Was DX originally a couple of fun-loving pranksters who turned pro-wrestling into the Jerry Springer show, or were they a symbol of unfettered chaos, a testament to Shawn Michaels' mad genius? This week on The Work of Wrestling podcast host Tim Kail and special guest Al Monelli explore that question, offering a definitive answer that you won't get in Attitude Era or DX montages. This is an exploration of of DX's true nature under the leadership of Shawn Michaels, and how vicious and violent and unsettling DX-segments really were. Also, why do promos sound so different today? What was Shawn doing back then that few have been able to achieve since? It's not because promos are "scripted" today. Al & Tim offer a different explanation that further exemplifies Shawn's brilliance as a heel in 1997. Follow Tim on Twitter @MaximusWrestler and follow Al @MonelliFilms.
