Vince McMahon has a lot of negative qualities to him. He’s an egomaniacal, out-of-touch, petty sociopath who will chase people around the workplace with soiled underwear on a stick. Despite being an eccentric psycho, Vince still has his positives. One of them is how whenever WrestleMania comes by, he tends to treat the roster like Ebenezer Scrooge treats people on Christmas Day. WrestleMania is the biggest payday of the year and it’s a show where they try to get as many people on as possible so that even some of the lowest-ranking folks can earn some big money.
It can take many forms, from ten-man tag matches, Fatal 4-Ways, Money in the Bank, or even just tossing in a bunch of pointless singles matches featuring guys who aren’t even feuding. The most tried and true way to get a bunch of wrestlers on the show with little effort is a battle royal.

D-Generation X has three words for you: Hall of Fame. Dx, the legendary WWE faction, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2019. They are the first inductees to be announced for the honor this year.
For the purposes of their group induction, Dx consists of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, X-Pac and Chyna. The 2019 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is set to take place on Saturday, April 6 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. WrestleMania 35 takes place the next night at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium.
With the nod, Michaels becomes a two-time inductee, just like his idol Ric Flair. Chyna posthumously takes her rightful place in the Hall.
“Ravishing” Rick Rude was a periphery member of Degeneration-x, referred to as the original lineup’s “insurance policy.” He’s not included here, but perhaps Rude will get a shoutout during the acceptance speech.
