[1997-10-13-WWF-Raw] Hart Foundation and DX

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Vince gets out his question, but before Bret can respond, Shawn and Hunter cut in on the Titantron to poke fun at Bret for getting old, and to replay Shawn picking his nose with the Canadian flag last week. Hunter also points out that he has a larger penis than Bret. There's heat building to set up a match and there's petty personal shots and a lot of this feels more like the latter. Shawn is awesome in this role, but he's almost *too* effective. 16 years later, I'm watching him in these segments and he STILL pisses me off! Bret challenges either one of them to come to the ring and face him right now and they taunt him and officially name themselves Degeneration X. Bret says they won't even make it to Survivor Series.

This looked edited all to hell so who knows what kind of immature nonsense hit the proverbial cutting room floor.

Don’t like Michaels referring to the WWF Title as a “stupid piece of tin”. The fans are cheering for Bret by default as Shawn has become so vile. DX is given their name.

I didn't like HBK calling the belt a piece of tin. This was probably my least favorite Shawn segment in a while honestly. It is more potshots centered around the main event at a PPV.

Shawn & HHH are seriously the biggest impediment to me finishing this Yearbook. This is total bury-the-opponent bullshit that's worse than the worst Jerry Lawler stuff from 1990. If "everybody" is younger and better than Bret, why the fuck should we care if HBK beats him? Of course, Shawn doesn't care about any of that at this point, either. D-Generation X officially has a name.

[Exposer]

Oh my God DX are unbearable. They officially name themselves DX here as they interrupt a scheduled Bret interview on the tron to poke fun at the Hart Foundation. Shawn has said he's beaten everyone in the Hart Foundation & will take the belt from Bret again at Survivor Series. They mock Bret with video of Shawn shoving the Canadian flag up his nose from last week. HHH brags about beating Bret & says he's bigger than him in more ways than one. They mercifully finish their portion of the segment & Bret says DX won't make it to Survivor Series. DX are the worst.
