Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,035 --> 00:00:03,237
[D-Generation X's music]
2
00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:04,037
- D-Generation X.
3
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:06,607
- This is not your generation.
4
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,876
This is not the next generation.
5
00:00:08,942 --> 00:00:12,846
This is D-Generation and X marks
the spot.
6
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:17,584
- It's Sports Entertainment's
most controversial faction.
7
00:00:17,584 --> 00:00:21,388
- You make the rules and we will
break 'em.
8
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:24,358
- Rebellious and rowdy group
that did whatever they wanted,
9
00:00:24,424 --> 00:00:26,059
whenever they wanted.
10
00:00:26,159 --> 00:00:28,762
And through it all created
unforgettable memories.
11
00:00:29,463 --> 00:00:33,567
- D-Generation X invades WCW
tonight.
12
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:36,503
- Today we count down the very
best.
13
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:39,306
You ain't down with that, well-
14
00:00:39,406 --> 00:00:41,875
- We got two words for
you.
15
00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:44,611
[crowd yells "Suck it."]
16
00:00:44,678 --> 00:00:48,248
- This is WWE's Greatest
Moments.
17
00:00:48,315 --> 00:00:48,916
- Suck it.
18
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,317
[laughing]
19
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:53,587
- Acknowledge me.
20
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:54,621
- My God
21
00:00:54,621 --> 00:00:56,356
Stone Cold with a beer bath.
22
00:00:56,423 --> 00:00:59,326
- This is surreal.
23
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:00,661
- Look at this.
24
00:01:00,661 --> 00:01:02,262
- He slammed him.
25
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:11,471
- Welcome to WWE greatest
moments I'm Michael Cole,
26
00:01:11,471 --> 00:01:13,240
and on this edition, we
showcase the defining
27
00:01:13,307 --> 00:01:19,079
moments of the most entertaining
and crude faction of all time-
28
00:01:19,146 --> 00:01:20,714
D-Generation X.
29
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:26,019
Originally comprised of Shawn
Michaels, Triple H and Chyna,
30
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:29,656
DX debuted in 1997 and
immediately bucked the
31
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:32,626
system, pushing the envelope
with their sophomoric
32
00:01:32,693 --> 00:01:35,195
shenanigans and lewd humor,
33
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:37,598
and in doing so became
trailblazers
34
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:40,233
that revolutionized professional
wrestling forever.
35
00:01:40,901 --> 00:01:43,236
And our number ten spot on the
countdown the moment
36
00:01:43,303 --> 00:01:44,871
that DX was born.
37
00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:48,442
- Bret Hart, obviously
you're not
38
00:01:48,508 --> 00:01:49,710
in a very good mood
considering the antics
39
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,446
of Shawn Michaels and
Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
40
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:53,914
Would you care to comment?
41
00:01:53,914 --> 00:01:56,750
- We would love to comment.
42
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,952
Now before The Hitman
puts a sleeper hold
43
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:02,222
on this crowd and
puts them all to sleep.
44
00:02:02,289 --> 00:02:04,157
We said what we wanted to say.
45
00:02:04,224 --> 00:02:07,761
We were just going out there and
kind of being idiots.
46
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:09,363
Well, I got some footage for
you.
47
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:12,466
I don't want everybody to see
this because nobody knows
48
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:15,268
Canada like I knows Canada.
49
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:16,403
[laughing]
50
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,072
We were hell bent on making it
one way or the other,
51
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:22,109
and really didn't care if
we stepped on toes.
52
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:25,112
Really didn't care if we said
something inappropriate.
53
00:02:25,178 --> 00:02:26,680
I'm younger than you.
54
00:02:26,747 --> 00:02:27,948
- Everybody's younger than him.
55
00:02:27,948 --> 00:02:31,184
- And I'm certainly bigger than
you-
56
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:33,186
in more ways than one.
57
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:36,390
- Yeah, I can't say I liked it
the show was going to be all
58
00:02:36,456 --> 00:02:40,027
about them and they minimized
everyone else
59
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,428
to entertain themselves.
60
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:48,201
- I'll give Bret Hart credit
for basically naming DX
61
00:02:48,268 --> 00:02:50,270
because Bret in a promo talked
about, you know what you are,
62
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:51,672
"You're just degenerates."
63
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:56,243
- Why don't you two degenerates
come down here right now-
64
00:02:56,309 --> 00:02:59,446
- And that's where I remember
sitting there with Vince and was
65
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:02,149
like,"They are they're they're
degenerates.
