DX Unpopular in the Locker Room?

Its being reported that Triple H and Shawn Michaels are getting some serious heat in both the SmackDown and RAW locker rooms, because of the abuse in power. Triple H being the son in law of Mr. McMahon and Michaels a close friend, its understandable where this rumor would get its start.

Instances of abusive power: In the 2008 Draft, Triple H was traded to SmackDown as the WWE Champion, he would not allow Jeff Hardy to get the World Title push.

Another instance: The 2008 Draft was suppose to last a year, but a draft was held prematurely in order to move Triple H back over on RAW, due to frustration of not being on the top brand.

And another instance: It was reported that prior to the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, R- Truth was ordered to remove his camouflage vest because it was gimmick infringement - DX is currently sporting the army look. - I wonder if it would've been ok with DX for John Cena to revert back to his Marine gimmick?

Fact: Fans love DX and that's what sells tickets. No one is going to buy tickets to see Finlay and Mike Knox, or Slam Master J and Charlie Haas. It just would never happen.

Dilemma: WWE is suffering from lack of future big names in the business. They are still selling the same names that made them big in the attitude era. Problem is that these superstars are noticeably getting older and the younger wrestlers won't be ready to carry the company after their departure.

When Shawn Michaels returned from his WrestleMania hiatus, he had asked Jericho who had been developed since: John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, and Cryme Tyme over on SmackDown, but no one on RAW.

Truthfully, DX has given Legacy the push of a lifetime. To be known as the first team to make DX submit or to main event pay-per-views at such a young age?

DX is definitely hogging the spot light over on RAW, along with Orton and Cena, but more wrestlers are going to have to start stepping up their game. Shawn Michaels came into the business when Hulk Hogan was the sole mega star - what did HBK do? He worked 10 times as hard than anyone else by putting on the best matches possible.

So a shout out to all the superstars that complain that DX is taking over: Well then, make the WWE remember why they hired you by being the best in the world at what you do.
