The Kliq

The Kliq circa 1995

They are the reason why I watched wrestling back then. I started watching wrestling back in 1995 when I was 9 years old. I’m a fan of the old wrestling days.

What is The Kliq?
The Kliq was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all booking power and were accused of refusing to be fair to anyone outside of the group.

The group was composed of Michael Hickenbottom, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and Paul Levesque. In 1996, The Kliq broke character at a house show at Madison Square Garden in an incident referred to as the “Curtain Call: The MSG Incident”, an event which affected the WWF’s subsequent storylines and development.

The Kliq was also the primary catalyst for the two most controversial stables in wrestling history: D-Generation X in the WWF and the New World Order in World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