66
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:04,184
They're D-Generation X."
67
00:03:04,251 --> 00:03:05,352
DX was born.
68
00:03:05,419 --> 00:03:06,987
- D-Generation X is that us?
69
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:09,823
D-Generation X, we are
D-Generation X.
70
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:13,994
You make the rules and we will
break 'em.
71
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,162
Yeah.
72
00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:21,168
- As DX spread their wave of
immaturity across the WWE,
73
00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:23,970
nobody fell victim to their
juvenile antics more
74
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:27,841
than WWE legend, an on screen
commissioner-
75
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:29,276
Sgt. Slaughter.
76
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,585
- The Heartbreak Kid is going to
come out here and walk naked.
77
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:39,820
- He's going to what?
78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,755
- They were funny things we
would do with Sarge because he
79
00:03:41,822 --> 00:03:43,757
was the commissioner, and there
were some things that I would
80
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:45,826
think to myself, "Maybe I
shouldn't go there.
81
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:47,327
It might be a little bit too
far."
82
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:50,464
- Bring that big, huge chin down
here.
83
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:52,566
Then Sarge would come over
laughing and say something ten
84
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:55,902
times worse to me and say, "You
should say that you."
85
00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:58,872
- Want Ken Shamrock in a match
here next week on Raw.
86
00:03:58,939 --> 00:04:00,707
- Hold on, hold on.
87
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,910
- You're out there doing promos
with him on a weekly basis,
88
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,312
and you know, there's a bit of
spittle.
89
00:04:06,313 --> 00:04:08,115
- Saliva flies out of my mouth.
90
00:04:08,181 --> 00:04:09,549
I can't help it.
91
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:10,951
My bite.
92
00:04:11,017 --> 00:04:13,086
I got a terrible bite.
93
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:15,956
- It's one of those situations
where you go,
94
00:04:16,022 --> 00:04:18,725
"Am I the only one that's
feeling that or?"
95
00:04:18,792 --> 00:04:23,096
- So we wanted to take that
as far as we possibly could.
96
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:26,266
- Let me get this
straight again.
97
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,269
You want Ken Shamrock here next
week?
98
00:04:29,336 --> 00:04:30,403
- Hold on.
99
00:04:30,470 --> 00:04:31,304
This is-
100
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:33,173
- What are these two degenerates
up to now?
101
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,941
- And that's what made him so
fantastic
102
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:36,676
that you can do
something like that.
103
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:38,512
He rolls with it and gets a kick
out of it.
104
00:04:38,578 --> 00:04:39,479
Thinks it's funny.
105
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:40,313
Okay, we're ready.
106
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:41,548
- Now you can go.
107
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:43,517
- It's a sophomore class field
trip.
108
00:04:44,351 --> 00:04:46,720
- A lot of people hated the
windshield wiper thing
109
00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:47,654
when we did it.
110
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,589
Like, I just thought it was
crossing a line-
111
00:04:49,656 --> 00:04:51,424
disrespectful and childish.
112
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:53,160
Sarge thought it was the
funniest thing he'd ever seen.
113
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:59,065
It took everything in my power
not to laugh in their face.
114
00:04:59,065 --> 00:05:02,369
It was the most hilarious thing
that I've ever seen in my life.
115
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:10,076
- Poor Sgt. Slaughter was
always the butt of DX's jokes.
116
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,945
One night, when the Sarge tried
to stand up to these
117
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:16,983
degenerates, he quickly learned
DX doesn't follow the rules.
118
00:05:19,719 --> 00:05:23,924
- You're either going to defend
that title here tonight on Raw,
119
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:27,360
or I'm going to strip you of
that title here tonight on Raw.
120
00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:32,432
Your opponent tonight will be-
121
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:36,203
Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
122
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,840
- The European Title is on the
line.
123
00:05:40,907 --> 00:05:43,076
- And D-Generation X may be
coming apart at the seams.
124
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:45,512
- Well, I was definitely
excited.
125
00:05:45,579 --> 00:05:47,714
Everybody was waiting for that
moment, you know what I mean?
126
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,584
And they did make it look like
they are going to fight.
127
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:53,486
- I can't wait to see when they
finally lock up,
128
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:55,922
when they finally start
tearing at each other.
129
00:05:55,989 --> 00:05:57,724
What kind of accident we're
going to see out of this match.
130
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:01,461
- Wait a minute.
