DeGeneration X

[bad_meetz_evil]

I posted this in other forums... oh well



Story:

The defection of group leader HHH to the Corporation at Wrestlemania XV essentially split the group for good. Kane may or may not be considered a member at this point.....The group was founded by Shawn Michaels, who was "fired" from the group by HHH on the 03/30/98 version of RAW. Rick Rude was a member at one point, but left for WCW late in 1997.....Mike Tyson joined prior to Wrestlemania XIV, but it was merely a ruse on his part....Chyna served as bodyguard since it's inception until recently, when she joined Vince McMahon's Corporation....The New Age Outaws (Road Dog & Bad Ass Billy Gunn) joined after Wrestlemania XIV to reform the group, and Gunn left recently to persue a singles career....The basic idea of the angle introducing the group was that DX is the remains of the real life "clique" acting like degenerates and trying to get fired so they can join the nWo in Atlanta, although the letters "nWo" are never mentioned on TV....The angle currently is that they are simply a group of rebels against everything and everyone, including WCW. This has subsequently turned them into babyfaces in the Steve Austin mold.
