Why The Kliq Were The Most Hated Gang in Wrestling (wrestling documentary) 

The fact that they got away with it is really disgusting, they were very lucky that non of the people they bullied used a gun on them.

BSK and the Kliq were tight though.

Well unless you were from wcw

Hahahaha

It’s just like in sports. You know your place/role and play it to your full capabilities. But I digress 😊

Don't you mean Waltman? dude was awful and only got anywhere because of him riding the coattails of The Kliq/DX and nWo in WCW

But that sidewalk slam though! (Sarcasm)

Waltman is genuinely very very good in the ring lol wtf

@@davidkelling159 you're joking right?

They couldn’t mess with anyone apart from no marks and noobs really. Anyone who sold a ticket was in no danger. Vince wasn’t stupid

Kliq and BSK are friends.

That's cause Bret and Taker got their own club. Undertaker got BSK and Bret got his Hart families: Davey, Owen, Pillman, and Neidhart. Not only that Bret had tons of friends still working in WWF at the time as well. Few mentions are Rick Rude, Crush, Adam Bomb, Yokozuna, Undertaker, and even X-Pac.

@@VOAN There's overlap in the group. Rude, Undertaker, Owen and Davey are friends with the Kliq. And Pac is a Kliq member.

@@VOAN don't forget that Undertaker was the Locker Room Leader, the biggest strongest most no-nonsense guy in the WWF. One of the closest guys to Vince besides the Kliq.

Neither would I.

Worked so well together because they had too much freedom backstage 🤷🏼‍♂️

Also Bret made great matches with all of them, so Bret and Undertaker were the exception to the main event level

Everyone was afraid of the Undertaker!! More like they respected the Undertaker

No they weren't. They loved him. BSK and Kliq partied together.

undertaker liked the kliq

They respected the undertaker , and taker respects them . Guys like Scott and Taker came up in the same time . Also JBL and Farooq was respected and vice versa

Alcohol took his life RIP

Amen

@@muhammad_alshammari84 more the fact he mixed that dangerous addiction with his pain pills addiction it is sad someone so monumental to 90's pro wrestling fans died right when the BAD GUY was starting to seem to be living the clean and sober life now when I watch DDP I can't hate on him

Amen! I hate that he's gone I grew up a huge kliq mark

@@kyledamron 💯

Vince isn’t a saint, he’s as bad as those guys. It makes sense that he would let these things go in the name of business.

Kliq HBK would make for a fantastic movie or video game villain because all the accounts really makes him look like a real love to hate villain who just gets under your skin when his mouth opens.

It was manipulation and anyone who could talk smoothly and had a good body probably could have done it something that happened pretty much set the stage for the 2 groups that sold the most merchandise for both WCW and WWF dude I still have my 90's nWo shirt and DX military parody shirt plus the nWo backpack I swear the only difference was the group numbers the smaller had more stand out moments the larger had more notable members

Vince was in love with Shawn and I mean IN LOVE. You could tell every time Vince interviewed him he would fawn over him like a school girl

What did you want Vince to do? He was over a barrel in the mid 90s because of the competition, if Vince didn’t kiss their ass they would’ve left for wcw.

True words! Good stuff. 👍

The WWE locker room should had thank Eric Bischoff for dividing the Kliq cause after that the Kliq had never reform ever again. With Hall and Nash in WCW, Triple H and Michaels are on their own with Waltman going between them. Even when Hall and Nash return in 2002, the Kliq is still not complete as Michaels is still out of action and when Michaels did return, Hall and X-Pac were gone from the WWE with Michaels being a change man and is more safer, no longer a prick, and most respectful in the ring. He's such a change man that he and the Rock almost work together but then Rock left for Hollywood after his feud with Goldberg.

It's always the people doing wrong who want their dirt covered up

Oh please. Stop listening to RU-vid.

@@danthemancushecan care to elaborate?

@@danthemancushecan where is the lie?

HBK - Junky Hall - Drunk Nash - Asshole HHH - Banging Boss's daughter Lol what is X-Pacs character? Annoying peon?

Same it's a kliq at my job they run the place and make everyone else miserable that's why people are leaving

@@shaquilleburton1611 bro straight upper cut one of em

Who exactly did they “bury” that was actually any good and should’ve been pushed?

@@SpaceGhost92 Bam Bam, Vader, Owen Hart. The people they then buried (or tried to bury) after they split, Jericho, the Rock, in many ways CM Punk. And those are the only ones that could have been (or were) main eventers.

They were a bunch of backstabbers and abused their power and got away with it and didn’t care anybody but themselves.

Same happened with Cena

And hbk lost smile ended being the match were Austin truly became megastar

Stone cold benefited from their unprofessional antics twice

scsa is one of the only silver linings in the kliq's bs

?????? wtf is someone inside my account I don't remember typing this (I'm not into wrestling)

@@djtrankilo231 The Kliq were pretty much gone by The Attitude Era.

​@@kazallroberts Not really, when Kevin and Scott went to WCW, it split into kliq north and kliq south.

@@stevejamieson8468 What?

