10 Times TNA Went Way Too Far

3. The Voodoo Kin Mafia

In a similar vein, after Shawn Michaels and Triple H reformed a comedy version of D-Generation X in WWE, ex-New Age Outlaws The James Gang (B.G. James, previously the Road Dogg and Kip James, aka Billy Gunn) changed their names to the Voodoo Kin Mafia (the same initials as Vincent Kennedy McMahon) and began working an ersatz D-Generation X gimmick, running skits mocking D-X and the WWE in general. The skits were almost entirely terrible, cringeworthy and desperately crying out for attention from any of the far more popular and famous wrestlers they were taking the mickey out of. At one point, VKM challenged D-X to a match for a million bucks€ unsurprisingly, the WWE team didn€™t acknowledge the challenge, let alone turn up. Embarrassingly however, the James boys didn€™t show up either. It€™s almost as if this was a crappy angle that existed purely to keep the pair of them on television. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiI1qmFlSSQ Even more embarrassingly, Dixie Carter took the whole thing completely seriously and set the million dollars aside in case WWE took them up on the offer. Good grief, Dixie. Even Jim Herd wouldn€™t have been that much of a numpty.
