D-Generation X
D-Generation X figures in four storylines documented on WrestlingFeuds, spanning 1992–2000 in WWF.
Storylines
Bret Hitman Hart vs. Shawn Michaels The Heartbreak Kid (Jul 1992 – Nov 1997)
A five-year rivalry between the WWF's two defining New Generation stars ended with Vince McMahon secretly ordering the bell rung on Bret Hart's own Sharpshooter, handing Shawn Michaels the WWF Championship without Hart's knowledge or submission in Hart's home country of Montreal, an incident that broke apart a real friendship, birthed the villainous Mr. McMahon character, and is still argued about by everyone involved.

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Aug 1997 – Oct 1997)
A SummerSlam chair shot meant for Bret Hart instead crashed into The Undertaker's skull, turning Shawn Michaels heel and igniting a rivalry that ran through a no-contest riot and a brass-knuckles brawl before landing on professional wrestling's first Hell in a Cell match. Kane tore the cell door off its hinges to end it, launching one of the most famous debuts in wrestling history and sending Michaels straight into the Montreal Screwjob five weeks later.

D-Generation X vs. The Nation of Domination (Mar 1998 – Sep 1998)
Within a day of WrestleMania XIV, both factions changed hands: Triple H inherited D-Generation X from a retiring Shawn Michaels, and The Rock took The Nation of Domination from Faarooq. The rivalry between the two new leaders ran through a widely condemned blackface parody, a two-out-of-three-falls time-limit draw, a weapons-filled street fight, and a SummerSlam ladder match that made both men into main-eventers.

The Rock vs. Triple H (Jul 1998 – Jun 2000)
Dwayne Johnson and Paul Levesque spent two years trading the Intercontinental and WWF Championships across a ladder match, a strap match, a Fatal Four-Way, and a sixty-minute Iron Man match with Shawn Michaels as referee, a rivalry that grew out of real backstage friction between two ambitious young stars and ended with both of them running the company's next decade.
