D-Generation X (commonly known and spelled as DX and D-X) was a professional wrestling tag team (formerly a stable) wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment.

The group originated in the midst of the WWF's "Attitude Era" from 1997 to 2000.[4] Their gimmick was that of a gang of rebels who acted and spoke as they pleased, no matter how provocative. DX is generally considered one of the most popular stables in pro wrestling history, not to mention, one of the most notable.

After its original run, the group underwent several roster changes, and disbanded in 1999. After a brief reunion in 2000, and a teased reunion in 2002, DX re-formed in June 2006 as the duo of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, until Triple H's quadricep injury at New Year's Revolution 2007.[5] After Triple H returned from injury in 2007, he and Michaels have teamed together as DX sporadically throughout 2007 and 2008.

History

Formation

DX was officially incarnated on 20th September 1997 at the One Night Only pay-per-view in Birmingham, England. It was during the genesis of what would become the WWF's highly successful "Attitude Era" in the latter half of 1997. Real-life friends and reported Cliq members Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (who began being known simply as Triple H) were the original two members, along with Helmsley's bodyguard, Chyna, and Michaels' "insurance policy", Rick Rude. Triple H and Michaels united after Michaels turned heel after hitting The Undertaker with a chair at SummerSlam 1997.[6] Initially getting together as allies aiding Michaels in his subsequent feud with the Undertaker as a result of Summerslam '97, DX officially got together at the One Night Only pay-per-view when Helmsley, Chyna and Rude helped Michaels win the WWF European Championship from British Bulldog.[3][7][8]

On October 13 1997, the group officially granted to themselves the name Degeneration X for the first time and debuted their trademark slogan, "Suck it!" They were often shown on television practicing sophomoric humor/crude humor and rebelling against authority figures in the company, two of them primarily Vince McMahon (then an on-air color commentator) and then-Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter, the latter of which DX made a particular habit of humiliating with the group giving him the nickname of "Sgt. Slobber". Their trademark "crotch chops" became one of the most popular gestures in pro wrestling while their "D-Generation X" T-shirts enjoyed considerable sales, and still do today.

The name D-Generation X was possibly taken from an opinion column by Phil Mushnick which appeared in TV Guide, in which Mushnick lambasted wrestling's primarily Generation X fanbase as degenerates, dubbing them "Degeneration X." On the other hand, Michaels' autobiography would suggest that it was in fact then-WWF head writer Vince Russo who first conceived the moniker for the popular faction.

On-screen, however, the name was taken from Bret Hart who claimed that Shawn Michaels and Triple H were nothing more than degenerates. D-Generation X's first feud was against Bret Hart and his Hart Foundation. This feud was unique because it involved two rival heel factions fighting with each other. The Nation of Domination, another heel stable, briefly got involved in the feud when D-Generation X vandalized their locker room & framed it on the Hart Foundation. This feud ended at Survivor Series 1997 when Shawn Michaels won his third WWF Championship in the infamous Montreal Screwjob which led to Bret leaving the company along with two of the remaining three members of the Foundation.[9][10] The only member that remained in the WWF, Owen Hart, continued to feud with DX, specifically Triple H.

"D-Generation X" was later used as the title for a WWF In Your House pay-per-view telecast on December 7, 1997. By this point, DX's capture of the World Championship & European Championship as well as their 'victory' in the feud with the Hart Foundation, solidified their status as the lead stable in the company, with this pay-per-view being representative of that fact. Michaels headlined the event as he was disqualified in a WWF Championship title defense against Ken Shamrock. Earlier that night, Triple H defeated Sgt. Slaughter with the help of Chyna in a Boot Camp match.[11] However, on December 11 edition of RAW is WAR (aired December 22), Michaels sacrificed the WWF European Championship for his DX teammate Triple H by letting Triple H pin him for the title.[12][13][14]

DX army

In the beginning of 1998, Triple H exchanged the WWF European Championship with Owen Hart.[15][16]