@@Rockhound6165I was around in the 90s. I get that it was fashionable to misspell common words, and substitute letters to appear hip and edgy. It looked stupid then, and still does.

well he was not a unheard wrestler by that point has he was in the company for a few months under different gimmicks i think he was just the kid or the lighting kid when he beat Razor and that's how he got the 1-2-3 Kid Gimmick

He's a bottom feeding worm.

Me lookin up to my uncles vs my dad. 😂

If your heroes were Mick Foley or The Rock I would say you are safe. They seem to have no blemishes on there record. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anybody has a bad word to say about those 2.

@@Tafeafc 2012 John Cena would say a lot of bad things about the rock😂😂 lmao no but you’re right man both legends in and out of the ring!

Yeah ya can as furthering a horrible business culture will just ensure that only the most shitty people succeed in the business.

yep he's literally just booking his boys strong proof of this is everything he's done with seth rollins who's this generations triple h a brown noser to the higher ups and a guy who carries certain people's bags.

Brett made his career building other wrestlers up while Shawn spent the majority of his tearing wrestlers careers apart lol

Lol he had the Hart Foundation.

@@Sammy_X7 hart foundation didn't have the same power back stage as the kliq you idiot. The kliq ran back stage and buried many wrestlers. you have no clue about wwe history! did you even see the video? Or did you just go straight to the comments?

​@@Sammy_X7 Exactly.

Bam Bam was a great heel his downfall was when Vince turned him face and Vader was never gunner be the guy, Vince never pushed something that was not his own creation

To be fair: around that time he became champion, WCW started the NWO angle. Imo it would have been hard for everyone to compete against Hogan, Hall and Nash, especially when you on the other hand are painted as a boring old fashioned baby face

No one was drawing shlt in '95-'96. Not even Hogan, Savage, Flair in WCW... HBK didn't get a World Title run until '96 at WM. I admit his babyface persona sucked, but his run in '97 into early '98 was some of the best heel work ever... The fans loved him when he returned in 2002. He was still doing the 80's rocker type schtick for the rest of his career and fans were still behind him. The height of Grunge in '95-'96? The Grunge trend had died out by 1995. So out of touch.

​@@romibodoni No. I'm a Kliq Chick. So I have love for HBK. But I can't defend a lie. HBK had a 4 month headstart as champion before the nWo even formed...

​@@butchvito Grunge was big 96-99.

​@B P nah grunge was still popular in 96, 97. Michaels could get away with the 1990 Rockstar look because he was charismatic, and women liked him. I think the rocker look fit dx way better than a grunge look would've. Ravens Flock did the grunge thing, anyway.

Bret the legend helped Rock and Steve, then they got so over and became legends themselves, and those two he helped created their best rivalries in WWE history

@Tert Made Yup. Wish HBK and Rock had some matches, but you know... egos.

They are respected, tho, maybe not as every day, people, but at least what they've done inside the ring. And Vince deserves every bit of blame himself. How do you let 2, let alone 5 people run your company before you do? No excuses on their part, but when you're the boss, you're supposed to call the shots. Not your guys.

All except Austin. He was the biggest backstage politician who never put anyone over cleanly. He also beat his wife and got away with it.

@@syedbadshah12345 Where you get this info?

Have another one

I think some of us have just kind of see through the bullshit. “Oh, they got guys fired.” OK who? We’ve had 30 years of shoot interviews and nobody can honestly say that they were fired because of them. Shane Douglas loves making them look bad, but what Shane leaves out of his interviews are the times that guys like yokozuna and undertaker cussed him out in front of the locker room for not performing at a WWF standard. He doesn’t bring that up because then it doesn’t look like the Kliq is picking on him. It looks like well. Yeah they had a problem with him, but so did everyone else that had to work with him.

Maybe... A certain cult of personality?

​​@@bdr113080 thank you, that REALLY needed to be said. Lol this vid was SO tilted, and I can't believe how many on here are replying with complete word for word belief of everything on here. Btw I love Hitman Hart but please tell me someone he HASN'T criticized or blamed from that time for everything that happened despite the fact he did pretty well for himself spot and title wise. And throwing all that suicide attempt stuff of Candido's on them is simply irresponsible reporting. Candido wasn't exactly being loyal himself and as good a talent as he was no one was gonna make that bodydonnas gimmick work, a gimmick WWE forced on him not the Kliq. His depression had a lot to do with that along with the explosive relationship he was in where there weren't any angels. It was a poisonous coupling that needed to be ended but neither would. He had zero problem banking off of the attention Sunny brought to them either. The point that he knew about the Michaels vacation and the rest yet still kept her still stands. The Kliq weren't angels and they made plenty of bad decisions but they did alotta important stuff too. The paychecks the boys make these days are heavily influenced by actions the Kliq made. It was them who would tell each other what they were getting each night so they found out how Shawn would make 30 for a run in during a match between Hall and Nash where they made 15 each. See the WWE and every other territory used to take bigtime advantage of the secrecy about money made and the paranoia running among the talents because of it. Nothing about that on here of course though because the guy had an angle he was pushing, not an interest in truth or the whole picture. This is the first vid I've watched on this channel and Christ I can see why. How about putting names on some of them quotes you put up on the screen too... Stick a name to it or don't quote it.

