5 things you did not know about The Kliq

#1 Davey Boy Smith came up with The Kliqs name

Davey Boy Smith came up with the faction’s name

While it is true that most of the superstars backstage got unnerved due to the close association of certain members in the locker room, it wasn’t until the superstars started referring to the group as “The Kliq” that the name really stuck.

Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman used to ride together, and didn’t usually associate themselves with the rest of the locker room. When Triple H arrived in WWE, he then began riding with the faction; but the person who gave the group the name was Davey Boy Smith, although initially it was thought that it was Lex Luger who came up with it.

Davey began joking in the locker room, and started calling the group “The Kliq” due to their close association. With the superstars backstage believing that the faction had a siege mentality, the group, in an attempt to toy with the superstars started playing up those beliefs.
