DVD Review: The New and Improved D-X

This DVD set gives great insight into the reformation of one of the most controversial and fun duos in WWE history, Degeneration-X, Triple HHH and Shawn Michaels. This set highlights their feud with the chairman of WWE, Mr. Vince McMahon, who sent in his hired thugs the Spirit Squad to attempt to destroy the two individuals and failed every time. It all began with the Squad taking out Shawn Michaels, and then three weeks later trying to take out Triple HHH, but Michaels intervened and the reformation of D-X was born. Throughout the Summer of 2006, D-X ran roughshod over Raw and the Pay-Per-Views, destroying the Spirit Squad at every turn, but Mr. McMahon brought in a hired gun in the form of the ECW Champion the 7-foot Big Show, who attempted to destroy both men but was ultimately also unsuccessful. By the end of 2006 Randy Orton and Edge banded together to attempt to destroy D-X and called themselves Team Rated-RKO. They faced D-X at a PPV early in 2007 and won by disqualification, but Triple HHH had injured his quad muscle during the match and was unable to continue (it was his second such injury within the past 6 years). That effectively ended the twosome of D-X, but they have since reformed a few times for special "One-Night Only" occasions. This DVD set really has done a terrific job highlighting these individuals and is highly recommended. 4 3/4 out of 5 stars.