​@@bdr113080 I never heard that about Undertaker. Hahaha. When did that happen?

"If you can't have a good match with Kid (X-Pac), you can't have a good match with anybody." - Vince McMahon & Kevin Nash

Very underrated he was up there with Shawn, Bret, & Owen

He had his own personal demons. I'm not defending what he done but he had ptsd from having to shoot a man with his own gun for his self defense. He was the most talented wrestler out of the entire kliq and his work was amazing. Bad guy but really good wrestler

​@@HKBrevanSean Waltman destroyed people's luggage, but Shawn Michaels destroyed people's lives..

It's ironic because he was the definition of vanilla in the ring. He barely had any moves and was so lazy that he'd do everything he could to get out of wrestling, yet still thought he deserved to take the title off of Goldberg when he didn't even need it.

Probably Shawn used his clout to have Chris work a northern tour while he assumed Sunny and Shawn were working the southern tour but they were really on their own. It's not too hard to see how that scenario would play out as the wrestling thrived on house shows back then so a company as large as the WWE had up to 3 and even 4 groups of wrestlers working a specific set of cities and towns before shuffling the deck a bit and meeting back up at the TV taping or ppv. How it used to go was a few from group A would join B, some from B would join C and C and D would join the rest of A. So sonny could have been bragging about it and sharing pictures in the locker room down in Miami while Chris was in a whole nother Locker room in some small town in Arkansas

@@emanuelmartinez7267 I understand the logistical side of it. What i find hard to understand is with how open sunny was about sleeping around.. there is no way at least a handful of people didn't call chris/or told him in person about all of that bullshit. Yet, he allowed her to keep disrespect him to the point of leaving suicide notes. So he did know abou it. I cant comprehend why he didn't kick her to the curb.

@@Ims51 Pride. Pride is the reason and perhaps the ultimate factor on why he kept Sunny despite her casually messing around with other wrestlers in higher status than him. Sunny was fine as hell, she had a sexual appeal that rivaled and perhaps even topped most adult film stars and Chris was able to call her for his own. Could he have been a simp for putting up with it, certainly though I would have to say that he was unwilling to let go the one woman who was the hottest chick in the game.

@@Ims51 could be a similar situation to John Morrison and Melina, dude was a cuck in the purest sense of the word and as someone in a mutually agreed upon open relationship I'm definitely not kink shaming. John wasn't a guy that got off on watching his girl bang other people, by all accounts he just didn't say or do anything because he loved her so much. Some in the back would jokingly say Melina either had some serious dirt on him or she must have saved his life before because no one could figure out how such a nice and humble like johnny stayed loyal to a bitchy woman (at least in her younger days) like Melina who openly cheated on him with ALL of his co-workers. Seriously everyone said she was terrible for him and eventually lead to both of them getting let go because every time Melina was unhappy with her push or an angle she made Johnny back her up at the detriment to his own push, he was well liked in the back and management saw him as a great upper mid carder. At least he's doing much better and his relationship didn't kill his career like it did with Chris, guess things went different ways because sunny left Chris making him feel like all that sacrifice was for nothing, John finally saw Melina was no good for him and kicked her to the curb

@@emanuelmartinez7267 thats actually a perfect comparison. Even if morrison was a cuck in every sense of the word, at the end of the day he said fuck it, and was done with her. Candido just couldn't help himself until he died.

Na Scott Hall wasn't as bad as you put it He didn't mind putting anyone over it's just his personal demons that got the better of him

I don't think so,they have no history together and Bsk were just a group made to chill and spend time with friends outside WWF...not ruin others careers

​@@DodumBhai1996 Kliq was the same. They didn't ruin careers either.

@@Speedyreedy1218 running a whole company by their own choice somehow destroys others career,and their choices didn't even benefitted anyone anyways

@@DodumBhai1996 They didn't run a whole company by their own choice. Neither did they destroy careers.

I won't dispute anything you've said as that is a fool's errand. I can appreciate the work the professional wrestlers put it though I despise the industry due to it's notorious politicking and if anyone wants to dispute that fact all they have to do is look at the samoan jackasses that vinny kenny mcminnie's house of big sweaty men props up as the greatest ever.

this is what happens when there is no real competition in the ring those who are most successful are not always those who deserve it most.

It's one thing to put people on but another to get people fired/to quit.

you realize hall helped a ton of peoples careers right? He helped get DDP over, he came up with stings crow gimmick. He had a great mind for the business and put people over. Notice how he never had a world title? He was a good guy plagued by his past.

@@grumpywolfgaming He was returning the favor. DDP got him over. He wasn't getting a lot of traction as Coyote or as Hennig's part. When ddp made him the Diamond Studd character, that was the spark for Razor Ramon.

He was offered, but the schedule conflicted with his Olive Garden schedule...

Their power and influence and the fact that Nash Hall and HHH are really big men, they had the Heavyweight champ,
