9. "Have A Bad Day"
https://youtu.be/w9avBN_RqSk Just because Shawn Michaels stopped wrestling in WWE didn't mean that DX lost its passion for parodying. Certainly lesser-known than its other popular mockeries, in 2000, in the midst of Triple H's second monumental feud with Cactus Jack/Mankind (Mick Foley was mostly Mankind by this point, but he brought the brutal, violent Jack back just for The Game), the group decided to poke fun at The Hardcore Legend with a short film. Entitled "Have a Bad Day," Mideon of all people played Mankind, and with his long scraggly hair and decent mask and outfit, he did an alright job. Throughout an episode of Raw, three cringe-worthy clips were shown of Mideon interacting with Triple H, who was Mankind's hiring agent, a doctor at a children's hospital, and then a book store owner (remember, Mankind had just published his world-famous, New York Times bestseller autobiography called Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks in 1999). As Mideon talks in an especially whiny tone and mentions all of Mankind's perceived insecurities and shortcomings, Triple H's condescending and borderline racist characters would insult Mideon further and then eventually beat the crap out of him. It certainly served to infuriate Foley, who did not take it easy on The Cerebral Assassin at all during their multiple battles in the months ahead.
