A little self-awareness can go a long way.

D-Generation X did its usual fourth wall-breaking promo Monday night, referencing Kane’s current role as mayor of Knoxville County, but the duo also noted that the word “nostalgia” had come up a lot in reference to their reformation. And Shawn Michaels observed that nostalgia really is “just a polite way of saying ‘old.’ ” Of course, Triple H then posited that it might mean that old is a polite way of saying they’re better, but that’s The Game for you.

It’s not a major upside, but again, at least these four are existing in their own isolated universe rather than four 50-year-olds beating up the main roster.