At WrestleMania XIV, Shawn Michaels was the reigning WWF Champion and Triple H was the reigning WWF European Champion. They recruited boxer Mike Tyson to act as the "Special Enforcer" in the main event of the night featuring Michaels against Stone Cold Steve Austin. At the end of the match, Tyson turned on D-Generation X and cost Michaels the match, thus starting the "Attitude Era" of WWF.[17] The night after this occurred, Michaels, putting his wrestling career on hold due to back injuries, was gone from the group. Triple H assumed full leadership of D-X and recruited X-Pac and the WWF Tag Team Champions New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn and Road Dogg) into the stable.

While the group were intended to remain as heels, they became hugely popular and were eventually pushed as faces. During this time, they feuded with The Rock and his group the Nation of Domination and then later, Vince McMahon's group Corporation.[18] The group remained united and hugely popular throughout all of 1998 and into early 1999. On editions of RAW is WAR in April and May, they went to a "war" with Nitro and "invaded" their headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.[18]

Heel turns

Throughout 1999 the members gradually turned on one another. Chyna turned on Triple H on the January 25, 1999 edition of RAW is WAR and joined the Corporation. Triple H, himself turned heel and joined The Corporation at WrestleMania XV by helping Shane McMahon retain the WWF European Championship when he betrayed his fellow stablemate X-Pac during the match.[18][19][20] Shortly after this incident, Billy Gunn, frustrated at being "held back", would also turn heel and departed from D-Generation X, therefore reducing the members to just Road Dogg and X-Pac.[18] However, X-Pac began to share a bond with Kane, holding the WWF Tag Team Championship twice which resulted in Kane becoming associated with the faction.[21][22][23]

Reformation in 1999

On October 25 1999, the group reformed as heels when Triple H and X-Pac helped New Age Outlaws defeat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.[18][24] From then until mid-2000, DX remained a strong and united group. In early 2000, however, Billy Gunn was placed out of action for several months after suffering an injury against the Dudley Boyz. On screen, Gunn's storyline involved him getting thrown out of DX because "he lost his cool".[18] X-Pac teamed with Road Dogg, but the two never reached the heights of the New Age Outlaws. At WrestleMania 2000, Vince McMahon turned on The Rock and aided Triple H in retaining his title.[25] The group was officially dubbed the McMahon-Helmsley Faction (it had earlier gone by the name "McMahon-Helmsley Regime").

The following month The Rock defeated Triple H at Backlash 2000 in a match which featured Steve Austin's brief return to the WWF.[26] Though Triple H would regain the title the following month at Judgment Day 2000,[27] the group gradually broke apart. By late 2000, Triple H was a solo star. On the November 6 2000 edition of RAW is WAR, the group temporarily rejoined (except for X-Pac, who was injured) to take on The Radicalz (Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn) in an 8-man tag team match, which DX won.[28] The match included the group doing their old DX entrance as well as telling the crowd to "Suck it!" It was the symbolic end to D-Generation X. However, the members of DX (excluding Triple H) and K-Kwik, Road Dogg's then-tag team partner, feuded with the Radicalz that month, eventually leading to a match at Survivor Series 2000 involving the same 8 wrestlers, except for Triple H, who was replaced by K-Kwik. The Radicalz won the match.[29]

After that, DX remained unseen and largely unspoken of until Shawn Michaels returned to WWE in 2002. On the July 22 2002 (Shawn Michaels' 37th birthday) edition of RAW, a week after the breakup of the nWo, Triple H handed Shawn Michaels a DX t-shirt and stated he "had an idea," suggesting that the two reform the group. The duo later came out that night to their old music and crotch chops to the delight of the crowd. However, Triple H turned on Michaels on that same night; he had teased the reunion as a ploy to appease Michaels and lure him to the ring before giving him a Pedigree.[30] This act led to the in-ring return of Shawn Michaels at SummerSlam 2002 and the genesis of a long feud between the two.[31]

Reformation in 2006

In 2006, a series of events occurred which hinted at a DX reunion. At WrestleMania 22, former members Shawn Michaels and Triple H performed the crotch chop during their respective matches, which was met with loud cheering from the fans in attendance.[32] The two continued to deliver chops in the following episodes of Raw as Michaels feuded with Vince McMahon and Triple H focused on the WWE Championship, repeatedly running into Vince McMahon in the process.

