Second for me was the best.

The worst by far was the fourth incarnation. 2 clowns coming out every week thinking they were hilarious. So stupid as well that they were suppose to be anti establishment at that stage when one is married to the Boss' daughter and the other has been in the company nearly 20 years.

For me, the first was the best. You'd never know what these guys would do each week. The 2nd incarnation was really just a continuation of this, after Shawn was injured.

Agree that the 4th was by far the worst though

First, it was hilarious, a lot of it was unscripted (apparently) and you'd genuinely be wondering what they'd do every week. the 2006 one was awful.

Am I the only one that didn't like DeGeneration-X? In terms of match quality there wasn't that many great matches throughout all of them. The Cell match with Taker was excellent, Rock/H ladder match was v. good but he rest was meh and the humour did nothing for, I didn't find the double entendres interesting. The DX vs The Nation of Domination feud was alright for a mid-card angle but it dragged on too long. The 2006 and 2009 incarnation was lousy, just used to shift merchandise.

The stupid sausage jokes and all that were cringeworthy, but Shawn jumping up and down in JR's face and having the facemasks with wipers when Sgt Slaugter was talking to them was hilarious. They were great at riling up a crowd too, I laughed my ass off when HHH lost the "coveted" European title to Shawn, his reaction of disbelief and completely overselling the loss was brilliant.

Second one for me - I was a huge mark for the New Age Outlaws

You just made me remember the match HHH with Slaughter on one of their worst PPV shows at the time

The first one is the easy winner. The second one was good, but kinda dorky and failed to reach the heights of the original line up. Third one wasnt bad but nothing more. Fourth was downright awful.

Pretty much started at the peak and gradually went downhill.

First 3 incarnations of D-Generation X were without a doubt the best, 4th incarnation was just Triple H & Shawn Michaels goofing off for the younger fans & some nostalgia thrown in for older fans.

2nd. Can we just pretend like the 4th one didn't happen

First one for me. In HHH documentary he said the the 2006 run was more poking fun at himself and Shawn for being old and trying to act hip.

The second one with the New Age Outlaws included for me.

During the first incarnation, HHH's ass-licking of Shawn Michaels is so cringeworthy; you almost believed that was what the kliq was like in real life; which made me want them to lose; not likeable heels at all in my opinion. Still, very entertaining.

Heels arent supposed to be likeable.

Never liked DX was always up for the Hart Foundation

The first one easily, for sure. Second one was great too, but definitely the first one. It was just so unpredictable.

CSF

The second one for me. Largely because I had more exposure to them than I did the first one.

Which doesn't really work when they're still kicking ass in the ring.

Road Dogg and Billy Gunn have the potential to pull that act off extremely well right now if they want to bury them.
