The Beginning of D-Generation X

Wrestling Bios Presents - The Beginning of D-Generation X

When it comes to factions in the WWE, it's hard to think of anyone who was more groundbreaking than DX. Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, friends long before DX made their WWE debut, broke down barriers in the World Wrestling Federation. D-Generation X became popular as HBK and Triple H portrayed cool villains in wrestling, there was nothing at all that was off limits when it came to DX promos and matches.

The story of DX and how it came to be goes all the way back to 1993, the same year that Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash made their way to the WWF. Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon were already in the company, and the 5 men became close friends. In 1995, Triple H made his WWF debut, and the 5 men would become known as The Kliq, a group of backstage buddies who had some stroke with the office. When Nash, Hall and Waltman all left to join WCW, only Hunter and Shawn were left. Once there was an oppurtunity for Shawn Michaels to turn heel in 1997, DX was born. Triple H and Shawn Michaels were able to form a new faction that also consisted of Ravishing Rick Rude and Chyna. The four members of DX would go on to become very entertaining, garnering a huge fan following thanks to the joy DX found in breaking the rules.
