5 failed WWE reunions 

#2 D - Generation X

Lets get ready to... Stop it!

Triple H and Shawn Michaels formed one of the funniest and most entertaining factions in 1997 when they formed D - Generation X. Every week they pushed the envelope on what they could get away with on the USA Network.

As described by Triple H, they were pretty much playing themselves on TV as they did on RAW whatever they thought was funny that they were doing backstage. After a very fun and successful run, the team portion of DX came to an end when Shawn suffered what was thought to be a career ending back injury.

He left WWE TV as a wrestler and Triple H and Chyna formed a new DX with X Pac, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, for more of the same pushing the envelope TV.

After a failed Rockers reunion never took off in 2006, WWE decided to reunite Shawn and Triple H and it was..... Meh. Watching two young entertaining stars say 'Suck It' while pointing to their crotches and other risque tactics in the late 90's were fun, they were moving on with the world and what the audience found entertaining. Watching two 40 something-year-olds do it in 2006 while the envelope had reached its peak, was just not funny.

Perhaps they could have pushed it a little more but at the request of the reborn again Shawn Michaels, everything was toned down. It also didn't help that they had no main event calibre stars to work with until the end of the year in a program with Edge and Randy Orton but even that ended almost as soon as it began when Triple H went down with a torn right quadriceps and wouldn't return to TV until the late summer in 2007.

Although it was a shame to see the Game go down with such a serious injury, it at least drew an end to the reunion.

DX would reunite once more from the summer of 2009 until early 2010. A DX reunion in a PG environment is all you need to know for how poor that was.
