9. They Were Funnier
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0B5csEiqRU Humor played a big role in the success of the Attitude Era. Some of Steve Austins biggest bits involved a level of comedy, such as Bang 3:16. A majority of The Rocks charisma comes from his comedic timing. And Mick Foley got way more over pulling a sock out of his pants than he ever did doing the Cactus Jack elbow. So in the humor category, DX easily trumps the nWo, who were a deadly serious group. Sometimes Scott Hall or Kevin Nash would crack wise, but it was usually with insider lingo that only a few people would get. DXs comedy bits were a staple of the group. There might not have been any funnier segment on Raw than the Nation of Domination parody. Even the follow-up Corporation parody, while a poor mans version of the original, had some good laughs in it. And the sheer audacity of invading WCW was hilarious in principle.
