10 Controversial Times Wrestlers Went Off-Script

10. The Curtain Call

Better to start with the obvious before delving into the lesser covered instances of wrestlers sticking their fingers up at the man, and here is perhaps the most memorable off-script development of them all.

As both Kevin Nash and Scott Hall had decided to call it a day within Vince McMahon's company after their last showing at MSG for WWE in May 1996, fellow Kliq buddies Triple H and Shawn Michaels decided to share a moment with the pair in the squared circle. The four stars all proceeded to hug and play up to those in attendance. The only problem was that these particular characters were a mash-up of heels and faces, thoroughly breaking "kayfabe" by having them all come together for one last farewell.

The response to this unprecedented act was controversial to say the least. But with Nash and Hall out of here and HBK seen as the company's golden boy, it was only The Game who was left feeling the wrath of the boss, losing his expected 1996 King of the Ring victory due to the act. Saying that, he did still win the Intercontinental Championship five months later, so it wasn't a complete death sentence.
