Impressed with the new DX?
 

Read title

Sure. I'm impressed. Better than the other shit WWE can pull out.

The "new" DX is better than most everything else WWE RAW/SD has to offer. Nothing can compare to when they first came out b/c it was real and their were genuine motives behind it. The antics they did then are unbelievably funny. Who knows they might surprise us...it only Week 1!

As much as I enjoy seeing DX back together, it seems a bit contrived. Between this and half of TNA's roster I feel like I'm back in the 90s.

I enjoyed them tonight, but I don't know how many weeks they will be able to pull off the same stunts before the nostalga runs out.

Well Shawn is getting knee surgury after Summerslam so enjoy it while you can kids

I enjoyed the slime and a few other things. I didn't really enjoy them acting like teenagers though. They sure put a lot of effrot into spray painting the wall the threw Coach through.

So overall unsure.

What page of the RAW thread was it being mentioned? I just want to see people's reactions.

It's alot better than everything else on RAW. Period.

Thus, I'm impressed. I'm amazed, actually, that the people presently in charge with the state of mind they have can set up something that does NOT make me wretch. It's like, y'know...when a mentally handicapped kid with a straight F record for the last two years brings home a Report Card with at least one B on it. Yeah, it's just a B...but for that kid? Impressive.

While the concept of reuniting DX irked the hell out of me at first, I have to admit that I was indeed quite entertained. I did laugh aloud several times.

The alien was awesome.

Haven't seen the new D-X yet. I've been working the past two Mondays, and will be working next Monday night as well.

I haven't seen RAW yet, but what they did sounds cheesy as Hell. Yay! Cheese. No.

The interaction between Hunter and Shawn is fun, since they've got chemistry and are obviously having fun.

But, come on, two 40 year olds spray painting a guy's ass? :|

Yesterday's RAW was one of the best Raws I've seen in ages. It was amazing. I laughed at Coach, I laughed at their antics in the ring at the end. Everything about it was awesome. I won't say it was better than the original because this one is only a week old, but I definately enjoyed it. Can't wait for more.

As of right now, they are enjoyable. As long as they can keep their shennanigans fresh, i'll continue being interested.

It will be ok. It will never be the original because original DX had pill popping coked up HBK, who didn't care about anything.

Yeah thats kinda the same thing I was thinking. I like the fact that these two are together as they work well together.

But it does seem werid two 40 years are doing all this childish stuff.


And alot of thier pranks where abosolute crap. I mean green slime. Cmon

Yeah, Michaels blindfolding himself over cheerleaders? Gay. What the fuck is up with Christians being too stupid to distinguish between a character and their life? Michaels will never be all over the place like he used to be.

I liked the slime. Not so much the slime as much as them humiliating someone like that. It's a classic "gotcha."

the only thing that bothers me is we have 2 old people trying to act like kids

they should get some young members

They weren't spring chickens the first time around, either. Especially their sidekicks, who looked like they were even older than they really are (Waltman acting like a teenager=Waltman looking like a 60 year old man).

Well, for the sake of continuity, Val Venis would make a decent third member of DX IMO. Just for the fact that Spirit Squad are the ones that further injured his elbow and have put him out of action. He can be pretty money on the mic.

Justin Credible could fit if he wasn't in ECW

DX firstly was always overrated.

Secondly, I've seen some people going omg, it's vintage DX!! which is BS. DX werent always trying to go out and be funny. They were just rebelling in a time when that seemed perhaps plausible. Now everything has been done, and I'm watching a reborn christian very much wattered down, and a guy in HHH who is married to the boss' daughter, and I cant help but think of that when I see them do this immature shit that they are way past now, 40 year olds acting like they are 20.

They pushed too hard last night to make DX FUNNY. DX isnt funny, they are lewd. But they lost that, because the characters are much different now then they used to be. It comes off contrived.

i dont have a problem with their age really...

I mean how old was Hogan when he was running around spray painting people in the NWO?

