Behind The Curtain

6. Days Off

Shane Mcmahon Sean Waltman Shane McMahon and Sean Waltman -- better known as the 123 Kid and X-Pac -- try out some skydiving. What€™s most interesting about the above photo is the fact that Waltman apparently went skydiving in his ring gear -- kick pads, knee pads, and all.

5. The Kliq

Kliq Hhh Shawn Michaels Kevin Nash Scott Hall Sean Waltman The Kliq gave rise to both the New World Order and D-Generation X. However, prior to the inception of both groups, the Kliq was just a group of friends in the wrestling business -- arguably with some enormous backstage stroke. Triple H, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman posed for this photo together, throwing up their famous Wolfpac hand signal.

4. BSK

Bsk Bone Street Krew Undertaker Rikishi Yokozuna The Kliq wasn€™t the only backstage posse in the World Wrestling Federation during the mid-to-late €˜90s. The BSK -- Bone Street Krew -- was a rival behind-the-scenes group. Consisting of Savio Vega, Rikishi, the Godwinns, Charles Wright, Yokozuna, Paul Bearer, and led by the Undertaker, the BSK also wielded backstage influence.

3. Group Bonding
