Triple H appeared at a Sixers game with Joel Embiid to hype the crowd as DX. And the building was extremely hyped up and they knew exactly what DX is. That just further proves the legendary status of the group.
Seeing the way Billy Gunn has evolved into a wrestler who knows exactly who he is, and is using that ludicrous level of charm and charisma to guide AEW talents makes my heart warm.
The reason DX were in the end more successful than the NWO is that while there were plenty of champions in the group, they did not grow too big and they were not afraid to put other people over. The NWO grew too much and just suffocated WCW. Also, when we talk about the greatest talkers of all time, Road Dogg is sooooo underrated. He was great on the mic.
jtp2007 Other than RIC FLAIR the nWo was the ONLY thing that made WCW RELEVANT. THAT FACT was PROVEN when Jeff Jarrett went to WCW after holding UP poor Mr. McMahon. SERVED Jarrett RIGHT to get his ASS KICKED by Chyna.
Also towards the end of NWO's original lifespan it was a mess of back stage politicking and gatekeeping, with Nash hall and hogan basically killing any of the younger talents push
WCW lost the plot with the NWO. They were always supposed to be a band of rebels trying to take control of WCW and management handed them the keys because they were so popular (and WCW was fighting a ratings war with WWE).
No Kane? I mean he was an "unofficial" member but when he was teaming with X-Pac he was a major part of the D-X angles and accompanied them to the ring and such. Hell, when he first spoke in WWE his words were "Suck it!" so you're not getting much more D-X than that.
@@mjstory1976 I'm aware of that. But he *was* directly involved in numerous angles with D-X and basically acted as the enforcer of the group. I mean the whole story at the time was Chyna and Triple H had turned on D-X and joined the Corporation and had turned on Kane who then teamed with X-Pac so had effectively switched sides. It's basically a case of he was a member in all but being "officially" sworn in.
@@shakthiprksh its the song that Adam sings before he starts called: "What happened to that wrestler??.....". now we gotta start over...Norman Smiley, Earthquake....
@@jrsmith1998 Not Gonna Lie I Was Like “ Hold On ! Wats HE Doing Wit Them ?! “ I Wanted To Yell At The TV “ EITHER HE LEAVES DX OR I DO” Triple H Made The Right Decision & Sealed It Wit A Pedigree
Oh boy, this is such an interesting topic for a video i always wondered what Triple H, Billy Gunn and Kane doing this days. Can you do one for every member of Evolution or Undisputed Era maybe?
well they would be short vids. Undisputed Era, Still all work for wwe in its Nxt brand Evolution: HHH: See DX Video. Randy Orton: still full time wrestler at wwe. Dave: Big time movie star. Ric Flair: retired, short stint in tna then returned to wwe as an ambassador and manager.
DX was the best stable with Michaels, HHH, Road Dogg, Chyna, Billy Gunn and X Pac.. You had to be alive in those days when these guys were making wrestling slapstick.
@@HyperActive7 Shotgun was filmed an hour before Raw went live and not aired until Saturday night. That's why it was mostly jobbers. By the time Smackdown came along DX was in it's form of HHH, X-Pac and the Outlaws. Chyna started doing her own thing and then Stephanie would join shortly after. That's how I remember it. So like I said the 6 of them were never together consecutively week after week. I only remember that one episode of Raw when HBK left the corporation and then he dissappeard after that for awhile.
Adam mentioned Rick Rude as one of only three people who were both in DX and The NWO but didn't mention the others. The other two are pretty obvious though: Shawn Waltman (X-Pac and Syxx) and HBK.
I only liked Shawn Michael, HHH, Chyna, Badd Ass Billy Gunn, Road Dogg Jess James, and XPac. I use to love to hear their introduction and hear each one's name. I would practice it all the time. Road Dogg was my favorite. I just really liked them.
My great grandmother used to baby sit Dylan (Hornswoggle) when he was a child. He's a /somewhat/ family friend I've met about three times. He's a wonderful guy and it's cool to have an association in away to DX haha
I'd say NWO had a better start but DX had a better finish. NWO was spawned as an invasion angle that went popular- but out of control. It devolved into a booking gang that suffocated WCW until the end, something of a curse. DX was spawned from Bret Hart's shoot on Shawn Michaels and Triple H and while it never got the main-event pop that NWO had, DX won out through longevity and identity.
what about honoree members Shane McMahon, Mankind, and Kane (Mankind and Kane were only including for a short bit to get titles but were betrayed right after the win as they were seen as "weak links" in the words of Triple H; Shane left after one of the many real life arguments with Vince caused to leave the company as he has done many times)
Hey Adam. Have you ever considered changing up the intro song with different random wrestlers? Like, make it a regular thing? You’ve definitely got the creativity to do it and it would be a big hit with the fans. Whaddaya think?
This. Definitely my favorite version of DX full stop. Though Shawn was putting on excellent matches even after he came back. Obviously he was older; however, it was like he didn't miss a beat! So I can't totally sign off on that second part in terms of athletic ability. Character wise though? He didn't really have one when he came back. I guess at that point he was just Shawn Michaels with nothing to prove?
You forgot to mention that Chyna was the first woman to enter the Royal Rumble match. She managed to eliminate a couple of guys before she herself got eliminated. How bad ass is that for ya?!
If D-generationX Came Back: Shawn Michaels: Himself Triple H: Himself Tori: Jacy Jayne Hornswoggle: Otis Rick Rude: Drew McIntyre Mike Tyson: Montez Ford Stephanie McMahon: Liv Morgan Billy Gunn: Pat Mcafee Road Dogg: Kevin Owens XPac: Himself Chyna: Rhea Ripley
Kane! Kane joined X-Pac and held the tag team titles. It was a odd couple if there ever was one. Kane sported a green costume and was semi feared by the rest of the group. Until they turned on him.
I thought John Cena was an honorary member of DX I have seen him do the X chop with Shawn and HHH after winning a match back in 2006 episode of Raw I think
I want you to know that the scope and downtown Norfolk looks exactly the same i’m from there DX is probably the most amazing thing is ever happened to that area
X-Pac had X-Pac heat with me from his debut. "Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be right here with us if they weren't being held hostage by World Championship Wrestling, AND THAT'S A FACT ERIC BISCHOFF!" No they wouldn't. They aren't desperately trying to fight their way out of their cushy big-money contracts to go hang with their most disposable friend. Jesus. Pathetic right out of the gate.
Which was a dumb angle considering why they were in WCW in the first place. Imagine invading a promotion but getting captured and "held hostage" with a ton of money 😂
Triple H would've never been put in the position he's in now if he didn't step on Test toes. He didn't want no possibility of Test and Stephanie growing a beyond Kayfabe relationship at all that's f'd up. He hit two birds with one stone (Chyna and Test) Stephanie is the stone.
I Thought That This Was A Bout Every Member Of DX.......However, With That Being Said, What A Bout Jim The Anvil Neidhart, The Straight Edge CM Punk, The Broken Matt Hardy, The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, The Enigma Jeff Hardy, The King Of Hearts Owen Hart, & The Devil's Favourite Demon Kane. They Were All A Part Of DX At 1ne Point Or A Nother Whether It Was Just For 1ne Night To A Week To A Month And So On, They Were All A Member Of DX From DX's Be Ginning To End. Test, Val Venus, & R-Truth (Known As K-Kwik At The Time) Were All Selected To Be Members Of DX How Ever, Triple H Said NO. Go Figure! Heh. They Would Have All Made Great Members Of DX, Even The Undertaker Was Going To Be A Member But He Said No Due To Him Being So Overly Popular And Needed To Be A Strong Rivalry For DX, So Yeah.