131
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,096
- What the?
132
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,466
- I'm pretty sure they did a
couple of
133
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:07,467
jaunts across the ring.
134
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,269
- Was Michaels just lying there?
135
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:10,770
It's a mockery.
136
00:06:12,072 --> 00:06:15,308
- And then there was a big, big,
big move that took Shawn down.
137
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:17,410
- Oh.
138
00:06:20,347 --> 00:06:21,915
- It was a ruse.
139
00:06:22,349 --> 00:06:25,285
- Hunter and Shawn celebrated
like they won the world title,
140
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:26,419
but it was the European title.
141
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,222
- This is the greatest moment of
my life.
142
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:30,457
Yo, Sarge.
143
00:06:30,557 --> 00:06:32,259
I did it.
144
00:06:32,359 --> 00:06:34,160
I did it.
145
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:36,830
- This is just another example
of them getting over
146
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:39,266
on authority and outthinking the
authority.
147
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:40,200
- Slaughter-
148
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:41,668
Standing there with egg on his
face.
149
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:43,069
- It's nice to have the European
Championship,
150
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:45,438
but if you can share it with a
friend- better.
151
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:50,844
- Raging Against the Machine was
the name of the game
152
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:54,547
for D-Generation X always
wreaking havoc in WWE.
153
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,717
- Oh my God.
154
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,219
- Oh my God King.
155
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:03,723
- And our number seven moment DX
took their obnoxious pranks
156
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:07,961
to new heights atop WWE
headquarters.
157
00:07:11,298 --> 00:07:13,233
- Oh, hey, Vince.
158
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:15,168
- Weird, you're there.
159
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:17,103
We're here.
160
00:07:17,203 --> 00:07:17,837
Huh?
161
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:19,005
- Here-
162
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,908
Right on top of the World
Wrestling Entertainment's
163
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:23,209
world headquarters.
164
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:25,011
- You're supposed to be at the
airport damn it.
165
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:33,186
- We are D-Generation X, and if
you're not down with that-
166
00:07:33,253 --> 00:07:36,356
Then we've got two words for ya.
167
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:37,824
[crowd yells "Suck it."]
168
00:07:37,891 --> 00:07:38,825
- Oh my God.
169
00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:39,726
- But they did like-
170
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:42,162
How- physically,
171
00:07:42,228 --> 00:07:43,863
how did they spray paint a
huge DX-
172
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:45,031
The two of them?
173
00:07:45,098 --> 00:07:46,800
I remember being a kid just
thinking that just couldn't wrap
174
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:47,968
my head around it.
175
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:50,704
- Mr. McMahon is visibly shaken.
176
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:56,643
- We had giant sheets that would
like unfurl coming down
177
00:07:56,710 --> 00:08:00,113
from the top of the building.
178
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:03,750
And then you spray painted the X
on there and.
179
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,618
- That was a blast, you know
180
00:08:05,719 --> 00:08:06,786
we could do whatever we wanted.
181
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:08,088
We just had fun.
182
00:08:08,154 --> 00:08:11,391
We were working with Vince and
Shane and doing huge business.
183
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:13,360
- Look at the top of the
building.
184
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:14,794
The full moon is out.
185
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:17,464
- That was the genius of
D-Generation X.
186
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:20,100
It's all about doing things that
you want to do
187
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,434
that you're not supposed to do.
188
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:25,405
- DX has done irreparable damage
to the boss.
189
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:28,008
- I think DX- I think
they've broken me.
190
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:30,410
[laughing]
191
00:08:31,378 --> 00:08:34,314
- With the WWE universe all in
on the fun.
192
00:08:34,381 --> 00:08:37,117
DX would make quite a production
of their antics
193
00:08:37,217 --> 00:08:39,185
for our number six moment.
194
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:45,458
- Hunter, it's Vince's
production truck.
195
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:48,628
The whole show is controlled
from in here.
196
00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:51,998
- Getting to see them sort of
ruin this show and run roughshod
197
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:55,335
over Raw, which just TV we had
never seen before.
198
00:08:55,402 --> 00:08:56,603
- Which button did he tell you
not to push?
199
00:08:56,669 --> 00:08:57,437
- No, no.
200
00:08:57,504 --> 00:08:58,071
Please.
201
00:08:58,071 --> 00:08:58,705
- That one, that one.
202
00:08:58,805 --> 00:08:59,973
Push it.
203
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,207
- No.
