They’re overrated as a faction because everyone calls them the greatest faction of all time when that’s just not true were only around for about a year and a half they were incredible don’t get me wrong but they’re overrated because the individuals are more impressive than the faction itself
@@IronMike412same. One barely speaks english but introduced me to wwe and eventually stopped watching after corona. He couldn't like people who were better on the mic than in the ring. And the other one i had to introduce to wwe but mostly via the games.
I think the Nexus could have been successful at putting at least SOME of their members over, but the Cena burying thing was not the only thing that killed them. Bryan couldn't benefit because he was fired, Wade (Who the nexus most likely was built around getting over) got injured, and the rest I don't think were supposed to get over with the Nexus, just support the ones that were and then do something else later. Although Heath definitely isn't getting his deserved credit here. He was portrayed stronger until WWE realized he was such a safe worker and crowd manipulator that he would be the guy to carry the legends. He was even the guy they entrusted with Bret Hart during house shows. He had a lot of potential
I'd argue that Shawn was just as much a part of it as Austin and Dustin were in '97 with his slowburn to top heel status. His antics pushed things in a more crass direction in character and in reality and that was before DX was official. Goldust and Stone Cold were more ahead of their time, and Goldust especially took a while before he became an envelope-pushing character.
Wait so Steve´s take on the New day is the exact opposite of his take of The Shield? ¨The shield is underrated because without it they wouldn´t be where they are today¨ ¨The New Day is overrated because they wouldn¨t be what they are today without the faction¨ wat And the brood, wtf
exactly, he's punishing them for becoming better as a collective than they would've ever been on their own, which is sort of the whole point of a faction
@@joejay4646're way too quick to call someone racist my friend (as an half Libyan). He put nothing but praise onto all black groups like Hurt Business and the Nation. His New Day take is awful, but let's not start throwing such harmful accusations based on a little hypocrisy just because the victims of said hypocrisy happen to be black. That takes attention away from actual harmful racism.
A lot of these factions aren’t under or overrated . We need to add in properly rated because a lot of these factions have a jury of fans in the same grade. Evolution, DX are some examples off factions that everyone knows how good they were
I don't understand why so many people consider The Nexus overrated... First of all, don't ignore the fact that Danyel Brian and Bray Wyat (husky harris back in 2010) were also members of it. And cmon, they litteraly destroyd everything on their debut and caused a huge impact in raw every single week for like a whole year! Wade Barret was pretty good at the mic and as a leader as well. The feud with John and then CmPunk actually carryied Raw for some time. In my opinion, underrated af...
Not the first time some cranky lads broke a ring, and this did absolutely nothing for Bray Wyatt. Nexus was basically a strip club which was a poor version of the nWo.
I'm confused. Steve said The Shield is underrated because without it existing, the three wouldn't be superstars. And said New Day is overrated... for the same reason.
I don’t think they would have lasted much longer though. There were very few who had potential, those exceptions being wade, bray, heath, potentially ryback and cm punk but he was already elevated.
i feel like when looking at factions, the criteria should only be within the time that the faction was together. i feel like steve quite literally looked at everything EXCEPT when the factions were together.
@@TrainerLanden yeah he never said anything wrong it was just that he wasn’t looking at the factions. he was looking at their members outside of the factions.
Didn’t this guy say that the shield is underrated because without it, Roman, Seth, and Mox would’ve never been at the top, but then he said that the New Day is overrated for that same exact reason
Don't ever let Santi speak about the shield again man. This faction is what made me love wwe. Tag team championship run was amazing. Just watch the match vs the usos to understand, they were amazing during 2013-2014. Their debut match is one of my favourite matches ever. He was right about ambrose's run tho. I will say that the shield grew even better from october and onwards but before that they were good too, just not AS good as later.
He didn’t he didn’t call them bad he called them overrated which they are the most overrated faction in the business. They were brought back together twice after their initial disband, and their two times they were brought back together was an awful run. They never did anything truly special within the faction other than having some pretty good matches. Their singles career is way better than them as a faction
@@nathanielbonett2928calling the second run awful is kind of unfair and in my opinion , untrue. it practically consisted of just one (really good) match against New Day at Survivor Series and then Ambrose got injured and we never got to see it go any further. That third run however was absolutely awful. I'm still shocked that those three were capable of something that bad.
