10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WCW

10. The Most Overhyped Segment In WWE/WCW History

A perennial fixture on any piece of WWE-produced content referencing the Monday Night Wars is this segment from Raw's 27 April 1998 episode, in which D-Generation X "invaded" WCW Nitro in their "tank."

Hyped as a big, ballsy move that threatened to send the competition into complete disarray, it is the most overhyped segment in WWE (and maybe American wrestling) history. Triple H's clown troupe accomplished nothing. While convincing fans outside of Nitro to chant "DX!" may have sparked a tinge of WCW embarrassment, this was literally the extent of their rebellion. Arena staff literally pulled down the shutters, stopped DX from getting in, and that was that. Invasion over.

The segment is as pathetic as the company narrative on it. Four grown men turned up in a sh*tty little Jeep (not a tank), made some noise, and got turned away. No more rebellious than a gang of drunk students getting refused entry from a nightclub on fancy dress night, it is nonetheless celebrated as a rogue act of wrestling rebellion.

Triple H has since claimed that WCW were so spooked, they called the local police, claiming they were under attack from a militia group. Vince Russo described the segment as an "all-out assault."

Really, the "all-out assault" would have gone down had DX gotten inside the building and ran into Meng.