204
00:09:02,842 --> 00:09:05,111
- It was driving Vince McMahon
crazy.
205
00:09:05,111 --> 00:09:06,646
- I'm gonna take care of DX.
206
00:09:06,713 --> 00:09:08,481
I can guarantee you that.
207
00:09:08,815 --> 00:09:11,551
No one is going to embarrass me
like that ever again.
208
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:15,722
No one ever is going to-
209
00:09:15,789 --> 00:09:19,025
- Anytime you get them around
production in a truck, backstage
210
00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:21,161
or something, you can be sure
you're-
211
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:22,629
you're going to get
some shenanigans.
212
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:24,864
And and specifically that night,
you got some.
213
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:28,835
- Damn what you people think
this is funny.
214
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,873
I'm not Alvin the chipmunk.
215
00:09:36,876 --> 00:09:38,278
[farting noise]
216
00:09:41,347 --> 00:09:42,682
- They stuff they used to pull
back then,
217
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:45,351
um, you know, with the
production and things like that
218
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,587
were just so entertaining, and
it was just so outside of the
219
00:09:47,654 --> 00:09:49,589
box and all of those things.
220
00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:53,226
- They were sort of like the
lovable bullies.
221
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:55,228
This was part of the charm of
DX.
222
00:09:56,863 --> 00:09:57,297
[knocking]
223
00:09:57,397 --> 00:09:58,598
- Open up.
224
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:01,034
Oh.
225
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,569
- Uh oh.
226
00:10:03,503 --> 00:10:03,903
- Hello.
227
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:09,409
- We return to the countdown
with our fifth selection
228
00:10:09,476 --> 00:10:12,612
of the greatest moments in
D-Generation X's history.
229
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,315
Now, over the years, DX's
founding members would invite
230
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:20,220
various superstars to join their
crotch chopping faction.
231
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,857
But in 1998, DX shocked the WWE
universe
232
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:25,625
when they unveiled their
newest member.
233
00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:34,534
- Ladies and gentlemen,
"Iron" Mike Tyson.
234
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:39,372
- The entire world of sports
came to a halt when the baddest
235
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:42,275
man on the planet
entered the war zone.
236
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:43,443
- Whoa, here we go.
237
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,678
- Austin and the Tyson thing and
it was huge.
238
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:48,314
He's one of the most famous men
on the planet.
239
00:10:48,381 --> 00:10:49,749
I don't know that there was a
place in the world that didn't
240
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,885
know who Mike Tyson was.
241
00:10:51,951 --> 00:10:53,386
- And Ty Cobb's open-
242
00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:57,524
- Mike doing great, having fun,
being a part of this promotion.
243
00:10:58,224 --> 00:11:02,629
[D-Generation X's music]
244
00:11:02,629 --> 00:11:04,797
- And what I'm doing right now.
245
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:08,568
I am calling your ass out right
now,
246
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:11,437
right here, boy.
247
00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:14,274
Obviously, involvement with
Tyson made this thing huge.
248
00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:15,842
- You want to do it?
249
00:11:15,909 --> 00:11:17,143
Let's do it right now.
250
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:18,311
- Here we go.
251
00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:19,546
- I'll tell you what-
252
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:20,914
when he and Shawn was squaring
up in the ring, I was like,
253
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:22,315
"He's going to kill
Shawn Michaels.
254
00:11:22,382 --> 00:11:23,483
Oh my God."
255
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:24,984
- Well, this is not sanctioned
256
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:28,087
- Uh oh.
257
00:11:28,154 --> 00:11:29,155
- Wait a minute.
258
00:11:29,222 --> 00:11:30,423
- What?
259
00:11:30,423 --> 00:11:34,327
- Don't tell me that Mike Tyson
has joined D-Generation X.
260
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:40,066
- We had made Mike Tyson a
member of DX.
261
00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:42,435
"Oh my God, how could you do
that?"
262
00:11:42,435 --> 00:11:43,069
- We're hoodwinked.
263
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:45,638
- This crowd is still stunned.
264
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:46,873
- Oh, no.
265
00:11:46,873 --> 00:11:49,475
The baddest man on the planet is
part of DX.
266
00:11:49,475 --> 00:11:52,312
You know the most degenerates on
the planet.
267
00:11:52,312 --> 00:11:53,646
- We're on top of the world.
268
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:54,914
- It's just electricity.
269
00:11:54,914 --> 00:11:56,950
It was-was awesome.
