** Around early summer of 1997 Wrestling/VinceRusso submitted an idea to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon that would be a prototype of DX and predict a future version of it. His idea was a group called "The Elite" that would have consisted of Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/BillyGunn (then known as Rockabilly), and Wrestling/RoadDogg (then known only as Jesse James). He also suggested as additional members of the group- Erik Watts (who was still under contract with the WWF but had nothing to do after Techno Team 2000) and Brian Christopher (the son of Wrestling/JerryLawler and future member of Too Cool with Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi), with Sunny as a valet/manager.