Also unofficially a young R-Truth at the 2000 Survivor Series.
Just like Rick Rude and Jason Sensation. Kane had a short affiliation, but never an official member so to say.
I LOVED Tori back in 2000/2001! I really wish she had not gotten injured at KOTR. She would have been awesome in the division from 2002-2003
She actually had gotten injured just prior to KOTR. The Bubba Ray table injury spot was a work
I refuses to ever acknowledge Hornswoggle as a real member
@@mikeawesome9212 no he didn’t. Why do you think he got pedigreed out of the group

He was The Dx Mascot for Christmas
@@hosniadnan2623 Rick Rude Aint Associates. Dude was one of the OGs
As a stable, the only members I acknowledge are HBK, HHH, Road Dogg, Mr. Ass, and X-Pac. As a Tag Team, just HBK and HHH.
Anytime I can hear Adam sing this I smile.
....and sing along with him :)
I always considered Kane an honorary member of DX ever since forming a team with X-Pac
@LastDropFalls It's not dumb. Kane was involved in angles with members of DX.
@@huffy6192 still after he made him do the suck it without the voice box. I consider him honorary just for that suck it segment alone

This is now outdated. Shawn, HHH, and Stephani now run WWE. In other words, DX has truly taken over the company in every sense.
cant forget the Road Dogg being a producer. thats something
Trips and Shawn haven't run the company to the ground, but they got _a lot_ of closet skeletons to deal with thanks to Vinnie Mac
cmon Tori was a better member than hornswoggle and rude and tyson

DX is better than NWO because DX didn’t just let “anyone” join.
