- The Kliq (sometimes spelled as Clique) was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation of the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all booking power (the power to make matches and determine storylines), and were accused of refusing to put over (elevate, usually by losing a match) anyone outside the group. The group was made up of the following members:
* Michael Hickenbottom (Shawn Michaels)
* Kevin Nash (Diesel)
* Scott Hall (Razor Ramon)
* Paul Levesque (Triple H)
* Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac/Syxx)

| abstract | - The Kliq (sometimes spelled as Clique) was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation of the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all booking power (the power to make matches and determine storylines), and were accused of refusing to put over (elevate, usually by losing a match) anyone outside the group. The group was made up of the following members:
* Michael Hickenbottom (Shawn Michaels)
* Kevin Nash (Diesel)
* Scott Hall (Razor Ramon)
* Paul Levesque (Triple H)
* Sean Waltman (1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac/Syxx) The five were best friends in real life; most of them remain close friends today. Other wrestlers were on the fringes of the Kliq from time to time—most notably Aldo Montoya, now better known as Justin Credible,— but the core group remained the same. After Nash and Hall left WWF for WCW, Michaels and Triple H formed the nucleus of D-Generation X with Chyna and Rick Rude, while Nash and Hall would form the nWo with Hulk Hogan. Some fans use the terms Clique and Kliq interchangeably. "Kliq" was originally used by the WWF to describe Shawn Michaels' fanbase at one period in 1996. It is widely believed that "Kliq" was a nod to smarks who knew of the existence of the Kliq. On the independent circuit, Scott Hall would have the word "KLIQ" on the back of his trunks.
