Kevin Nash and Scott Hall have been best friends for a long time, and have followed each other whichever promotion they have featured in. Both Nash and Hall were in WCW in the early 90s, before making the switch over to WWE, where they both made a name for themselves. Nash won the WWF Championship, while Hall held the Intercontinental Championship on a number of occasions.

Both of them quit WWE in 1995, and they will be infamously remembered for the MSG incident, where along with Shawn Michales and Triple H, they embraced in the ring and broke kayfabe.

While many believe that the two quit WWE because WCW were offering a lot of money, Eric Bischoff, the man who was running WCW when the two made the switch to the company revealed that it wasn't the money but the easier schedule that led to Nash and Hall quitting WWE.

Both Nash and Hall were top stars when they quit WWE for WCW in 1995, where they won several titles. They were brought back to the WWE in 2002, while both Nash and Hall were also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