@@nathanielbonett2928 and they would have most likely never gotten here without the team. I agree their reunions were not as amazing especially 2017, but 2017 roman got injured so it kinda got weird how angle had to replace him and after that ambrose got injured. 2018's reunion, roman got leukemia. And when they went back together they had to wrap up 2018's storyline in a month to say goodbye to ambrose. The circumstances are more what ruined it. The shield had cool ass promos, and yes amazing matches, when they started working for the authority and were like a punishment to every superstar that would say something bad about the authority was good. But then triple h didn't wanna make it too obvious that he was a dictator so he threw the shield in uneven matches. Entrance was cool, attire was cool and everybody can agree that cody and goldie vs rollins and reigns was awesome. They had a great survivor series match which started the push of reigns after he lost the tag titles. This started with dean and roman clashing with seth becoming the peacemaker but we all know how legendary they become in 2014. But before that they also had an amazing feud with punk, who was their mentor. I personally also liked the attacks they did on superstars in early 2013 where they tried to hide they were working for punk. The only time shield was kinda boring was from july-august. November=their debut december=awesome tlc match and debut of their promos January=protecting punk February=great elimination chamber match and split up from cm punk after being exposed March=build-up to wrestlemania debut match which is in april so kinda unfair to rate them on that one April=title matches May=real start of the undefeated streak June=their undefeated streak is ended (Bad)July=random six-man tag matches but had a great money in the bank kickoff match that should have been on the main show (Bad) august=summerslam kickoff match vs rvd for u.s. title ends in disqualification. September=they start working for the authority October=the rhodes feud November=the push of roman reigns and the clash between the shield December=great feud with punk 2014 and onwards should be agreed that they were amazing and otherwise you can ask me again. Sorry for making you read all this but these are few of my favourite superstars so i gotta *justify* them...get it.
What about Imperium? They're a faction too, right? It's a tag team and a faction all in one right? I wonder why Steve and Santi didn't talk about Imperium, they're a good faction tho
14:32 I always thought it should have been like Shelton Benjamin and Haas and someone like Farooq/Ron Simmons, Kanyon (always a personal favorite of mine even when he was Morris, which I think was one of the coolest outfits n masks tbh), Chuck Palumbo, Sean O’Haire (two guys I loved in WCW bk in the day tbh), to where you had the tag team you could actual;y feel good about holding the tag belts and it no be the Basham brothers, and have another big guy to help be the muscle for JBL to keep him from having to do all the heavy lifting himself and someone I think was good enough to hold one of those upper tier mid card belts as deserved a good push tbh.
Its just the hypocrisy and lack of consistency in Steve's Judgment Day and New Day takes that needs to be called out. Have we forgotten that when the New Day formed, everybody wanted them to disband right away but now they are right up there with the Usos as one of the best tag teams of recent times. Sure, their WWE careers should be able to hold some kind of merit on their own, which Kofi's career does. A good faction is supposed to elevate its members and it has. Seriously, when you start to overlook logic and instead use your feelings to call something "overrated" and then call Judgement Day, a faction with similar circumstances (everyone wanted them disbanded at first, just like the New Day) "underated" Don't be surprised when wrestling fans are judging you as hypocritical. This was a completely biased and hypocritical take that goes past the matter of personal opinion.
@@joejay4646I mean judgement day people also wanted to disband at first, but judgement day also just had more known talent and had edge be the reason it starts. New Day never had a Finn Balor type of wrestler in it. While Judgement Day has at least a single well known star who would be popular today without judgement day, new day doesn’t really. Like they’re fantastic together and have one of the greatest wwe tag teams and carried a good bit of wwes tag team division, but in l honesty without new day they wouldn’t be nearly as popular as they are(which was the dudes point in the first place).
@@e-o-o A lot of that is just circumstances though. When Big E won Money in the Bank, the crowd organically popped because Big E was built up to a championship level and fans wanted to see him win. Then they botched his cash in and title run. But its because of the New Day that Kofi and Big E even had world championships, its because of the New Day that some people even want Woods to get a world title run and that is possible, and the only reason that would be possible is because of the New Day.
