 Stable (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In professional wrestling, a stable is a group of wrestlers within a promotion who have a common element -- friendships, either real or storyline, a common manager, or a common storyline -- which puts them together as a unit.
One of the most famous stables in wrestling history was The Four Horsemen, a stable in Jim Crockett Promotions and World Championship Wrestling, originally formed in 1986 by Ric Flair, his "cousins" The Anderson (Arn and Ole), and Tully Blanchard.
One of the more famous groups of wrestlers in recent times, The Clique of WWF in the mid-1990s, is more accurately called a "backstage group", because the WWF never directly acknowledged the group's existence in its storylines.

 Clique (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Clique (sometimes referred to as the Kliq) was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation of the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all booking power (the power to make matches and determine storylines), and were accused of refusing to put over (elevate, usually by losing a match) anyone outside the group.
One of the more talked-about actions involving the Clique was the MSG Incident, which took place on May 19, 1996 and involved all of the Clique except for Waltman.
Coincidentally, they are also the only members of the reunited D-Generation X. Kevin Nash is currently wrestling in TNA, and Sean Waltman was under contract with Wrestling Society X and it ended in 11-16-06.

Real life friends and reported Clique members Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (who began being known simply as Triple H) were the original two members, along with their bodyguard, Chyna and their "insurance policy", Rick Rude.
On October 13, 1997, the group officially referred to themselves as D-Generation X for the first time and debuted their signature slogan, "Suck it!" They were often shown on television practicing sophomoric humor and rebelling against authority figures in the company.
He recruited a re-debuting X-Pac and the New Age Outlaws, to reform DX in an incarnation that came to be known as the "DX army".

In the old days there was an unwritten rule that, in order to prevent wrestling from being exposed as a work, wrestlers were never to break kayfabe when they were in the presence of wrestling fans.
Wrestling is fake, but when something from real life creeps into the show, it is called a shoot.
For example, say two wrestlers who dislike each other in real life are having a match together and they decide to settle their differences by throwing legit punches at each other during the match, that would be a shoot.

Has covered every possible extent of the online wrestling media so as to make IPW-UK (and some of us speculate that the I and P stand for Intolerable and Pretentious, and the W is for W*nker) look as important as he wishes it to.
Another blinding example of knowing how to fudge the wrestling media's view of you, and using a situation to hide the damage you do the UK scene, is the upcoming British Under 23's championship held the SAME DAY as the next 1PW show in November; and run by IPW-UK seemingly.
Looking like they're doing a good deed for the youth of the wrestling business (and as usual, not giving a damn for anyone over the age of 30), they set this up, but only to look after their friends who promote and to look after their own.

My older sibling at the time was into wrestling, and while that person's passion for it died; mine continued.
In high school I wrestled, and did okay,(but I still don't understand why booting someone in the head is illegal - cue evil laugh!), and took in every type of wrestling I could watch.
The example of that formula in reverse ironically is Bill Anderson's IWC which was American wrestling with lucha and Japanese style workers brought in to spice up the mix.

 ST: Wrestling is supposed to be fun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Wrestling is a serious business granted, but unless we can lighten up a bit, the UK scene is going to be held back for a long time.
I think that sometimes wrestlers can be unfairly treated by other more ‘focused’ wrestlers, when they want to have some fun in the ring, it seems sometimes that a lot of people go for the overly-serious attitude because it seems the right way to behave in front of a promoter.
I guess the only way to practice at having fun is by getting on with every wrestler you know, it’s pretty hard to relax when you don’t know the guy, so it would be best to wrestle everyone as and when you can and not stick with a clique of wrestlers you know.
