Guerrero's bodyguard slotting himself into top heel faction

03:03 Lafamilia you wouldn't expect Chavo Guerrero's ECW bodyguard to play a major factor in a group like this. Oh

03:09 There's no but he didn't play any factor in the group

03:12 Also, I have to think his name was derived from hockey player cam Neely, but pardon my Canadiana

03:17 It's very difficult to find things to say about BAM Neely Lafamilia was an awesome heel faction

03:22 Thanks to the chemistry between edge and Vicky Guerrero and future impact rivals the edge heads doing the grunt work

03:27 Speaking of impact Chavo was never pushed again after visiting the impact zone before mania

03:32 So it seems more odd that that was the time they chose to give him a heater

03:36 His nickname could have been BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM Neely printing money over here number seven Jimmy Garvin the fabulous freebirds

03:43 Now before any Jimmy Garvin fans come out of the woodwork to lunge for my throat

03:47 This is not regarding any of the freebirds golden years

03:51 They were one of the best factions of all time and drew a ton of money

03:54 But by the time 1989 rolled around and the freebirds found themselves in Crockett country, they weren't drawing money anymore granted

04:00 There's a few reasons for that Terry Gordy was primarily working in Japan and Buddy Robert stayed in world-class

04:05 Championship wrestling before retiring from the ring

04:07 What was left was the duo of Michael Hayes the freest of all birds

04:11 But not a strong worker in the ring and Jimmy Garvin who had to be the star of the show to make up for it

04:16 Nothing against Jimmy Garvin. He was a talented performer

04:19 but when you think of the fabulous freebirds you think of the riots against the von eric's with Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts and Michael

04:25 Hayes cutting promos Garvin got much larger and tried to work a much more dominant style

04:29 But as a 510 guy in 1989

04:31 It was a hard sell if you're driving home and you ask your mom to stop for fabulous freebirds

04:36 And she says you have fabulous free birds at home. This was the fabulous free birds at home

04:39 Number six Sonny the Legion of Doom it really is easier to remember the road warriors at their peak

04:45 Probably the coolest tag team of all time

04:47 WWE could never figure out exactly how to get a come and raise our over pardon me. I meant Hanson and Roe wow

04:53 That's not right either. There's a lot of these I strongly considered putting Rocco the stupid ventriloquist puppet on this list

04:59 But as much as Sonny isn't a wrestler the puppet isn't even human even if it does have Paul Ellering's hand up its ass

05:05 Likewise with draws crush and hide-and-rike none of these guys really fit the group either but at the very least they were big dudes who?

05:11 Could throw you around that's basically all the road warriors did they were just cooler about it

05:16 Sonny became Hawking animals manager as part of LOD

05:18 2000 at Wrestlemania 14 and while she was a more than capable manager the road warriors weren't the type of team to fit with a

05:25 Hot blonde. I also don't have any jokes to say about Sonny. I can't find amusement in it right now

05:29 Don't drive drunk people number five Manu

05:33 Legacy great might be a stretch when talking about legacy, but they were a solid enough

05:37 He'll faction for a couple years there

05:39 this was probably the best period of Randy Orton's career and he had a pair of young guns to keep his title safe a

05:45 prepubescent Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes had Orton's back

05:48 But many forget the factions origins involved a pair of other stars looking to solidify their legacies one of which was son of wild Samoan

05:55 Afa and cousin of Roman Reigns Manu who debuted at unforgiven 2008 and joined forces with Rhodes and DiBiase

06:02 Just known as priceless at the time at first it seemed as if that was your trio

06:06 But Rhodes and DiBiase were vying for Orton's attention and WWE's plans didn't involve their newest member of the rocks family

06:12 According to Cody Rhodes Manu wasn't told about this and was about as excited as you would be if you reach level

06:17 987 413 in Mouse Quest this very much seemed like WWE pulled the plug on Manu and fellow list candidate

06:23 Sim snooker because as legacy was christened with their beatdown

06:26 Manu was never seen again and Sim snooker would go on to be part of one of the most famous

06:31 Wrestlemania botches of all time

06:32 I'm sure they were told to let it play out number four Paul Roma the four horsemen the job guy from

06:38 WWE those are not my words

06:40 Those are the words of one triple H utterly befuddled by the inclusion of no-name Paul Roma being welcomed into the esteemed four horsemen in

06:47 1993 Roma had been part of power and glory in WWE alongside Hercules Hernandez

