The list of stories Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash share together could fill an entire volume of books. Friends for over 20 years, the trio have been through a lot together, but have also looked out for one another during their respective careers. Outside of wrestling, they have grown closer as a result.

Working together in the WWF, all three eventually found themselves employed by WCW. Waltman didn't stay for as long as his buddies, but he did recall one previously-unknown incident during an appearance on The Tomorrow Show. The ordeal also featured WCW's then-head honcho, Eric Bischoff.

Waltman said that Bischoff tried to discuss something with Hall and Nash, but the duo didn't like what they were hearing. To remedy the situation, they decided to push their boss into a nearby cupboard and jam the door shut. Meanwhile, there was absolutely nothing an incredulous Bischoff could do about it.

This must have happened at some point between 1996-1997, which was when Waltman was with his friends in the company.
