Nash and Hall would be competing against their old employer as the Nitro television show was beginning to pick up steam, and losing Diesel and Razor was a massive blow to the WWF seeing as they were so popular. Nash and Hall were part of "The Kliq", a group of friends who were accused of using their power to keep themselves at the top of the WWF ladder. Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon were babyfaces, Diesel and Hunter Hearst Helmsley were villains (at the time of Hall and Nash's departures). This group decided they would break wrestling tradition by saying farewell to the fans in Madison Square Garden on Hall and Nash's final night in the WWF. The WWF had done a lot to protect "good guys" and "bad guys" from showing any kind of unity in the ring, the act would broke kayfabe and it would be seen as disrespectring the very foundation that wrestling was build on over decades; but inside MSG The Kliq embraced and they said goodbye to the fans. Good guys and bad guys mingled in the ring and it which was seen as very controversial by both fans and others in the WWF locker room.
