    You could get away with alligning Punk with Michaels but I'm not sure he'd fit into the whole DX thing...... Snitsky on the other hand :D

    I would be shocked, but plesantly surprised if Punk got to do the Straight Edge gimmick in WWE. I just picture Punk getting his big break as a member of DX, or some faction, gaining a bit of popularity and then breaking out on his own.
    Never gonna happen though!

    I always thought Snitsky and Heidenreich would make a great tag team, if only for their entertaining promos

    DX would be great for someone like Shelton Benjamin who struggles to show his charisma. He's also had mini-feuds with HHH and HBK in the past so I think it would be believable to think that they would allow him to join.

    maybe 'god' is HHH!!!!!!!!!!! its believable what with HH being carried out like a king and all

    It's obvious at this stage, the pyro guy is God!

    I remember talkin to a mate of mine about this DX thing yonks ago, and a name that always kept popping up was Chris Jericho. I know he's left the WWE to follow other interests, but its nice to dream :D

    But when they did the Rock /Austin Wrestling History recap it showed how good it was then compared to now.

    I was watching it the other night and my girlfriend happened to be there and about 5 mins after the rock/austin recap she turned around and said "its not as good now as it was back then is it?that actually looked kind of exciting!"
    This from someone who hates it yet could tell the difference between now and then with just a 2 minute clip!

    I personally don't have a huge problem with a DX reunion.
    I know digging up old gimmicks isn’t the "way forward", but really HBK and HH are not the way forward full stop, so why not have a bit of fun by teaming them again? Neither are doing anything too memorable at the moment - for HHH it's a case of same title picture, different opponent as it's been for years now and I think everyone would like to see Michael's current angle ended asap.
    I would not be in favor of any other former DX members coming back, but no one bar Rick Rude (RIP) and Chyna (May as well be RIP as far as a chance of reviving her WWE career goes) would be an original member anyway. I think Michaels and Helmsley would be strong enough on their own to pull off the revival of the gimmick, no one can deny their chemistry together. If they brought the gimmick back, but gave it a more modern feel to suit their current image/status on screen rather than the HHH and HBK of '97, then it could work, or at least be funny for a while. What other suggestions does anyone have for both their careers at this point? A roster move is about the only other one I can think of.
    Bringing back factions is possibly trial and error - Rejoining the Hart Foundation in '97 worked in my view.NWO in 2002 was pretty much a disaster, but it didn’t damage the careers of Hogan, Nash and Hall long term, so why not give this a try?

    Why not reform them, then form a new Hart Foundation with Teddy Hart, Harry Smith and Nattie Neidhart to feud with them.

    I think that would be good.

    it didnt exactly do wonders for nash and hall though. it made everyone realise how cool it was originally and how it sucked at the end of wcw.

    That fued between dx and the Harts wouldn't work at all. DX would never ever ever put them over. teddy wold probably go into business for himself anyway. he has an even bigger ego than trip

    If DX were done properly, cuting edge they would work, but not in an evoloution mode. then they could bring back the horsemen who want to protect traditionalism with Flair, Benoit etc.