270
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:58,985
I still get this-
271
00:11:58,985 --> 00:12:00,353
"Take a picture
like this, Mike."
272
00:12:01,821 --> 00:12:02,989
I loved it.
273
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:04,324
- It turned out to be the
biggest hoax
274
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:05,925
that I've ever seen
in wrestling.
275
00:12:05,992 --> 00:12:08,928
- Mike Tyson has joined
D-Generation X.
276
00:12:11,197 --> 00:12:13,866
- Chaos followed DX wherever
they went.
277
00:12:13,866 --> 00:12:16,135
So it was no surprise that just
weeks later,
278
00:12:16,202 --> 00:12:19,272
Tyson would turn on DX at
WrestleMania 14.
279
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:20,840
- Tyson.
280
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:21,608
Tyson.
281
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:22,709
Tyson.
282
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,111
- With that loss, Triple H
accused Shawn Michaels
283
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:28,314
of dropping the ball and
ejecting him from the faction.
284
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:30,250
- HBK-
285
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:33,419
You dropped the ball.
286
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,155
And now the ball is in my court.
287
00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:40,193
- And our number four moment,
the self-declared new leader of
288
00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:43,429
DX, was ready to bolster his
army.
289
00:12:46,733 --> 00:12:49,435
- Triple H of DX is
going to make
290
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:50,837
a major announcement
here tonight.
291
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:54,507
- At that point, I'm still seen
as secondary to Shawn.
292
00:12:55,074 --> 00:12:57,110
There were conversations that I
knew that were happening
293
00:12:57,110 --> 00:13:00,113
of like "Can he do that on his
own?"
294
00:13:00,647 --> 00:13:02,215
Tonight, live
295
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:03,516
in front of the world.
296
00:13:03,583 --> 00:13:06,619
I form the DX Army.
297
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:09,789
An army to take care of
business
298
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:14,861
that should have been taken care
of right from the start.
299
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:16,863
- What's he saying JR.
300
00:13:17,497 --> 00:13:21,000
- And when you start an army,
you look
301
00:13:21,067 --> 00:13:22,735
to the Kliq.
302
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,439
- What?
303
00:13:26,506 --> 00:13:28,274
[crowd cheers]
304
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:30,476
- A new day is dawning for DX.
305
00:13:32,945 --> 00:13:36,949
- You cannot replace the Shawn
Michaels and I didn't.
306
00:13:37,016 --> 00:13:38,184
I was just me.
307
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:41,154
And I was having a great time
and people got with it.
308
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:43,523
This is a new beginning
309
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:45,591
for D-Generation X.
310
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:47,627
- There are numerous people now
pitching ideas
311
00:13:47,694 --> 00:13:49,829
to want to be a part of DX.
312
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:52,465
From our standpoint, Billy and
Road Dogg were two guys
313
00:13:52,465 --> 00:13:53,666
that would kind of fit.
314
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:55,601
- I mean, it just all worked.
315
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,037
And it wouldn't have worked
with anybody else.
316
00:13:58,104 --> 00:14:00,840
- Ladies and gentlemen, boys and
girls, children of all ages.
317
00:14:00,907 --> 00:14:03,309
None of us had the star power
that Shawn Michaels had,
318
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:05,712
but all three of us kind
of made up for that.
319
00:14:05,778 --> 00:14:07,113
And it was a different dynamic.
320
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:12,385
- The number three moment of the
countdown,
321
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:15,021
the moment that wrestling
fans had long dreamt about
322
00:14:15,121 --> 00:14:21,360
Monday Night War rivals DX and
WCW's nWo in the same ring
323
00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:24,397
for an epic showdown on
the biggest stage.
324
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:29,669
What an absolutely
historic moment.
325
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:33,106
- That match was unreal.
326
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:36,175
- And for the first time ever at
WrestleMania, the match we
327
00:14:36,242 --> 00:14:41,547
never, ever thought we'd see
Triple H and Sting one on one.
328
00:14:43,616 --> 00:14:46,085
- It involved legends from a
bygone era,
329
00:14:46,152 --> 00:14:47,553
factions from a bygone era.
330
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:51,224
- Oh my god, it's DX.
331
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:52,525
- What?
332
00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:54,460
- DX came out and I could feel
that rush in the whole deal, and
333
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,499
it started to become more of the
WCW versus WWE.
334
00:15:00,433 --> 00:15:02,001
- Sting what are you doing?
