Mick Foley just lately recalled a dialog he had with former WWE author Vince Russo about D-Generation X in 1998.
Shawn Michaels took a hiatus after shedding the WWE Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin in the WrestleMania 14 major occasion. The following evening, The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn and Road Dogg) joined Chyna, Triple H, and X-Pac in a new-look D-Generation X with out Michaels.
On the newest episode of his podcast, Foley stated The Heartbreak Kid made it clear that he was sad with the group’s extra members:
“Vince Russo was really bummed out at the post-Mania party. ‘Hey, Vince, what’s wrong?’ and he was really down. He’d received a browbeating from Shawn Michaels about how they’d really weakened DX. I guess Shawn knew that Road Dogg and Billy were joining. Man, within 24 hours, they had every bit of heat back and then some, tenfold.” [16:41 – 17:09]
Mick Foley (aka Cactus Jack) and Terry Funk (aka Chainsaw Charlie) defeated The New Age Outlaws in a Dumpster Match at WrestleMania 14. As Foley alluded to, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg immediately regained momentum due to their alliance with D-Generation X.
D-Generation X turned WWE Hall of Famers in 2019
The legendary group shaped on October 13, 1997. It initially consisted of Chyna, Shawn Michaels, Rick Rude, and Triple H. However, Rude left a month later when he joined WWE’s rivals WCW.
Billy Gunn, Chyna (posthumous), Michaels, Road Dogg, Triple H, and X-Pac have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 as D-Generation X members.
Michaels, Road Dogg, Triple H, and X-Pac reunited on the Thirtieth-anniversary episode of RAW in January. Fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle jokingly tagged alongside to take the place of Gunn, who didn’t attend resulting from his AEW contract.