@@joejay4646 wwe failed big e they had no plan for him as champion when they created the perfect storyline for him. Lashley ended woods and Kofi. Big e comes out on raw calls his shot at summerslam something we need from mitb instead he cashes in randomly and has a match with drew lol
I love this... but I think there are a few factions on this list that should just be neutral in a sense. Not under or over. This is just my opinion, though. Love the content 👌
Returbtion was underrated when Ali joined and he was reveled as the hacker on smackdown that should have down something. But Vince has never been a fan of Ali and he set them up for failure.

Shield is the best tag team of all times. Without the Shield, we would not have the Bloodline, the Architect, or anything like that. We wouldn't have Dean Ambrose's creative genius and nobody would have known about Jon Moxley. The Shield elevated these three guys, it propelled them into super stardom IMMEDIATELY, which they have ALL proven was the right call all along. The Shield still has one of the best intros of all time, them coming through the crowd with that recorded "Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta. Shield." Made them seem like the greatest shit ever. It was what got me back into being a wrestling fan, I had given up after all the super Cena garbage, the destruction of the Nexus, the mega fiasco that was Sheamus kicking Daniel Bryans in the face. Them as the Shield was best as enforcers and protectors of CM Punk, their self-righteous nonsense? Perfection, it was so well crafted, they were so awful, and yet so fucking cool. They came in destroyed the place and left. The New Day is the second best three man tag team of all time, they are baby faces, people hated them, I hated them, they had to grow on me... But the Shield? INSTANT classic, no hindsight needed.
Steve's take on the New Day was pretty bad and it sounded like he was describing them as underrated. Gotta look at the factions from where they start to where they are now/where they ended. Post faction and pre-faction status ruins it simply because trash can become treasure (such as the New Day saving careers and raising the guys up the card), while some turn treasure into trash (Retribution taking great talents and making them jokes). To call any faction overrated that built ALL members up to the main event scene from lower midcard/jobber level is wild to me. That's like calling Evolution overrated because without it, Batista and Orton wouldn't have become top level talents or at least wouldn't have been elevated to that level as quickly as they were (Orton was a boring white meat babyface and Deacon Batista.... need I say more)
You definitely need a perfectly rated category because that's where the Shield lies tbh, same with the Bloodline, New Day, and Judgement which are great examples
@@haywardhummus8777 raw is horrible I don’t think I’ll ever watch raw again. Smackdown got the bloodline but nothing else I don’t watch either those shows that’s why I been thinking about watching nxt do they actual have storylines. Or do they just focus on one group and legends
I'm glad I'm not the only one that loved the original Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt was must see TV during that run. I still want him to put the Were He're back in his entrance.
Ministry of darkness is a faction.I really thought that would be in this video but anyway this video shows how much character workers that wwe gives us.Those ara so good man❤️🔥
I love the Nexus, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but it is my favorite faction (mostly due to nostalgia), but a lot of what I like about it revolves around the pre-SummerSlam part of it. They were great in the beginning, but keep in mind, losing in SummerSlam wasn't the ONLY thing that buried the Nexus. It got soggy the moment Daniel Bryan got fired, effectively ruining the point of them being rebellious heels, and then them losing to Cena at SummerSlam, and then Cena continuously beating them in almost every single payperview, and the fact it was basically throwing random NXT guys and Mason Ryan into it. I think the original 7-8 (whether or not you want to count Daniel Bryan) was fine, but they did not capitalize on it almost at all. Also the faction did not fit some of them. I'm sorry, but Justin Gabriel can not be a understandable heel. He's a young highflyer who always would smile, and not even a cocky smile or anything. It's like turning Evan Bourne or Rey Mysterio heel. Same with Darren Young at the time due to his gimmick of being a South Beach Party Boy and Skip Sheffield cause he was meant to be the country comedy character. If it felt more like a cult-like faction with Wade as their leader who they bowed down to would be much better for the group overall
I don't think you guys know what underrated and overrated mean. You seem to think it just means do i like them or not. You have to look at where they are generally rated by most people and then do you think they deserve to be higher or lower than that. There is no current wwe faction rated higher than judgment Day, so judgment Day cannot possible be considered underrated. Where else could they go? They can only be appropriately rated or overrated.
