If you have so many DX-affiliated people on the two shows, then it waters down DX, much like the NWO before it.
Anyway, if you do start a SmackDown version of DX, why not an X-Pac-led ECW version too?
My main problem with DX is where is their motivation? Just because they're buddies again, super-serious HHH and HBK suddenly become fun-loving, childish pranksters overnight??? There is no storyline explanation for this turn of events.
And what's more, the spiel-reeling, catchphrase churning, crowd interaction, fun loving DX never involved Shawn Michaels anyway. The original DX, with HHH and HBK, were an antagonistic and obnoxious group. They are currently being portrayed more as the HHH-led DX of 1998, when Michaels was long gone from the group.
Not that it REALLY matters, it just shows that either the WWE has short memories indeed, or that they simply don't respect those who DO remember the events of back in the day. I'm leaning towards the latter because, seeing a 10 year old(ish) kid in the audience throwing crotch chops on Raw, I thought to myself "you must have been a toddler when the original DX was around". WWE can rewrite history as much as it wants because we are the minority... the majority, the casual fans, are either too young to remember or don't care enough to notice the difference.
