D-Generation X (also known DX) is a professional wrestling stable in GWF. The group originated in 2002, their gimmick was that of a gang of rebels who broke the rules, acted and spoke as they pleased, no matter how provocative and/or insulting. Noted for their crude, profane humor and sophomoric pranks, the stable has been dubbed multiple times as the "most controversial group in GWF history".

Signature taunts
When DX formed they began doing a gesture where they would put one arm on each side of their crotch and point down. This was known as the "crotch chop". There is an alternate version of the "crotch chop" where instead of pointing down on each side of their crotches, they point down and make their arms in an "X" formation, over their stomach/crotch. According to Paul Levesque (Triple K), Vince McMahon was hesitant to let them perform the "X" at first, but he was later talked into it. When DX enters the ring they do a pyro routine. Green X pyrotechnics go off three times, with DX crotch-chopping at each firing. They then pause for a second, then chop once more as the pyrotechnics fire for the fourth time.
The crotch chop is used in the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire by Jamal (Dev Patel) after getting away from pursuing security guards and by a character in the opening scenes of the 2008 movie Knocked Up. Fidel Edwards, the West Indian fast bowler has on occasions used the crotch chop after taking a wicket. It has also been used by Professional Bowler Pete Weber after getting a strike, Weber himself is a fan of wrestling. The character Kenny Powers in the HBO series, Eastbound & Down also uses the gesture in a fantasy sequence where he walks through the halls of the school where he works. In a 2010 episode of Family Guy, titled "Extra Large Medium", a cutaway shows Spock doing the crotch chop after he wins the lottery.
Suck it!
"Suck it!" is DX's signature slogan. This is also used in their popular "Let's get ready to suck it!" comment, originally a parody of Michael Buffer's "Let's get ready to rumble!" who routinely handled ring announcing duties in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the WWF's chief competitor during the mid-to-late 1990s. The routine originated in the "DX Army" era with X-Pac, Road Dogg, and Billy Gunn]] and starts when Triple H asks the audience "Are you ready?" He then shouts "No, [city name], I said, Are you ready?!", or "I thought this was [city name], I said, Are you ready?!", to elicit a louder reaction from the crowd. He would continue on, in a similar voice to Buffer, "Then, for the thousands in attendance, and to the millions watching at home: Let's get ready to suck it!" Following this, Road Dogg would announce a variation of "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages: D-Generation X proudly brings to you its soon-to-be/GWF Tag Team Champions of the World! The Road Dogg Jesse James, The Bad Ass Billy Gunn: the New Age Outlaws!" depending on their status as champions. The group would then talk or posture in relation to the people they were feuding with at the time. Billy Gunn would then end the routine with "And if you're not down with that, we got two words for yah!" to which the crowd shouts "suck it!" back at them.
During the tag team revival of the group the routine was truncated so that Triple H would say his part while Shawn Michaels would take Billy Gunn's lines to conclude it. They often would just say these two parts, with brief ad libbing, rather than lengthy speeches each time.
