Thinking about DX reuniting in 2006 and curious about everyone's thoughts
It had some bright moments but overall was pretty lackluster
The original DX looked like they wanted to wrestle and stir trouble, this version was just cheesy and wasn't really intimidating at all
Overall I would say it was a pretty bad disappointment

Very midlife crisis. They couldn't decide whether to be serious badasses or carefree pranksters. Much different from the group of young bloods looking to shake up the system, especially with Trips being the system for years previous.
A couple segments made me laugh back in my teen years (the McMahon cosplay, pitching the old man's voice during a promo, the prized rooster jokes).

Rating wise and merch sales it was a huge success and it was nice hearing the DX theme again.
HOWEVER, it wasn't the real DX. The other members were erased and it was like they never existed, I hated the new spray logo and they were basically two men going through a mid life crisis.
There were some funny moments but apart from that it was a dumpster fire.
When I think of DX my first thoughts are the 1998 DX army. I group of edgy hell raising degenerates who pranked their opponents and always spoiling for a fight.

It would have been much better with the other members. It was cool to have HHH/HBK as a team again after seeing em feud forever but I'd say the reunion itself was just there tbh...could have been way better.

As a young buck at the time, it was the best thing ever. I'd witnessed the Attitude Era but I was young enough for this to be the second coming. Kids crotch choping in class, wearing the shirts, dropping kids on their heads in the school yard etc.

It was big money but not as good on the entertainment side of things tbh

I was 25 years old at the time when it happened and I was a fan of it!
Because of that DX reunion, I got to see HBK vs. John Cena for the WWE Title in the main event at Wrestlemania 23 LIVE!! Sure, I was way up in the cheap seats for it, but I was still there, so that's pretty awesome.

I got a kick out of how different it was from the original, they were no longer the young, hip and cool guys and they played their parts really well. When they were shilling stuff at Christmas time, especially the Elimination Chamber playset was hilarious, especially HBK's freakout over having to build it. I need to watch that again!
I am glad they did not try to act like they did in 97/98 as it would not have worked with the ages they were, but at the same time I can see why it was not for everyone.

Yes it was cheesy but that’s what they were going for.

It was goofy, and it was what it needed to be. I enjoyed it.

there’s gotta be some law where no matter how much something lacks in quality there will be some people who like it

When DX started, I was 18 years old. When DX had the reunion, I was 27 years old with a 5 year old. I think they were great during their respective runs. The reunion brought back nostalgia for me, without being inappropriate for my Step-Daughter, at the time. I definitely related to Shawn Michaels both in 97 and in 06.

I found it poor to be honest because of all that had happened previously between the two...But I will say this. That feud with rated RKO was really starting to cook and get serious when HHH blew his quad the 2nd time at NYR 07.

That feud with rated RKO was really starting to cook and get serious when HHH blew his quad the 2nd time at NYR 07. It was getting real good. We was probably getting DX as the Tag Champs but HHHs injury led to HBK/Cena as the Tag Champs instead. At least we got HBK vs Cena in the main event of WM23 for the WWE Title. Great stuff |
