One of the absolute worst ideas in living memory, Vince McMahon's decision to have Rick Bognar and Glenn Jacobs reprise the Razor Ramon and Diesel characters in late-1996 must have been a source of great amusement for the men who had played them previously. Over in WCW, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall looked on with a smile.

Exclusively on the WWE Network, Hall and Nash were interviewed this week for the Legends With JBL series. When the subject of the 'Fake' Razor and Diesel was brought up, Nash said that he and Hall were standing behind the scenes on Nitro watching Raw on a monitor.

Eric Bischoff was alongside the pair, and other officials were genuinely worried that - because Raw was a pre-taped show - they were about to see Hall and Nash waltz out on WWF programming. Naturally, Kevin and Scott knew better, but they were stunned by the sense of trepidation that had gripped WCW management.

As soon as Jim Ross introduced Bognar and Jacobs, Hall and Nash grinned before walking away. Panic over.
