One more AEW entry sounds fun.

The Young Bucks grabbed some WWE spotlight by impersonating D-Generation X (last DX mention in this article - promise!) on an episode of ECW back in 2008. They were brought out by 'Dirt Sheet' hosts The Miz and John Morrison to rip the p*ss right out of both legends.

Matt and Nick Jackson put their all into the idea. They came armed with a big nose, glow sticks and enough Degenerate mannerisms to make the real deal shed a tear. Then, they took a world class ass-kicking from Miz and Morrison to hammer home the heel duo's superiority over their rivals.

Again, this didn't really lead to anything for The Bucks in WWE. Approx seven-eight years later though, Trips was offering them a guaranteed $500,000 apiece to sign on the dotted line. The bros turned that down in favour of eventually starting their own promotion and revolutionising the biz.
