10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Should Never Have Split
6. The Outsiders
The very nature of the way in which Scott Hall and Kevin Nash landed back on WCW television in the Summer of 1996 should have kept them together forever. A renegade alliance between two men fans knew were genuine friends away from the ring, The Outsiders could never realistically be written to oppose one another.
That didn't stop WCW's braintrust from trying in May, 1998 at the Slamboree pay-per-view.
During a title defence of the WCW Tag-Team Titles against Sting and The Giant, the splintered (not to mention convoluted) nWo story took another turn when Hall smashed Nash and left him for dead. Hall had joined the nWo Hollywood faction rather than sticking with Nash's Wolfpac, or at least that was the reason given on air.
It didn't pan out though, because people refused to believe that such good friends were really at loggerheads. This is one angle that should have been left on the cutting room floor, and it didn't do much other than temporarily remove one of WCW's best units from screens.