06:53 I mean Hernandez definitely brought the power not sure Roma supplied much glory

06:57 They didn't win many matches together often losing to the Rockers

07:00 So Roma's immediate inclusion and what was considered by many to be the greatest wrestling

07:04 Faction of all time went over about as well as an acid rain shower after your last shift at the bowling alley

07:09 Considering this is WCW in the year 1993

07:12 We're talking about we're lucky was only this bad and they didn't try and put the shock master in the group while they were at it

07:17 I mean it sounds crazy

07:18 But so does trying to say Paul Roma was a four horsemen caliber star with less buildup than Wrestlemania 38 number three

07:24 Samoa Joe the main event mafia

07:27 I may love the main event mafia ironically

07:29 But I still love them the people writing TNA wrestling in 2008 had gotten tired of hearing Dixie Carter talked about all the people she used

07:36 To watch on TV, so they just decided to put them all together in one group

07:39 That's not true

07:40 But it makes sense to me Kurt angle led the way while sting held the heavyweight title and Kevin Nash Booker T and Scott Steiner

07:46 All did their part the story was pretty simple

07:48 The veterans were tired of being disrespected by the TNA originals and banded together to rule the main event scene a good start to an angle

07:55 But as was the case for most of the TNA era a good start didn't guarantee a satisfactory ending

08:00 I usually find these kind of factions lose a lot of steam when you start fiddling with the people in it

08:05 And that's exactly what happened when TNA original Samoa Joe joined the group at slammiversary 2009

08:10 Nation of violence face tattoo machete wielding Samoa Joe at that the worst version of Samoa Joe

08:16 This is where the faction fell apart merged with Eric Young's world elite and fizzled out

08:20 And it really was because Joe didn't fit and his inclusion forced the group to become just another bunch of heels

08:26 No longer joined by a common goal go back and listen to that theme though a banger

08:30 doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

08:32 Yo, yo, yo

08:34 Number two Randy Orton the Wyatt family before we had the spooky bollocks of Alexa bliss before we had the red light of the fiend

08:41 We had Randy Orton being hypnotized

08:44 Question mark during the reintroduction of the brand split Randy Orton squared off against Bray Wyatt

08:49 Oh boy a new young star to work with I'm sure we'll have so many great wrestling matches together a particularly jovial

08:55 Randy Orton surely said to himself is the taste of black sludge suddenly appeared in his mouth

08:59 Orton's rivalry and team with Bray Wyatt was extremely goofy stuff with Randy Orton's eyes glowing backstage is why it had him under his control

09:06 But he didn't have him under his control because Orton was tricking him. But then what were the eyes Randy?

09:11 What were the eyes Orton's time as an undercover agent tearing the Wyatt family apart from the inside was fruitful?

09:16 But while it was happening, it was very hard to look at Randy Orton beside Luke Harper

09:20 R.i.p. Love you, Brody and Bray Wyatt when the only thing he did to look spooky was put a hoodie on

09:25 He didn't even put the hood up half the time and number one mark Jindrak

09:30 Evolution, haha, not really. I mean kinda but no not really and number one sting the nWo

09:37 I don't care if it was the nWo red and black

09:39 I don't care if they were the babyface side of the group the man called sting should never be in

09:44 The nWo there have been a lot of entries to this point where the guy just wasn't the right fit

09:49 But this one is purely based on the principle of the matter

09:52 He was honestly if half of bullet Club could be on this list and seven eighths of the nWo sure could be there was no

09:58 one who better represented the spirit of

10:00 WCW than sting and he'd been built up as the chief adversary of the nWo for over a year before his match with Hulk Hogan

10:06 It's dark a 97

10:07 You know the dumb one to just throw that away for the sake of adding another shock member to the nWo gives me serious

10:13 McMahon shaking hands with Austin vibes the only difference being Austin was the biggest star of the biggest company at its peak and here the

10:20 nWo had already passed its peak so it didn't have the same significance

10:23 It would have a year earlier the same way that seen Brett Farve in a Vikings jersey makes me sick to my stomach is how

10:29 It feels to look at sting in an nWo shirt

10:31 And if my very personal and not at all relatable football analogy doesn't pull at your heartstrings realize the nWo caused sunburnt sting

10:39 Red and black sting is the worst sting and that's our list were there any wrestlers that didn't quite fit your favorite faction
