WWE: 12 Most Powerful Stables In Wrestling History

3. D-Generation X

Significant Members: Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Chyna, Rick Rude. DX was a big part of WWE's heralded Attitude Era. Taking many of the ideas initially put forth by Paul Heyman in ECW and running wild with them, Shawn Michaels and Triple H began teaming together in 1997. Rebelling against authority and crude, lascivious humor were trademarks of the faction. The original group were embroiled in a heated feud with the Hart Foundation, as well as Commissioner Slaughter, who they tormented in a multitude of entertaining ways. After Michaels left the company due to his back injury, Triple H reformed the group with a returning Sean Waltman, fresh off a stint in WCW with the nWo, and the New Age Outlaws. The group's tremendous popularity eventually turned them face and they took on The Rock and the Nation of Domination, as well as Vince McMahon's Corporation. Michaels and Helmsley would reunite once again in 2006 for one last run. Much of the magic had worn off, likely due to the fact that the sophomoric risqué humor the group had once enjoyed was now very much toned down and out of place with WWE's more family friendly direction as well as Michaels' religious beliefs. A somewhat disappointing final run doesn't change the fact that DX is one of the greatest stables we've ever seen. Memorable Moments: Invading WCW, Mike Tyson, Waltman's return, The Nation parody. Why They Were Powerful: One of the most influential stables ever, they led the direction for the entire company through most of the late 90s, had memorable matches and angles and made Triple H a megastar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-cc1YYeZDo
