ECW's Triple Threat
| psz | Posted on 07/29/07 at 23:54:20 I just went down the list of members: Shane Douglas Chris Benoit * Dean Malenko Brian Lee Bam Bam Bigelow * Chris Candido * Lance Storm So.... Three dead, the rest (semi) retired. Pretty bleak for the biggest stable of the third biggest company of the 90s. |
| 91 | Posted on 08/02/07 at 23:56:23 I was wondering about something similar today actually - what's the biggest wrestling group/stable/whatever in terms of number of members where they are all still alive. So far I've got the Midnight Express (if you count literally everyone then you've got Condrey, Rose, Austin, Eaton, Lane, Gunn, Holly, Cornette and Heyman which makes nine). |
| King Munshun | Posted on 08/03/07 at 00:03:35 What about the nWo? Wasn't that half the WCW roster at one point? Surely they can't ALL be dead. How about every single member of Raven's Nest, from ECW? Not all of them are dead, either. |

I was sad when he was not part of Paul E's Original Midnight Express in WCW. Maybe he was retired by then. |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/03/07 at 02:39:36 Nah... WCW would have had to bring in Koko Ware to feud with Norvell. :P |
| psz | Posted on 08/03/07 at 05:09:22 Of course, the OTHER "Stable Of Doom" would be the Hart Foundation: Bret: Career ending injury Owen: Dead Pillman: Dead Davey Boy: Dead Jim: Semi-Retired baby! HAHAHAHA! Ahem *strokes goatee* (Honourable Mentions By Association being Dynamite: Wheelchair and Benoit: Dead) |
| suicidalbynature | Posted on 08/03/07 at 05:31:27 You mean "Benoit: Murdered" |
| Crpls | Posted on 08/03/07 at 06:58:18 I hope you are joking... |
| suicidalbynature | Posted on 08/03/07 at 07:27:36 Kevin Sullivan did it. The evidence is all there. We've already been enlightened about it. |

Surely they can't ALL be dead.I think you misunderstood - I was looking for stables where everyone was still alive. Obviously the nWo is out (Hennig, Rude, Traylor, Elizabeth, does Spicolli count too?). The ECW Nest is out too (Pitbull Durante) but the FLOCK on the other hand... they're all still alive, and I make that a combination of Raven, Kidman, Saturn, Riggs, Horace, Van Hammer, Lodi, Sick Boy, Kanyon, Reese and Richards for eleven, and the win. |
| Crpls | Posted on 08/04/07 at 08:09:41 Hmm, for some reason I thought Reese/The Yeti died. But maybe not. |
| psz | Posted on 08/04/07 at 15:41:54 Nope, he's still alive apparently. I'd say the FBI would be most All Alive group, at 12: Salvatore Bellomo "The Big Don" Tommy Rich "The Main Man" Tracy Smothers Little Guido Maritato Davey Piezono Mabel "The Italian Stallion" J.T. Smith Sal E. Graziano Big Guido Tony Mamaluke Ulf Herman One Man Gang |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 08/04/07 at 22:44:39 that group could also qualify for the most liver damaged from alcohol imbibing after shows. Just on Tommy Rich and Tracy Smothers alone. |
