They remained influential with different promotions, but there was a big chance to bring them together for a major storyline. After WWE’s purchase of WCW, the nWo debuted in the Stamford-based promotion in 2002.

After Hulk Hogan left the group and Scott Hall departed the company, there was still a chance to put Nash, Michaels, Triple H, and Waltman together. Nash and Waltman were already part of the new nWo, and a returning Shawn Michaels joined them soon. With HHH being the final piece of the puzzle, it appeared that Kliq would become a reality on WWE TV. However, things took a drastic turn.

Speaking on the Kliq This podcast, Hall of Famer Kevin Nash detailed what went wrong. He said that with everyone in the fold, there was a chance to do the Kliq angle, but his quadriceps injury ended any hopes.

“We got Shawn. Like, we could have maybe done something and gotten Paul to get involved with us to where that would have been, like, the Kliq angle, like finally do the Kliq angle. But I f*cked that up when I blew my leg out, because Shawn was back in the mix,” he said.

Big Daddy Cool tore his quad during a tag team match on RAW and was out of action for nine months. The match was his first after returning from his biceps injury, and he said he returned three weeks ahead of schedule.

Kevin Nash was responsible for Rey Mysterio losing his mask

At WCW Superbrawl IX in 1999, Rey Mysterio and Konnan lost a Hair vs. Mask match against Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.

Mysterio was forced to remove his mask and competed without it for the rest of his WCW career. Speaking on Kliq This, Nash revealed that he was the one who booked Mysterio to lose his mask.

Kevin Nash mentioned that WCW was doing a huge ad campaign at that time, and they wanted to feature the Master of 619 without his mask.