335
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:04,437
Sting jumping on top of all of
DX?
336
00:15:05,037 --> 00:15:06,806
- That's something we thought
we'd never see.
337
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:09,709
- When the nWo music hit.
338
00:15:09,809 --> 00:15:12,078
[nWo's music]
339
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:13,279
- Oh my God.
340
00:15:14,514 --> 00:15:16,482
- As long as I kept the game
face on, I'd have to just be a
341
00:15:16,549 --> 00:15:17,950
fan and just sit there.
342
00:15:18,017 --> 00:15:19,952
- The New World Order.
343
00:15:20,019 --> 00:15:22,321
- A lot of that was like dream
scenario,
344
00:15:22,388 --> 00:15:23,956
like nWo versus DX.
345
00:15:24,023 --> 00:15:26,793
- The Monday Night Wars have
come to WrestleMania.
346
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:31,430
- Truly talked to the rivalry of
WCW and WWE.
347
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:34,967
- Shawn Michaels, Sweet Chin
Music.
348
00:15:35,001 --> 00:15:37,470
- I think it helped the match
and I think it was a huge
349
00:15:37,470 --> 00:15:40,873
moment, and I'm so proud of
being a part of it.
350
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:44,143
- Shoulders down and The Game
prevails.
351
00:15:44,644 --> 00:15:48,314
- There's a 15 year old kid
inside of everybody.
352
00:15:48,381 --> 00:15:49,615
That's what all of that was.
353
00:15:49,682 --> 00:15:51,751
It is real, raw emotion.
354
00:15:51,818 --> 00:15:55,154
- Look at these personalities,
look at these superstars
355
00:15:55,221 --> 00:15:56,989
in this ring at the same time.
356
00:15:57,623 --> 00:16:01,194
- Was that acknowledgment on our
end of forget the characters?
357
00:16:01,260 --> 00:16:02,595
This is awesome for us.
358
00:16:02,662 --> 00:16:05,064
- What an absolutely incredible
moment.
359
00:16:09,202 --> 00:16:10,803
- D-Generation X was often
called the most controversial
360
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:15,608
group in WWE history, but their
juvenile antics also created
361
00:16:15,675 --> 00:16:18,611
some of the most hilarious
moments in WWE.
362
00:16:20,947 --> 00:16:24,784
As DX evolved over time, one
thing remained the same.
363
00:16:24,784 --> 00:16:27,353
DX never took no for an answer.
364
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:29,021
- Viewer discretion is advised-
365
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:32,191
- But will be completely
ignored.
366
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,794
- And that was made clear from
the very beginning,
367
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:37,396
when network television
executives tried to censor
368
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:41,267
the unpredictable and at times,
raunchy behavior
369
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,636
of D-Generation X.
370
00:16:45,471 --> 00:16:47,874
- Good evening, my fellow
Americans.
371
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:50,610
This past week, D-Generation X
was informed
372
00:16:50,676 --> 00:16:52,879
that TSN, Star TV,
373
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:56,215
Sky Sports and
USA network is
374
00:16:56,282 --> 00:16:57,617
drawing the
line on standards
375
00:16:57,717 --> 00:17:01,387
and practices as it relates
to WWE programing
376
00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:02,355
and D-Generation X.
377
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:06,425
It was our understanding that
the USA network not being happy
378
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:10,329
with some of the things that we
had done on television.
379
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:15,635
We will only use ass, damn, and
hell.
380
00:17:15,635 --> 00:17:17,370
- And we thought like,"Okay,
this is fantastic,
381
00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:19,105
let's push this
envelope."
382
00:17:19,205 --> 00:17:22,675
- We promise there will be less
[bleep] references.
383
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:23,776
- Ah [bleep].
384
00:17:23,843 --> 00:17:27,146
- It was just the right thing
for that time period.
385
00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:28,014
It was perfect.
386
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,348
Watch your [bleep] mouth.
387
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:30,683
- Well [bleep] me.
388
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:31,817
- [Bleep].
389
00:17:31,918 --> 00:17:35,554
- I was glued to the TV
watching, thinking this is a
390
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:37,924
moment that's going to stand the
test of time because they're
391
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:40,960
doing something that they're not
supposed to do.
392
00:17:41,027 --> 00:17:45,698
- We will have less references
to our enormous genitalia.
393
00:17:45,798 --> 00:17:48,000
I remember getting a call, hey,
just heard from USA,
394
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:49,835
and I was like,"Okay."
