10 Most Influential 3 Team Wrestling Stables
4. D-Generation-X
A three-person anomaly in this list, DX were at their most cutting edge when the combination of Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna were left to run rampant on Monday Night Raw's wild west days of late-1997/early-1998.
Alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin's purge of authority figures and anybody in his path, D-Generation-X were pillars of the burgeoning Attitude Era, fuelled by intense promos lead from an emotionally unravelling Shawn Michaels and his trusty sidekicks.
Coming into his own on the microphone during the spell, Triple H exhibited confidence and cockiness he'd been unable to muster from the shackles of his 'Greenwich Snob' persona, and as the silence behind the violence, Chyna was the group's backbone, rarely backing down from the fights her charges would invariably start.
Their near-the-knuckle antics would become a weekly highlight of Raw, and aided a conceptual shift for the show at large.
Audacious segments that would have previously felt like a hostage situation became trademark comedy for the group, with the DX Undertaker Barbecue, Strip Poker and other bouts of silliness still etched in viewer minds.
The marked shift in tone for DX post-Michaels was a roaring success, but the genesis came from the incomparable early incarnation.
