#4 Would D-Generation X have been the force they became?

D-Generation X benefited hugely from Mike Tyson's spell in WWE

The build-up to Shawn Michaels vs. Steve Austin at WrestleMania XIV largely centred around boxer Mike Tyson, who aligned with D-Generation X a month before the show and acted as the “special outside enforcer” for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship main event.

Tyson’s involvement at ‘Mania in 1998 proved a massive success for WWE, but would D-Generation X have received the same pop culture recognition that they did in the late 90s if “The Baddest Man on the Planet” aligned with The Hart Foundation instead?

Had Bret stayed with WWE, Tyson might not have been involved in a storyline with D-Generation X, and it could have been Bret, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart and The British Bulldog in that main-event position rather than Michaels, Triple H & Co.
