I just finish watching the Scott Hall shoot video and the outsider one. This is what he said about The Kliq. And what they taught HHH and kid.
Hall said when you are putting someone over you make them look like a million bucks. And make it your best match. Whether you or your opponent is going to win. Because it is "our" match.
He also said The Kliq got a bad reputation because they rather work with their friends than other people.
Hall also made some interesting points. He said Flair always does the same routine in all his matches. Because he knows it works and it gets a reaction.
You can also clearly see HHH is doing what the Kliq taught him. He put Batista over and made him a huge star. Letting him win 3 times in a row on a PPV. Triple H does put people over, but only people he likes/thinks can become a big star. That is probably why he didn't give booker t the belt.

I have heard all about this time and time again.
When the Kliq decides to put someone over they do put them over well. What I think the bad "rap" is on the Kliq is that the reasons they select who they select to put over is often said to be because they are friends, rather than choosing who is actually most talented to put over.
That's just what people say.

That's just what people say. Probably. But Hall said one night on nitro he let Jericho win (he was schedule to lose) becuase he know the fans weren't going to cheer for him. So he wanted a memorable match and let him win. |

Well, it's also worth mentioning that during this time, most of the Kliq were working with slugs or mediocre talent in the ring compared to themselves, and if they had any pride, they would put on the best match possible.
These guys were looking out for their friends and for themselves so they could earn top pay and support their families, and honestly, I don't see any problem with that.
There is a lot of bitter talent from years past that hold grudges for various reasons against the Kliq, but it's the same with any other workplace and I don't fault guys like Shawn, Hunter, Kevin or Scott for wanting the best for their careers. Sure, a lot of guys were cut off from advancing in the company, but I wouldn't place all of the blame on a group of wrestlers despite whatever political power they had at the time.
Remember, Bret Hart was offered a spot in the original Kliq (he says so himself in his autobiography), and even though he declined, he still had a tremendous amount of success on his own.

The only negative thing I can think of is that HHH, HBK, Hall and Kid are/were all great workers...Nash never was a great worker. I think as many guys as they have put over, Nash has held the same amount down

So, Triple H learned his backstage politics from Hall and Nash, who were kings of backstage politics back in the WWF and WCW.
Good to know, I suppose.

Triple H himself said on that Mania of Wrestlemania that Booker wasn't trying hard enough or something to that extent
