10 Most Dominant Wrestling Stables Of All Time

5. D-Generation X

D-Generation X had power before they even existed. Then, they existed because they had power.

Shawn Michaels and Triple H were able to bring their friendship to television because they had the ear of Vince McMahon, not because the 'Heartbreak Kid' and the former Greenwich snob had any on-screen connections. An odd couple tag match with The Undertaker and Mankind was all it took to make their unity organic, and few raised any eyebrows by the time they the formal DX branding was added a couple of months later.

Though their wider industry impact has been overstated by gushing video packages ever since, there's truth to how crucial Shawn and Hunter's brand of indecency was to reshaping Raw in late-1997. Similarly, credit (though not as much as is typically afforded) is due to Triple H, Chyna, X-Pac and The New Age Outlaws for flooding the midcard with a potent mix of charisma, talent and vibrancy.

Latter day vanity runs should dilute that legacy like they did so many one-sided feuds. The DX concept at its hottest was unstoppable.