Overrated: NWO Authority Unamericans League of Nations Spirit Squad Corporation Underrated: Undisputed Era Shield Evolution DX Nation of Domination New Day Bloodline Wyatt Family
Yea, the nexus didnt have anyone great tbh... the only one who could have been an upper main card-main eventer was Wade Barrett. Funny.. as i typed this you literally said wade barret was the only one as well.
Retribution overrated because they should have never been on tv. Calling the hart foundation overrated is insane they are easily one of the greatest factions ever
I’m so happy someone else agrees that Bret is maybe the most overrated wrestler of all time. I’m sure some people will fight me about it but I’m glad a more known wrestling lover agrees
4:41 i disagree with Santi the shield was amazing but I also agree with Criss as dean ambrose is no we’re near as big and gets buried in WWE Roman gets pushed even earlier and Seth is just a midcarder
@@walkinducksthey literally said they would have been buried and failed if cena didn’t bury them. No they wouldn’t. Barrett was ready for the main event a faction doesn’t need to create multiple world champions so be great
Omg!!!! Steve gave the worst take I think I’ve ever heard. To say the new day is overrated is beyond absurd. That was the worst wrestling take I’ve ever said. Low key that’s why I prefer watching just santi over straight shoot.
And I see commenters saying Steve is racist. As a black man I won’t do that because he hadn’t shown us that. I don’t believe he’s racist. But I think that was a beyond stupid take. He basically contradicted himself with the Shield and I believe another faction. Like the new day is a top 10 wwe faction of all time. I’m sorry that is horrible
He makes my head hurt kofi is a multi time us and ic and tag champion before the new day saying he was trash and big was a ic and NXt world champion so his take is straight up dumb and and when they came together they broke a lot of tag team records and they won money in the back 2 world titles and a king of the ring which is individual stuff so idk how he said then as individuals is trash idk how you get that
Rétribution was super trash it doesn't fit in any of the two categories it should be in a special category called rated trash same with the JBL cabinet ngl
I feel like you should have had a rating for “Accurately rated”. Some factions are widely agreed upon regarding their value.
Yeah, this video misuses the word underrated on almost every occasions.
He really said the Bloodline was overrated...
It is@@witbio
Very true I was thinking of the same
The SHIELD is not overrated. I agree that there was more that could’ve been done by them, but I’d say they’re either perfectly rated or underrated
They’re overrated as a faction because everyone calls them the greatest faction of all time when that’s just not true were only around for about a year and a half they were incredible don’t get me wrong but they’re overrated because the individuals are more impressive than the faction itself

Shield is the best tag team of all times. Without the Shield, we would not have the Bloodline, the Architect, or anything like that. We wouldn't have Dean Ambrose's creative genius and nobody would have known about Jon Moxley.
The Shield elevated these three guys, it propelled them into super stardom IMMEDIATELY, which they have ALL proven was the right call all along. The Shield still has one of the best intros of all time, them coming through the crowd with that recorded "Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta. Shield." Made them seem like the greatest shit ever. It was what got me back into being a wrestling fan, I had given up after all the super Cena garbage, the destruction of the Nexus, the mega fiasco that was Sheamus kicking Daniel Bryans in the face. Them as the Shield was best as enforcers and protectors of CM Punk, their self-righteous nonsense? Perfection, it was so well crafted, they were so awful, and yet so fucking cool. They came in destroyed the place and left.
The New Day is the second best three man tag team of all time, they are baby faces, people hated them, I hated them, they had to grow on me... But the Shield? INSTANT classic, no hindsight needed.
