10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2000 Facts
9. It Marked The End Of DX For Six Years
More of a whimper than a bang. Shawn Michaels and Triple H came together in August 1997, putting forth one of the most revolutionary and inspired acts in wrestling history, D-Generation X. By the spring of 2000, the group functionally took a backseat to Triple H and the McMahons, with Road Dogg and X-Pac shunted down into the midcard depths.
The two faced off very low on the SummerSlam card, with barely an issue aside from general friction among long-time friends. X-Pac won the sub-five-minute match, and was assaulted by a disconsolate Road Dogg afterward. The two went their separate ways, as X-Pac feuded briefly with Chris Jericho, while Road Dogg treaded water before joining into a rap-based partnership with newcomer K-Kwik (later R-Truth).
Say what you will about the DX dissolution, but it sure beats the original nWo Black and White petering out in the spring of 1999, with Stevie Ray and Vincent fighting for control.
