The May 19, 1996 incident that took place at Madison Square Garden is forever etched in wrestling history as being one of the most controversial moments of all time. The main event of the show saw Shawn Michaels wrestle Kevin Nash, following which Scott Hall and Triple H joined the duo inside the ring. Triple H and Nash were heels at the time, and seeing the four Superstars hug it out in the middle of the ring was a shocker for fans who still believed that wrestling was a real sport.

Vince couldn't punish Hall and Nash, as the duo was about to leave the company. Michaels escaped punishment too, as he was the WWE Champion at the time. Triple H ended up taking the blow, and his push was halted immediately. Vince decided to push Steve Austin instead, which led to him winning the King of the Ring tournament in 1996.
