It is a walk-out that well and truly changed the course of wrestling forever. Both men gave verbal agreements to Vince McMahon that they were going to re-sign with WWE.

All of a sudden, Hall and Nash gave McMahon their notice that they were jumping ship. Hall didn't even bother telling Vince in person, informing him via fax.

The pair then showed little courtesy for the company as they pulled off the infamous “Curtain Call” incident, breaking kayfabe for the first time.

As they were already leaving the company they couldn't exactly be punished, so Triple H was basically left to eat the dirt on their behalf.

The pair were immediately pushed as the Outsiders and would soon elevate WCW to its greatest heights ever. While Vince likely isn't as upset these days, you can bet your bottom dollar that at the time he was furious over the betrayal of Hall and Nash, jumping ship from WWE to his greatest rivals.

The duo has since revealed that it was the lighter schedule and not the money on offer that really made them jump ship to WCW.
