Billy Gunn isn’t sure D-X could ever be recreated, but he knows it would take a special situation to make it work.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Billy Gunn was asked if D-Generation X could be replicated, or if he felt like it was a perfect situation when it happened. Gunn said he didn’t want to say it never could happen, but believed that the group he was part of had something special and that it would take something unique to make it work.
“I don’t want to say it can’t happen, because anything can happen in the wrestling business, but it would take a special dynamic. There were only five of us, and we never washed it down. NWO ruined themselves by letting everyone join. I think there were something like 350 members, right? There were five members of DX, and we all clicked and we all knew our positioning. We all worked together to make something special, and we knew how to feed off each other to make it work.
“It was almost too good to be true. Look at the way it happened. Shawn [Michaels] dropped out. Hunter needed some other guys. Me and Road Dogg were never supposed to be together, but then we were put together and we clicked. Then you have Chyna, who is in a league by herself, and Kid [Sean Waltman] added a special dynamic that no one else could. Everybody gelled, everything came together. And let’s look at the landscape. You had [Steve] Austin and [Vince] McMahon, who were red hot. You had The Rock, Undertaker. It was a time that was so special.”
