Title:
"We will only use the words ass, damn, hell and bitch (D-X State of the Union)"
Date:
03.02.1998
Shawn Michaels: "Good evening, my fellow Americans. This past week, D-Generation X was informed that TSN, Star TV, Sky Sports, and USA Network is drawing the line on Standards and Practices as it relates to WWF programming and D-Generation X. In the future, we need to be careful of what we do, and what we don't do. Again, D-X gets in trouble every time we do something gratuitously. Therefore, the following is the Standards and Practices that D-X promises to adhere to."

Triple H: "From the hours of 9pm to 10pm, we will only use the words 'ass', 'damn', and 'hell'. We will never, however, use the words 'shit', 'faggot', 'fuck', 'Jesus Christ', 'goddamn', or any other racial or sexual slurs. From 10pm to 11pm, we will only use the words 'ass', 'damn', 'hell' and 'bitch'. We will never, however, use the words 'shit', 'fuck', 'goddamn', 'Jesus Christ', 'faggot' or any other racial or sexual slurs. Now then, as it pertains to video, we promise there will be less dick references."

Shawn Michaels: "Awww, shit!"

Triple H: "Watch your fuckin' mouth!"

Shawn Michaels: "Woah, fuck me..."

Triple H: "Goddammit... fuck!... Anyway, there will be less references to our enormous genitalia."

Shawn Michaels: "Oh, and one last thing. Even though many of you believe that currently the favorite pastime in the 'Oral Office' is 'swallow the leader', I did not, I repeat, I did not sleep with that young intern. As a matter of fact, I was UP, ALL, NIGHT! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Note: This promo was heavily censored on its initial airing. An uncensored version was made available on a D-Generation X VHS release not long after, in which the phrase "references to our enormous genitalia" was replaced with "penis references".

[6.0] "It's a comedy DX promo that was all about being edgy and it wasn't awful, as both guys were being silly between themselves, but the only thing I got the kick out of was Michaels ending the speech with an intern line. It was fine for the gimmick they were doing and that's it."

[10.0] "I cracked up so much as soon as Triple H says "There will be less dick references". It's a really funny Shawn Michaels and Triple H segment where they are told to apologise to the TV network for the raunchy segments they'd been doing to push the envelope further during the Attitude Era and it's even funnier that the network executives loved the segment. Even the censored one that aired on Raw was hilarious because of the way the dx censor logo keeps switching between Shawn and Hunter so seamlessly."

OMG MY JEWISH RAbbI BILL CLINTON That wouldve been a lot funnier if Shawn did that it wouldve been like #Reference! #Winning! ... Ummmm.... Can you spell, #AwesomeSauce? But yeah They said fuck and bitch ass penis cock sex which was funny"

[8.0] "This is Attitude Era in a nutshell, or in a short promo. It'd be weird trying to rate this as if it aired in the 2010s, but in 1998 this was brilliant."

[1.0] "Never really found this whole promo to be funny. Typical DX like humor, and while I found it funny when I was younger, these days it's just pretty cringeworthy. There are some DX promos (even from their 2006 return run) that are legitimately funny, but this isn't one of them. Not worthy of having such a high rating IMO."

[6.0] "All it is is a minor promo mocking the Clinton scandal. Why it's rated this high, I have no idea. I guess out of nostalgia, people would have fond memories, but it hasn't really aged that well."

[10.0] "WWF Attitude Era classic promo. DX was at their very best during those days. Funny and entertaining as hell. Just how it must be done."
