Outsiders (professional wrestling)
The Outsiders were a professional wrestling tag team in World Championship Wrestling that was comprised of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
History
The Outsiders were formed in 1996 when Nash and Hall "invaded" WCW after leaving the World Wrestling Federation. They insinuated that they were still WWF employees which got them the name of The Outsiders.
They were the backbone of the nWo as they formed it with Hulk Hogan and they were always part of the various incarnations of it over the years. They stayed at the top of the tag team scene in WCW from 1996 until 1998 when the nWo split up. They teamed again in 1999 but it was brief as Hall got injured.
They next teamed in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2004 and early 2005 as part of the Kings of Wrestling but did not use The Outsiders name as it is now owned by World Wrestling Entertainment.
They are both part of the backstage wrestling group known as The Kliq.