On the June 12 edition of Raw, the events came to a head, when, during Triple H's gauntlet match against the Spirit Squad, Shawn Michaels came in to help his former companion. After the duo had laid out the entire Spirit Squad, the two men began to perform their crotch chops. DX continued their brash antics at the expense of the Spirit Squad, Vince and Shane McMahon and Jonathan Coachman for several weeks and repeatedly took part in blatantly camp product placement during Raw promos.[33][34] Most of their antics involved practical jokes on Vince.

On the June 26 edition of Raw, they added to the list of parodies with Triple H impersonating Vince McMahon, talking about his love of "Dicks" (referring to Dick Ebersol, Dick Clark, and Dick Cheney), while Michaels impersonated Shane McMahon (this episode is also famous for being the "Holy Shit" episode due to excrement being dumped on Vince and Shane McMahon and the entire Spirit Squad).[35] During their feud, DX defeated the Spirit Squad at Vengeance 2006 and on the July 15 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event,[36][37] as well as The McMahons (Vince and Shane) at SummerSlam 2006.[38] At Unforgiven 2006 in a handicap Hell in a Cell match that featured The Big Show on The McMahons' side, DX again came out victorious.[39]

DX's next feud was with Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton). At Cyber Sunday 2006, the fans selected Eric Bischoff over Vince McMahon and Jonathan Coachman to be the special guest referee for the match. Bischoff allowed the illegal use of a steel chair to give Rated-RKO the win, but not without controversy. With this, Rated-RKO became the first team to "defeat" DX in a tag team match since their reunion in June 2006.[33][40] At Survivor Series 2006, Michaels and Triple H would get back at Edge and Orton in a big way by leading Team DX (Triple H, Michaels, Matt and Jeff Hardy, and CM Punk) to a dominating 5-0 sweep over Team Rated-RKO (Edge, Orton, Gregory Helms, Johnny Nitro, and Mike Knox).[33][41]

2007

DX after RAW went off the air on October 29 2007.

In 2007, DX would finally challenge for the World Tag Team Championship against Edge and Orton at New Year's Revolution 2007 in Kansas City. The fight would end in a no-contest after Michaels hit the referee. During the match, Triple H suffered a legit torn quadriceps after botching a spinebuster. After the match, DX would then proceed to beat down Rated-RKO with steel chairs and on the announce tables.

2008

Michaels and Triple H would team up again under the D-Generation X gimmick on the January 28 episode of Raw defeating Umaga and Snitsky.[42] Despite DX reforming for one night only occasions, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels have used the "crotch chop" since the one night only returns. A future reunion of the Michaels/Triple H incarnation of DX has been rendered unlikely due to Triple H being drafted to SmackDown in the 2008 WWE Draft.

Note: The last DX theme (used from their reunion in 2006, and their one night reunions) was actually a remix of the original theme, "Break It Down".[citation needed] This version has a little more rock and less percussion.

Incarnations

Signature taunts

Crotch chop

DX doing their pyro routine with John Cena

When DX formed they began doing a gesture where they would put one arm on each side of their crotch and point down. This was known as the "crotch chop". There is an alternate version of the "crotch chop" where instead of pointing down on each side of their sides, they point down and make their arms in an "X" formation, over their stomach/crotch. However, when DX reformed in 2006 Michaels said he felt uncomfortable doing the real "crotch chop" so he would do the alternate version, as he had become a born again Christian since the last D-Generation X incarnation.[43]

When DX enters the ring they do a pyro routine. Green X pyrotechnics go off three times, with DX crotch-chopping at each firing. They then pause for a second, then chop once more as the pyrotechnics fire again.

