Factions

While I was going to do this post on The Bloodline, I realized how many factions were involved in WWE. Yes, The Bloodline has been a lot of WWE recently, but as my dad said… they are slowly losing traction and becoming less of the ‘main drama’ on the show. Factions are groups of wrestlers in their own ‘cliques,’ and there are many of these factions that can be recalled throughout the years.

The Bloodline is run by Roman Reigns as the ‘Tribal Chief’ because of his Samoan background–the numerous ethnicities of WWE are what I want my next post to be about. Jey Uso joined Roman next as the ‘Right Hand Man’ with his twin brother Jimmy. Paul Heyman became Reign’s ‘special counsel’ or ‘wise man.’ Solo Sikoa, the Uso’s younger brother, joined the Bloodline later. Recently, Sami Zayn made it his goal to ruin the Bloodline. He joined as a fake member, gaining their trust before beginning to crumble the tribe from within. Now, Jimmy and Jey are fighting. Reigns does not know who to trust. The story is beginning to die down, but going into their history is very interesting.

Other recent factions include Damage Ctrl, which includes Bayley, Iyo Skye, and Dakota Kai. Judgement Day was started by Edge, Damien Priest, and Rhea Ripley, but soon, Edge was kicked out for Finn Balor. The three became four when Dominik Mysterio joined, sealing the group off from most of the other wrestlers. At the moment, all four hold a title. The LWO (Latino World Order) also is big right now with Rey Mysterio as the ‘leader.’ They had issues with Judgement Day because of the father-son issues between Dominik and Rey.

D-Generation X (DX) is one of my favorite factions to look back on. Triple H, Chyna, and Shawn Michaels began this one. Later, New Age Outlaws and X-Pac joined them. They were popular during the Attitude Era when WWE was at its best. The other faction that was a favorite was The Shield. The Shield included Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose. They were a hilarious trio that was very fun to watch…they always put on a show. The NWO (New World Order) was started by Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash; they were seen as almost a street gang with their motive to take over. 


Other factions included the Ministry of Darkness, Evolution, the Corporation, Fabulous Freebirds, and Four Horsemen. There are many more, but these are the main ones that are my favorite to look back on!

WWE: Then and Now

Vince McMahon Sr. (left) and Vince McMahon Jr. (right) World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has such a long history that includes many name changes, but no matter what, the fanbase has stuck by its side. Vince McMahon Jr. is the name most people associate with WWE as he has run the company for over 40 years. WWE was not the large company it is today, for McMahon Jr. shaped the corporation to fit his standards. In 1982, McMahon Jr. bought World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) from his father McMahon Sr. and changed the name to World Wrestling Federation (WWF)... that extra W just wasn’t doing it for him. After purchasing the company, McMahon went into different wrestling territories and bought wrestlers from them; thus, those territories eventually went bankrupt. Vince himself owned the New York territory of entertainment wrestling, but his advancements into other territories included famous faces, such as Stu Hart with Stampede Wrestling covering the Montana area and Memphis Wrestling ...

My WWE Hall of Fame

WWE Logo All throughout this blog, I have talked about different parts of the wonder that is the WWE. From the pay-per-views to titles to different factions that ran each era, WWE has always been full of life and love. In this post, I am going to talk about the things I love about WWE ever since I was a little girl. My father has been watching WWE since he was a young boy, and he shared his love of the sport with me and my sisters growing up. We have gone to different events (Raw, Smackdown, Wrestlemania!) and met various superstars. I remember going to meet and greets to get autographs! Wrestling has always been in my family, and I don’t remember a life without it nor do I ever want to know of it. The Bella Twins My favorite diva wrestlers have always been the Bella Twins and Mickey James. They were such great wrestlers and performers. They always made me feel like I could do anything. My favorite male wrestlers definitely varied as I got older. I remember growing up I loved Jeff Hard...

The LWO

  Eddie Guerrero and the LWO As stated in my post labeled “Factions,” the LWO is one of the numerous groups that comes out during the WWE matches. LWO stands for the Latino World Order, which is a play on the NWO (New World Order) started by Hulk Hogan and others in 1996. The LWO’s first run was short but memorable in WCW as it was started in 1998 and ended in 1999. The man who started it all was Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero was probably one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but he truly did not get the recognition he deserved until his death. When he started the LWO, almost every Mexican wrestler at the time was a part of it. Names included La Parka, Juventud Guerrera, Silver King, and El Dandy. The other star of the show was Rey Mysterio, who was forced to join when he lost a match against Guerrero with the stipulation that he had to join. While this group did not last long, their impact was grand. The main reason the LWO disbanded was because of Eric Bischoff’s issues with Guer...
