D-Generation X exemplified the VulgarHumor craziness of the late 1990s [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]]. Founded by [[Wrestling/TheKliq Kliq]] members Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and Wrestling/TripleH, the faction grew in various incarnations to include Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, [[Wrestling/SeanWaltman X-Pac]], Wrestling/{{Chyna}}, Wrestling/RoadDogg, Wrestling/BillyGunn, Wrestling/RickRude, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[Wrestling/TerriPoch Tori]]. [[SelfDemonstratingArticle As you can see]], not every member of DX was successful, but its legacy and the lengthy [[TrueCompanions bond]] between all (well, most) of them changed the careers of everyone involved and in many ways wrestling forever.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: Their antics during their feud with the [=McMahons=] and Wrestling/TheSpiritSquad involved them taking the control of the show's production truck. This little joke affected a match between Wrestling/{{Edge}} and Wrestling/RandyOrton, and led to the formation of Rated-RKO.

{{Wrestling/Montreal|Screwjob}}, Wrestling/SeanWaltman (the TropeNamer of the negative-connotation ridden XPacHeat) makes the crowd forget about the questionable booking decisions that led him to such negative reception, and even Wrestling/BillyGunn and Wrestling/RoadDogg as the New Age Outlaws and Wrestling/{{Chyna}}, despite the questionable booking and angles they were involved in, get cheered just by showing with the stable.

** Early days DX had Shawn as the leader, HHH as the centerpiece, Wrestling/RickRude as the Enforcer and Wrestling/{{Chyna}} as the Muscle.

* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Shawn and Hunter, post-2000. They teased a DX reunion during Shawn's original 2002 comeback, but that led to a heel turn for Hunter and a three-year rivalry. They finally pulled the trigger in mid-2006 (as a title-chasing Triple H kept butting heads with Vince and Shane McMahon, whom Shawn was feuding with at the time), and ran with it until Shawn's retirement in 2010.

*** Roadie's greatest plan ever involved a one fall match that had three teams facing each other for the Tag Titles. LOD 2000 and Disciples of Apocalypse did most of the fighting while the Outlaws stood on the corner until finally LOD and DOA had enough and tagged BOTH Outlaws into the match, forcing the tag team champs to fight. Road Dogg would end up laying down for Billy Gunn and got the easy pin and title retention to the absolute horror of the other two teams. The next time the Outlaws had a title defense, the commentary team mentioned that the Outlaws' loophole had been closed and that two partners could not be tagged in at the same time.
** TheBigGuy: Bad Ass Billy Gunn
** TheChick: Chyna
*** She could - and often did - double as a second Big Guy, but she was also the one responsible for mitigating the egos of the wrestlers involved.

the faction's original leader Wrestling/FinnBalor.Raw Reunion show, however, Shawn and Hunter saved Seth Rollins from being assaulted by Gallows and Anderson during his match with AJ Styles. When Anderson, Gallows, and Styles' offer of a Too Sweet was rejected, Road Dogg and X-Pac soon came out for additional support, with both Scott Hall and Wrestling/KevinNash as special guests this time to run off The OC.
