– Drew McIntyre posted the following photo on his Twitter account. The photo shows him at the WWE Performance Center next to the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic trophy.

Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard recently did a report on the 10 best revelations from One Night With the Kliq during WrestleMania weekend. Here is an excerpt where Scott Hall discusses the origin of The Kliq:

The actual origin of The Kliq was detailed by Scott Hall: “The Kliq was born in Kansas City, and nothing happens in Missouri. It was brutal. There was TV every week, and that’s when I first crossed paths with Shawn Michaels in 1985. Now I’m a big, jacked-up, muscle-head, and I didn’t know anything, but the business was changing. The business was going with guys who looked a certain way, and me and Kevin [Nash] can say amen to that, because that’s how we got paid all the time. Here comes Shawn Michaels, and we were going from Kansas City to Des Moines.

“Shawn had been doing jobs, putting guys over that he’s been doing the match to—he’s reminding them, ‘OK, now hit me with your finish; face the hard camera; look like a big star!’ He was doing that stuff then. When I got in the car with him, he broke it down for me, ‘Hey, you big muscle head, I’ll keep it real simple—you make the other guy look good, then you get a little heat on; then you do the finish the office gives you and then you get back in the car, and let’s go.’ So thank you, Shawn, for 1985 when we first met.”

– After Buzz TV released the latest episode of the X-Pac 12360 podcast, which you can watch the video for below. Comedian Ron Funches is also featured. The show also recapped One Night With the Kliq. Below are also some excerpts from the show (via Wrestlezone.com) where the Kliq members reveal who they’d like to face from WWE’s current roster:

X-Pac: “I’m a big fan of Shinsuke Nakamura. Maybe back in my prime. I wouldn’t want to get anywhere near a ring he was in now…” and “…the guy my mouth would be watering over would be Braun Stroman.”

Kevin Nash: “I’d like to do the David and Goliath with Finn Balor.”

Scott Hall: “In my prime, I’d like to square up with Kevin Owens.”

Shawn Michaels: “Everybody’s heard mine, there’s a list of guys, AJ (Styles), Seth (Rollins), Kevin (Owens). To me, it’s all these new faces that is the whole joy of the stuff… I could do new and innovative stuff with each and every one of them.”
