3. DX To The HOF

It was only a matter of time until WWE inducted its signature Attitude Era group into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Monday night, Triple H announced that he and the rest of D-Generation X – Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn and Chyna – would all be enshrined before WrestleMania 35. That would make HBK a double inductee, but it also would serve as a workaround to get the Ninth Wonder of the World into the HOF without having to induct her solo.

For a while now, fans and others have wondered if WWE would ever induct the late Chyna, but her post-wrestling life cast a shadow on her accomplishments. By bringing her in as part of a group, it removes the solo spotlight and allows WWE to accommodate its fans without risking corporate or sponsor backlash.

Not a perfect solution, but not a bad one. And besides, DX really does deserve the nod. After all, they invaded Nitro with a tank! /snark/
