A GOAT stable, and every incarnation of it dating all the way back to USWF. One thing I’ve always like about the last incarnation of it is how flawless everybody started developing their individual personalities/character. It wasn’t Rocky Maivia suddenly becoming The Rock and instantly raising his eyebrow and dropping the People’s Elbow. There was a great gradual buildup overtime. The first People’s Elbow didn’t even garner crowd reaction, which let’s you know how far it came. D’Lo wasn’t just a fat quiet lackey one day, and an in-shape, head bobbing swagged out dude the next. Rock, Godfather, D’Lo, and Mark Henry all were built amazingly during that time, and I’m not sure if any stables since have had a careful natural build where guys started basically as soldiers and ended up 100% standout individuals.

Also to add, Farooq was the perfect commanding leader during that period, and could have easily even had a transitional type World title reign in ‘97. It would have been very easy to book that back then with that version of the Nation having a lot of ancillary guys. GOAT stable that made for must see tv, even though they could have been utilized better than they were.

8. The Savio and Crush years kinda drag it down, but the insertion and emergence of The Rock brings it up. D'Lo shining also puts it up. The odd addition of Owen Hart actually worked for a bit too :heh:. It's kinda unfortunate that Godfather and Mark Henry found their perfect character after the Nation disbanded (and in Mark's case years after) so we never got everyone at full overness (and Rock got even more over after the group).

Big fan as a kid. They were, along with Austin, Mankind, Goldust, etc. at the vanguard of the WWF’s transition from the New Generation to what would wind up being the Attitude era. And they played a pivotal part in that transition, bringing an edge that the company hadn’t really had before because there hadn’t been an act quite like them before. Faarooq was dropping HEAT in those promos against Ahmed, and their feud was pretty entertaining. It’s too bad Ahmed kept getting hurt, because I would’ve liked to have seen where that feud went.

They were also essential in the development of the Rock. The Nation was able to harness that negative heat he had as Rocky Maivia and channel it into proper heel heat. It gave him an act to grow in, to where eventually he grew into the leadership role and the group grew with him, with guys like Kama and D’lo Brown growing into their more well known personas. @Playaz Eyez said it better than I could :ehh:

Overall I give them an 8. The group’s start was rough, but they evolved organically and grew into a extremely entertaining act, serving as a springboard for one of the biggest stars of all time. If they had more success (which I don’t fault them for) I’d rank them a bit higher