395
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,604
And then, like, "They loved it."
396
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:55,274
- I did not sleep with that
young intern.
397
00:17:55,341 --> 00:17:59,345
As a matter of fact, I was
up all night.
398
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:00,479
[laughing]
399
00:18:01,847 --> 00:18:06,986
- So here we are, the number one
DX moment in our countdown.
400
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:11,357
At the height of the Monday
Night War between WWE and WCW,
401
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,859
D-Generation X would break
ground
402
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,462
by marching into
enemy territory.
403
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:18,164
- It's got to be here.
404
00:18:19,865 --> 00:18:23,469
- Making WWE true must see
television.
405
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:28,207
- D-Generation X
proudly
406
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:31,811
starts the war
against WCW.
407
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:33,012
Go.
408
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,482
WCW is trying to hurt business.
409
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:38,184
We booked TV at a venue,
410
00:18:38,184 --> 00:18:39,385
then they booked the Scope.
411
00:18:39,385 --> 00:18:39,885
Right?
412
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:40,686
Just down the road.
413
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:41,787
And things are thrown out,
like-
414
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,422
"We should go down there and
do something
415
00:18:43,522 --> 00:18:45,191
live in their parking lot."
416
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:49,428
D-Generation X and the World
Wrestling -- are in town.
417
00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:51,464
- When we got there,
418
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,599
it was craziness.
419
00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:56,068
The people just went nuts.
420
00:18:56,168 --> 00:18:57,670
- Bischoff sucks.
421
00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:59,305
Bischoff sucks.
422
00:18:59,405 --> 00:19:01,807
Bischoff sucks.
423
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:06,712
D-Generation X, the only group
in the world with the cojones
424
00:19:06,712 --> 00:19:10,316
big enough to come to the front
line.
425
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:13,319
And who rules the world of
professional wrestling?
426
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:14,787
- DX.
427
00:19:14,787 --> 00:19:16,188
- Yeah
428
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:19,425
- Of course it was really gutsy
and it was really cool.
429
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,227
We had a blast that day doing
that.
430
00:19:21,761 --> 00:19:26,399
- We stand now at your door,
knocking on that door
431
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:27,666
to let us in.
432
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:29,602
It's hard for people today to
understand
433
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:34,073
how insane doing that was.
434
00:19:34,073 --> 00:19:38,077
It was so like, "Holy [bleep]."
435
00:19:38,144 --> 00:19:40,312
Knock knock knock WCW.
436
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:42,748
If you open the door,
437
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:45,284
we'd like to ask you a couple
of questions.
438
00:19:45,351 --> 00:19:46,952
- Woo hoo.
439
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:48,387
Woo hoo.
440
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:50,222
If they would have opened that
door, I probably would have run
441
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:51,557
as fast as I could.
442
00:19:52,224 --> 00:19:54,827
- Somebody said, "What if they
try to do the same thing
443
00:19:54,894 --> 00:19:55,861
back to us?"
444
00:19:56,896 --> 00:19:57,396
"Open up the garage
doors.
445
00:19:57,463 --> 00:19:58,264
Let him in.
446
00:19:58,264 --> 00:19:59,165
What show are you going to
watch?
447
00:19:59,231 --> 00:19:59,865
The one with all the wrestlers
or the one
448
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:01,434
with none of the wrestlers?"
449
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,002
And I remember thinking at that
moment, like,
450
00:20:03,069 --> 00:20:04,870
"This is why we're going to
win."
451
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:06,038
That's genius.
452
00:20:06,105 --> 00:20:08,474
No way they would have ever
thought about doing that.
453
00:20:08,474 --> 00:20:11,310
Who rules professional
wrestling?
454
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:12,044
- DX.
455
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:13,612
[cheering]
456
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:17,149
[chanting "DX"]
457
00:20:18,384 --> 00:20:20,786
- DX is daring breach into WCW
458
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:24,223
Battlegrounds remain a landmark
moment that captivated wrestling
459
00:20:24,323 --> 00:20:28,627
fans around the world, fueled
the WWE resurgence
460
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:31,430
to Sports Entertainment
supremacy.
461
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:32,231
That'll do it for this edition
462
00:20:32,298 --> 00:20:35,000
of WWE's Greatest Moments on
A&E.
463
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,068
We hope you enjoyed this
look back
464
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:39,905
at one of the iconic
factions in WWE history-
465
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:40,973
DX.