You should make second part of this video with The Authority
Steve's take on the New Day was pretty bad and it sounded like he was describing them as underrated. Gotta look at the factions from where they start to where they are now/where they ended. Post faction and pre-faction status ruins it simply because trash can become treasure (such as the New Day saving careers and raising the guys up the card), while some turn treasure into trash (Retribution taking great talents and making them jokes). To call any faction overrated that built ALL members up to the main event scene from lower midcard/jobber level is wild to me. That's like calling Evolution overrated because without it, Batista and Orton wouldn't have become top level talents or at least wouldn't have been elevated to that level as quickly as they were (Orton was a boring white meat babyface and Deacon Batista.... need I say more)
I feel like the shield is underrated they had so much left but wwe made McMahon desicions not triple h desicionns
I would like to collab as well with you Santi and speaking abt wrestling😀😀
You definitely need a perfectly rated category because that's where the Shield lies tbh, same with the Bloodline, New Day, and Judgement which are great examples
One faction that is underrated is the way from nxt.
They were comedy gold
Is nxt the best wwe show today? I been thinking about watching it
Yea NXT is amazing now
@@angelo9534would you say it’s better than smackdown and raw?
@@pleaseshutup7053it depends on what you like. Raw & SD are the main shows, with all of the main storylines.
@@haywardhummus8777 raw is horrible I don’t think I’ll ever watch raw again. Smackdown got the bloodline but nothing else I don’t watch either those shows that’s why I been thinking about watching nxt do they actual have storylines. Or do they just focus on one group and legends
I'm glad I'm not the only one that loved the original Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt was must see TV during that run. I still want him to put the Were He're back in his entrance.
am i the only one that saw Santis react the same like it was prerecorded
These 2 are the only ones to have a full conversation in the middle of a show and make it the most entertaining part of it.
There's a very big difference between a good character nd giving a good story line. A good character doesn't intend to always give a good storyline.
What program do you use for the editing?
13:00 you can just see in zantis eyes: “who tf is Austin creed?”
The Nexus was neither under or over - rated, the Nexus wasn't a good faction.
The Nexus had a good concept, and debut, but too many people.
Ministry of darkness is a faction.I really thought that would be in this video but anyway this video shows how much character workers that wwe gives us.Those ara so good man❤️🔥
would do anything to have the Undisputed Era back. absolutely loved them.
"they still have a lot of steam left in them" is not a description for an overrated faction.
What I say are Factions are groups with 4 people or more than 3 people are a trio and 2 people are tag teams
Didn’t expect bomb-omb battlefield
The New Day have not been on TV in quite a while. Big E has been injured for over a year. Kingston last wrestled in February and Woods in May.
I love the Nexus, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but it is my favorite faction (mostly due to nostalgia), but a lot of what I like about it revolves around the pre-SummerSlam part of it. They were great in the beginning, but keep in mind, losing in SummerSlam wasn't the ONLY thing that buried the Nexus. It got soggy the moment Daniel Bryan got fired, effectively ruining the point of them being rebellious heels, and then them losing to Cena at SummerSlam, and then Cena continuously beating them in almost every single payperview, and the fact it was basically throwing random NXT guys and Mason Ryan into it. I think the original 7-8 (whether or not you want to count Daniel Bryan) was fine, but they did not capitalize on it almost at all. Also the faction did not fit some of them. I'm sorry, but Justin Gabriel can not be a understandable heel. He's a young highflyer who always would smile, and not even a cocky smile or anything. It's like turning Evan Bourne or Rey Mysterio heel. Same with Darren Young at the time due to his gimmick of being a South Beach Party Boy and Skip Sheffield cause he was meant to be the country comedy character. If it felt more like a cult-like faction with Wade as their leader who they bowed down to would be much better for the group overall
about the nexus you forget about daniel brayen
Wade Barrett should’ve never been a jobber. He’s a world champ….
I feel like Cena held him back.
@@TomAndrews91 and injuries
Did they forget that Daniel bryan technically is part of Nexus
for about 15 minutes of screentime, yes.
I wish to see the hot take on the brawling brutes
Bums
Everything can't be overrated or underrated. There is also propery rated. The Judgment day is properly rated.
I don't think you guys know what underrated and overrated mean. You seem to think it just means do i like them or not. You have to look at where they are generally rated by most people and then do you think they deserve to be higher or lower than that. There is no current wwe faction rated higher than judgment Day, so judgment Day cannot possible be considered underrated. Where else could they go? They can only be appropriately rated or overrated.