I dont feel DX was ever overrated...They were a very popular group and certainly helped add to the ratings and both HHH and HBK could put on good matches.

I dont care if they are trying to be funny if they are entertaining and last night I found them very entertaining. Plus, for all the HHH and HBK haters out there, its keeping them out of the title scene for everyone who wants to see new champions like the RVD's out there.

Nothing shocks the wrestling world anymore. We've seen necrophilia angles, "I want to rape your black honky wife" angles, a gay marriage angle, and Chris Masters.

Shawn and Hunter should ejaculate on each member of the Spirit Squad. That'd be some good, shocking, DX-BABY! entertainment.

On the contrary, by being in this DX IS BACK angle, HHH and HBK are actually hogging the main event spotlight on every episode of RAW, very much taking away from guys like RVD, Edge and John Cena, who are, arguably, much more entertaining as a whole.

It's the Benoit/Overshadow theory.

I didnt say main event...I was careful not to say main event...i said Title scene...Plus...the RVD/Cena title scene you are now getting twice a week on Raw and ECW, so they are getting plenty of exposure as well while WWE tries to build up the new brand.

Plus, although the SS guys are probably not going to get over, they are young and getting to work matches with two top performers should at least help them develop in-ring.

Savior, you have got to have this on download or something dammit.

What part?

I seem to recall titles being held by DX in the past.

Also, with the ME scene being eaten up between the Suck Squad and Degeneration X, it's harder to develop new champions...

:wtf:
Cena more entertaining than DX?
I repeat, :wtf:

I enjoyed last nights Raw more than John Cena's title reign combined, so I beg to disagree... and Cena has hardly been out of the spotlight or main events. Did you forget last week's Raw for example? Or maybe the last 10,000 PPV's? I think the fact that there's an up coming PPV that doesn't include John Cena in the main event/title match is a breath of fresh air that WWE needs. It's finally given Raw back an element of unpredictability, which is what it needed desperately.

Besides, RVD, Edge and Cena are getting multiple spotlights on 2 different shows, so you do the math. As much as I hate the Spirit Load getting this much airtime, they have served a necessary purpose in an angle that I think has been brought along quite nicely...and that's the DX reunion. There had to have been motive for HHH/HBK to need each other again and that has been accomplished. But if you'd prefer having every goddamn episode of Raw finish with Cena overcoming the odds in the main event/spotlight, then that's your personal choice...but thank god that time has come to an end.

Yes, obviously DX has had titles in the past...thats completely off point and not what I said...they dont have titles now...nor are they currently competing for titles.

You have segments on Raw that are promoting Cena-RVD-Edge for the title as well as a good portion of ECW devoted to that angle.

You have a good 3 way going for the IC title between Shelt-Carlito-Nitro

You have Orton and Angle getting time apiece on Raw and ECW

I dunno....im ok with it.

It looked far too contrived and my fears about it were confirmed.

Although I did find Trips' comment about the stud that knocked up Steph, as Kevin Nash would say "LOL we're laughing out loud!"

I liked it. Wrestling is getting interesting again.

Vengeance looks like the best WWE ppv in a LONG time. It is such a solid card it's unbelievable. I don't really know what else to say, it is looking like the WWF.

I really did like them playing with Shawns "religious obligations" making it seem rather funny. It was alot of old DX jokes and such, but honestly, If they turn up the intensity it could compare to the old days. Although nothing can compare to Coked-Up HBK. Seriously, he was the man when he was shooting more snow up his nose than a husky.

I loved it, but I found myself not believing that HHH and HBK came up with the stuff. Like vince's dressing room, it was obviovs that those guys did not paint the room. and the slime, that just bleeds creative team. but i couldn't help but to think, "DX would work SOO much better with a third member, a man called KEVIN NASH!!"

Currently. Unless you are a WWE writer and can guarantee me that this will not change, that's moot.

DX in the main event takes away from the champions.
