WCW Round 2, Match 8: The Dudley Boyz vs. DeGeneration X

[Shocky]

All of these matches take place in a WCW Style ring with WCW Rules.

The Dudley Boyz are the team of Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley from 1998-2002.

DeGeneration X are the team of Shawn Michaels and Triple H from 2006-2007.

I have to go with the Duddleys here. As I tag team they accomplished more than HHH & HBK did as one. Also the 2006-2007 was a very watered down version of DX and wasn't as good as the original. The Duddleys were really good tag champs, put on great matches with Hardys/E&C/and also help make tag wrestling be a draw. The last few years the Duddleys have sucked so just remember 1998-2002 since they were at their best during thoes years.

I've never liked the tag team work of the HBK/HHH version of DX. The Dudleyz are one of the greatest goddamn tag teams to ever step into a ring. You'd be hard pressed to find a team to rival the Dudleyz in their prime. Hell, even now they're one of the best in the business.

For some reason the DX tag team doesn't really come off well to me. Can't put my finger on it...maybe it's because, being comedic faces, they're booked to look weak at times. This is Shawn Michaels and Hunter for Matt Striker, err, God's sake! For some reason they look stronger as individual guys than as a tag team...either way, the Dudleyz cream them here.

The Dudleyz. Anyone who votes for DX is voting on the name power of two very good singles stars. The New Age Oulaws WERE tag team wrestling for DX, NOT HBK and HHH.

The Dudleyz, I hate to say this (because I despise Bubba Ray as a person), are the Ric Flair of tag team wrestling. Maybe not the best drawing, maybe not the most athletic, but they have the championships, longevity, and reputation to back up their game. I don't see the Dudleyz getting TOO far, but they get past the weak, late incarnation of DX's two singles stars.

Let me say this one time, and hopefully one time only.

The modern version of DX, sucks. Plain and simple, they freaking suck.

DX is a pitiful attempt to cash in on something that was huge 10 years ago. HHH and Shawn have moved on from DX. Shawn as the Christian he is today just doesn't fit in DX, and HHH is now the biggest star in the company, not the backbone that had an epic feud with the Rock ten years ago. These are two already over guys getting a push that they don't need.

Then you have the Dudleyz. As IC said, they are the Ric Flair of tag wrestling. Name one place they haven't been tag team champions. Everywhere tehy've gone, they have won. They have everything you need to be a successful team: The clothes, the music, the symbol (table), the gold, and most importantly, the finisher. Tell me that at some point you haven't marked the fuck out for the 3D. They were never a great in ring team, but they made up for it. The Dudleyz are a modern version of the Road Warriors, alebit not as good.

I don't really remember D-X teaming together much when they were good in 1997-8. They were associated together, and had the odd match. But it was only in 2006 when they frequently teamed. And they sucked then. But then again, they didn't lose. The Dudleyz would have been Murdock & Cade were they still in WWE at that time.