Barret, Slater and Gabriel all had immense potential imo
Who’da thunk that Finn Balor would be the weakest link by far in judgement day?
He really said the Bloodline are overrated....
What about Legacy and the Authority
I am glad that Im not the only one. the OC imo is one of THE top tag teams in all of wrestling.
Was never a fan of The Shield over rated agreed they better apart xx
Damage CTRL most underrated
Judgement day is good but dom dom is horrible
I hope to god that bobby and hhh have something incredible brewing now
The comparison should be Overrated - Perfectly Rated - Underrated.
How can a faction that is universally hated, be overrated
Overrated:
NWO
Authority
Unamericans
League of Nations
Spirit Squad
Corporation
Underrated:
Undisputed Era
Shield
Evolution
DX
Nation of Domination
New Day
Bloodline
Wyatt Family
Imo evolution is easily the goat. Hhh, flair, orton and Batista ?? Good tf luck
pretty sure that girl from the S.E.S is now on AEW
What about that faction with Seth Rollins buddy Murphy and those other two guys
Yea, the nexus didnt have anyone great tbh... the only one who could have been an upper main card-main eventer was Wade Barrett. Funny.. as i typed this you literally said wade barret was the only one as well.
the shield is a top 3 best faction ever, maybe even then greatest
Not the greatest
Idk how evolution is underrated. I think all WWE rams give them respect so they should be properly rated
Guy on the left just fkn waffles on and on and on repeating himself

Retribution overrated because they should have never been on tv. Calling the hart foundation overrated is insane they are easily one of the greatest factions ever
Hear Me Out , If the League Of Nations(Sheamus,Del Rio ,Wade Barrett , Rusev ) was booked right they would’ve been better than they was
I’m so happy someone else agrees that Bret is maybe the most overrated wrestler of all time. I’m sure some people will fight me about it but I’m glad a more known wrestling lover agrees
Watching this video just a week after Bray passed 😢😢😢 27:19

Funny thing is the Hurt business IS reforming, hopefully they reach Judgement day status
If we’re putting all of undisputed era on mount rushmore you are absolutely not putting Johnny without Ciampa

It’s gunther and bums

So nobody is talking about sAnitY. I mean Eric Young. However retribution gets a mention. Haha I love ya guys.
Woods never gets the respect he deserves and it drives me crazy.
4:41 i disagree with Santi the shield was amazing but I also agree with Criss as dean ambrose is no we’re near as big and gets buried in WWE Roman gets pushed even earlier and Seth is just a midcarder
Nexus is underrated cena killed them they had the best debut of any faction
This is a cena fan boy channel of course they don’t blame nexus fall on cena
@@pleaseshutup7053bro they said that it was the nail in the coffin what are you talking about
@@walkinducksthey literally said they would have been buried and failed if cena didn’t bury them. No they wouldn’t. Barrett was ready for the main event a faction doesn’t need to create multiple world champions so be great
@@pleaseshutup7053And yet all three members of the shield became world champions
@@Dizaxly-69 and Santi said the shield was overrated 😆
Omg!!!! Steve gave the worst take I think I’ve ever heard. To say the new day is overrated is beyond absurd. That was the worst wrestling take I’ve ever said. Low key that’s why I prefer watching just santi over straight shoot.
And I see commenters saying Steve is racist. As a black man I won’t do that because he hadn’t shown us that. I don’t believe he’s racist. But I think that was a beyond stupid take. He basically contradicted himself with the Shield and I believe another faction. Like the new day is a top 10 wwe faction of all time. I’m sorry that is horrible
He makes my head hurt kofi is a multi time us and ic and tag champion before the new day saying he was trash and big was a ic and NXt world champion so his take is straight up dumb and and when they came together they broke a lot of tag team records and they won money in the back 2 world titles and a king of the ring which is individual stuff so idk how he said then as individuals is trash idk how you get that
Jon Moxley is not “easily the most popular person in AEW” insane take lmao. It’s been MJF ever since the CM Punk-Young Bucks brawl.
Rétribution was super trash it doesn't fit in any of the two categories it should be in a special category called rated trash same with the JBL cabinet ngl
Steve didn’t understand the assignment
