D Generation X

On Monday, Feb. 18, it was announced that pro-wrestling super group D-Generation X (DX) would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

As members of DX, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, Chyna, and X-Pac were the superstars of the WWE's Attitude Era. Not only did they hold nearly every title known in the WWE Universe at the time, but they also shifted the course of elementary school classrooms with their trademark crotch chop and "suck it" tagline.

This innovation and impact is why both the originals, including Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Chyna, as well as the extended group consisting of Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac will enter the Hall of Fame. 

"I think it's the most meaningful for us all to go in together and to be recognized together," Triple H said to ESPN. "Because I think both groups were [just] as impactful."

Although everyone can agree that DX deserves to be in the hall, the group was full of several iconic personalities who were Hall of Fame candidates before DX was formed. As a result, many are wondering why these entertainers were not inducted by themselves as well—mainly the trailblazer Chyna. 

CHYNA SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME, CHYNA SHOULD BE IN HALL OF FAME.#WWE puts her in w/ one of the most iconic groups ever.

CHYNA SHOULD BE IN BY HERSELF. SHE SHOULDN'T BE OVERSHADOWED.

Some wrestling fans...if you gave them a $100 bill they complain they wanted 5, $20 bills.

Also, for all of you who are angry Chyna isn't being inducted alone and think this is a way to ignore her achievements, Triple H alluded to @espn that she'd probably go in by herself one day too. So please calm down. pic.twitter.com/z06gitGSEy
