10 Biggest Fakeouts In WWE History
7. The New Age Outlaws On The Corporation
Set to the carnage and chaos of the Attitude Era and a company about to hit their richest vein of creative and commercial form that decade, the D-Generation X/Corporation feud was another inspired move from a WWE that could do no wrong.
Inserting former DXer Shawn Michaels as a crooked commissioner, Vince McMahon had inadvertently raised the ire of Triple H and Chyna, but thought he'd gotten around the issue by poaching Tag Champions and loyal degenerate soldiers the New Age Outlaws in the process.
After a lengthy courtship period, Billy Gunn and The Road Dogg emerged at the start of a December 1998 edition of the flagship with suits on and little fingers up. The heat was unreal as the fans voiced their disdain for the "New Corporate Outlaws".
It was all to lull 'HBK' into a false sense of security - as as DX took on Ken Shamrock and The Big Boss Man later that night, Billy Gunn fed 'The World's Most Dangerous Man' a steel chair right in the mush as D-Generation X celebrated getting a huge one over their former leader and Vince McMahon's gang of goons.
