3) The Nation of Domination - WWE

The Nation of Domination formed shortly before the start of WWE's Attitude Era, with Faarooq forming his unit. Before coming to the company, there was another faction under the same alias in the USWA. The tag team PG-13 was a part of that stable and also joined Faarooq in WWE's first iteration of the infamous group. Crush, Savio Vega and D-Lo Brown would also join the stable.

Their initial feud was with Faarooq's main rival Ahmed Johnson. They were on opposite sides with Ahmed at WWE WrestleMania 13 in a six-man Chicago Street Fight. Johnson teamed up with Legion of Doom to face Faarooq, Savio Vega and Crush in a losing effort for the Nation. They then faced Ahmed in a Gauntlet Match at A Cold Day In Hell, with Faarooq pinning his rival in the final bout.

Faarooq excommunicated PG-13, Savio Vega and Crush to replace them with Kama Mustafa and Ahmed Johnson. However, Ahmed suffered an injury that forced him out of the group. They replaced him with their most famed member, Rocky Maivia. Former members Savio Vega and Crush formed their own groups, Los Boricuas and Disciples of Apocalypse, to start WWE's "gang war."

Rocky Maivia would then become known as The Rock and win the Intercontinental Championship, which led to him growing cockier. The Nation of Domination recruited Mark Henry into the group thanks to The Rock. Kama would become known as The Godfather during this time as well. This eventually led to The Rock taking control and kicking Faarooq out of the stable he created.

The Nation went on to its most high profile success under The Rock's leadership. They recruited Owen Hart and found themselves in their most famed rivalry with D-Generation X. The two stables were embedded in a feud that captured the imagination of the WWE fans and made several members into bonafide stars. The Nation was influential in giving WWE a jolt of diversity during the Attitude Era.
