In a recent episode of the “Oh…You Didn’t Know” podcast, ‘Road Dogg’ Brian James and Matt ‘The Casio Kid’ Mitchell took a deep dive into the storied rivalry between D-Generation X (DX) and The Corporation. The conversation was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting some of the most iconic moments in WWE history.
Road Dogg, a key member of DX, candidly discussed the long-standing feud between the two factions. He admitted that while it seemed like the rivalry could have continued for a longer period, he doesn’t remember much of it, hinting that this might be a reason why it didn’t persist.
The conversation took a turn towards a specific match – Road Dogg versus Mankind for the hardcore Championship. The match was a wild ride, featuring brawling up the ramp, table shots, chair shots, and even a dive off the stands by Mankind, landing an elbow on Road Dogg through a table. Road Dogg humorously recalled the pain of that moment, describing Mankind as a “large man” and the only way for both of them to be safe was for Mankind to land on him.
The match ended with Road Dogg pinning Mankind in nine minutes and eight seconds to retain the hardcore Championship. However, the victory was not without controversy. The Rock had interfered, delivering a Rock Bottom to Mankind on the floor, leading to the pin. Road Dogg, upon seeing a replay, protested, stating he didn’t want to win that way. He emphasized his character as a babyface and his respect for Mankind, expressing a desire for a fair and square victory.
The podcast episode was a fascinating exploration of the dynamics between DX and The Corporation, providing fans with a unique insight into one of the most memorable periods in WWE history.
