10 Times WWE Tried To Recapture The Magic (And Failed)
10. Mike Tyson Punches Chris Jericho (Monday Night Raw)
This moment reflects the stark change from Attitude to PG. Firstly, DX in 2010 were a drop in the ocean compared to the revolutionaries who ushered in the second wrestling boom in the '90s. Shawn and Hunter had made right some of the wrongs from the 2006 reunion debacle of two middle-aged men dropping excrement on other middle-aged men, but this was not 1997. This DX included Hornswoggle.
On the other side of the coin you have Mike Tyson, who wasn't the greatest performer when he turned on Michaels in 1998. Over a decade later, Tyson telegraphed the turn, firstly from his body language but mainly by taking half an hour to remove his shirt.
Credit has to go to Jericho here. The reaction to the pop for Tyson's reveal was perfect, and the expression as he looked around to see the DX tee was priceless. Still, the original incident closed WrestleMania XIV, while this was a throwaway Raw tag match featuring one of the revolving door of guest hosts they were employing at the time.
