Why WWE Needs To Hire The ENTIRE Kliq For NXT

Syxx Hall Nash Big Show

The Kliq's Hall Of Fame inductions have told the tragedy-to-triumph story well. When Shawn Michaels went in in 2011, Scott Hall couldn't even be around the festivities due to his alcoholism. By the time Kevin Nash got the call in 2015, the band were back together after 'Razor Ramon's own induction the prior year.

Since then, Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman has cleaned up completely too. The former 'Kid' shares his wealth of knowledge and experience to 454,000 fortunate Twitter followers and the listeners of his 12360 podcast. WWE have locked down half of the world's talent just for exclusivity's sake - they're insane not to do the same with the original masked magician of the wrestling industry.

Nash's suave and effortless charisma reflects the type of nuanced skillset missing amongst the Seth Rollins' and Baron Corbins of today. The fault doesn't lie with the wrestlers but with the micromanagement of their every move once they graduate from developmental. 'Big Sexy' may not spend a lot of time in the Performance Center's cushioned stunt ring, but there would be few wiser heads to help the talent understand how to sneak through their smartest sides in spite of the author's heavy hand.

Scott Hall understood others as well - or better than - himself no matter how much he was on the wind-up. The same man that used to banter off worried midcarders by promising to kick out of their finishers was also the one that came up with 'The Crow' for Sting, the all-important cool factor honed by New World Order and Razor Ramon for himself. Some of the slightly aimless NXT midcarders stumbling out of the PC's Promo Class could do worse than ask 'The Bad Guy' what their motivation really is. He's likely got more knowledge stored on the tip of a licked toothpick than some of the newbies do in their bumped and battered bonces.
