In 1996, Diesel wrestled Shawn Michaels in a house show at Madison Square Garden. Earlier in the night, Razor Ramon took on Triple H. After the main event was done and dusted with, Razor Ramon and Triple H came down to the ring. In one of the most iconic visuals in wrestling history, the Kliq embraced in the middle of the ring, breaking kayfabe and confusing several fans in the process.
Vince McMahon was reportedly furious at this display and needed a scapegoat to take the punishment. WWE Wrestlers Diesel and Ramon were leaving WWE immediately after the incident, and Michaels was the WWE Champion. Vince ended up punishing Triple H and canceling his push. The Game was going to win the King of the Ring tournament that year, but Stone Cold ended up becoming the victor, resulting in one of the most legendary WWE careers of all time.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
