#3 The Curtain Call

One of the most infamous moments in pro wrestling history was a moment known as The Curtain Call. It involved a group of Superstars known as The Kliq and it took place at Madison Square Garden.

Despite being enemies on screen, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash went to the ring to say farewell to the latter two of those names who were about to leave for WCW. In the eyes of most of their peers, that was an absolute no-no and they had broken a sacred bond by revealing the truth about the business to the fans.

Someone had to be punished for the event, and that someone wound up being The Game. Hall and Nash had gone; Shawn was one of the top guys in WWE; Triple H was the only real option when it came to someone taking the wrap. Obviously, he managed to overcome that eventually.
