''"[[Catch Phrase|Suck]] [[Memetic Mutation|it]]!"''
Now, that's the boring answer. So, [[Catch Phrase|are you ready?]], No [[TV Tropes]], [[Memetic Mutation|I said ARE YOU READY?]] [[Ear Worm|Break it down!]]. Ahem, D-Generation X exemplified the [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] craziness of the late 1990s [[WWE|WWF]]. It consisted of [[Shawn Michaels]], [[Triple H]], [[Stephanie McMahon]], [[X-Pac Heat|X-Pac]], [[Chyna]], [[Breakup Breakout|Road Dogg]], [[Demoted to Extra|Billy Gunn]], [[Killed Off for Real|Rick Rude]], [[And Zoidberg|and]] [[The Chick|Tori]]. [[Self-Demonstrating Article|As you can see]], not every member of D-X was successful, but its legacy and the lengthy [[True Companions|bond]] between all (well, most) of them changed the careers of everyone involved and in many ways wrestling forever.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: The Hart Foundation, The Nation of Domination, and [[The Corporation]] were all enemies of DX in succession.
* [[Animal Motif]]: The Road [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Dogg]] even had a [[Furry Fandom|anthropomorphic
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The entire damn stable. From where [[Seme|Triple H]] stands in relation to [[Uke|Shawn Michaels]] when they hit the ring to the [[Black Comedy Rape|setup]] to Road Dogg's Pumphandle Powerslam to the random lips painted all over Billy Gunn's trunks along with his moniker of "Mr. Ass". D-X reeks of this trope.

Line 24:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Triple H]], hell, the main reason he got pushed was because [[Shawn Michaels]] thought Trips was hilarious, the audience certainly agreed.
* [[Delinquents]]: Their major gimmick, due to [[Shawn Michaels]] and [[Triple H]]'s [[Real Life]] backstage hijinks.
* [[Depraved Bisexual
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The original, very brief, and easily forgotten DX incarnation featuring Rick Rude as the group Enforcer. This roster only lasted about three months before Rude split for [[WCW]] and famously appeared on Raw and Nitro on the same night. Soon after [[Shawn Michaels]] went on indefinite leave because of injuries, DX brought in Chyna as their new Enforcer and the New Age Outlaws as full-time members, evolving from sophomoric jokes and insults into the revolutionary "DX Army" incarnation they're best remembered for.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Shawn. Just - [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Shawn]], and to a lesser but still significant extent, [[Triple H]].