Suck it!

"Suck it!" is DX's signature slogan. This is also used in their popular "Let's get ready to suck it!" routine, originally a parody of Michael Buffer's "Let's get ready to rumble!"

The routine starts when Triple H asks the audience "Are you ready?" He then shouts "No, (city name), I said ARE YOU READY?" to elicit a louder reaction from the crowd. He continues and says "Then, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching at home. Let's get ready to suck it!" Shawn Michaels then ends the routine by saying "And if you're not down with that, then we got two words for ya." before sticking up the microphone up in the air for the crowd to scream "Suck it!"* As well, Triple H will often say the match is for someone else, varying on their recent exploits and who they're about to wrestle (e.g., "and for Vince, who is home right now choking his chicken" when they had previously sent Vince home injured.)

Another taunt DX performs, is crossing their forearms above their head, making an "suck-it" formation.

  • This itself is a variation of The New Age Outlaws' (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) version with Billy Gunn speaking the same part as Shawn Michaels after Road Dogg would make a line of, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages; D-Generation X proudly brings to you its Tag-Team Champions of the World! The Road Dogg Jesse James, The Bad Ass Billy Gunn: The New Age Outlaws!"

nWo influence and D-X inspiration

DX is believed to have been heavily influenced by World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) New World Order (nWo) (although WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has denied this on many occasions). In fact, Michaels and Triple H themselves have confessed on numerous occasions that Vince was actually strongly opposed to their idea of having yet another group of wrestlers (since he already had Bret Hart and the Hart Foundation, as well as Faarooq and the Nation of Domination). However, Vince later agreed for the duo to continue with their conceptual plot. Interestingly enough, Triple H later confessed that Chyna's introduction to the WWF was actually a part of the whole concept that would eventually become D-Generation X.

While there are many similarities between the groups, there are also many differences that separate the two factions- for example, the nWo was a group that attempted to take over WCW, whereas D-Generation X were only seen as a bunch of rebels whom did whatever they did whenever they wanted to- regardless of how proactive their activities were. Also, unlike the nWo, D-Generation X were notorious for their adult oriented mannerisms that they featured in their slogans, taunts, promos, interview and backstage work; the large majority of them were sexually explicit- assumingly inspired by their sense of humor backstage.

It also was one of the main contributing factors to the World Wrestling Federation's Attitude Era- the other was the huge popularity of Stone Cold Steve Austin and his storyline feud with the owner Mr McMahon. Incidentally, D-X and the nWo included members of professional wrestling's The Clique (with Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman as the only two Clique alumni as members of both stables).

Similar events have taken place that echoed the infamous actions of D-Generation X, namely their "invasions" of WCW Monday Nitro. TNA pulled a similar stunt on WWE years later, with WWE threatening to sue to prevent TNA from showing any of the footage on their TNA Impact!. In late 2004, WWE came to Universal Studios (where TNA tapes their shows) to shoot a Royal Rumble commercial. Tracy Brooks, along with Shane Douglas, Abyss, and the 3Live Kru came to greet the WWE wrestlers with milk and cookies. Ron Killings also took some mahi-mahi off the catering table.

Impact

WCW often dominated WWE in the ratings during the infamous Monday Night Wars. It wasn't until 1998 when DX broke into the mainstream and became a key instigator of WWE's "Attitude Era" that WWE began to develop an edge over its rival. After DX, Triple H and Shawn Michaels would be the only two members to maintain success in WWE. Triple H has gone on to become a multiple time WWE Champion, holding it 12 times since 2008, While Michaels would win the World Heavyweight Championship in 2002.

DX has been hailed as one of the greatest stables in wrestling history, often being compared to former WCW rivals new World order and The Four Horsemen, a stable that became quite popular in the 1980s and whose leader, Ric Flair, has been seen as a hero of members of DX, most notably Triple H and Michaels.
