If it wasn't for the Kliq, Bret would have never gotten screwed. If Bret didn't get screwed, Vince wouldn't have become one of wrestling's top heels. If Vince wasn't a top heel, Stone Cold would have an evil boss to play against as an everyman. Is Stone Cold wasn't an everyman, he would have been booked as a superman face, and we would have hated him the way we hate Cena, Lashley, and Batista.

Every watershed moment in wrestling has involed the Kliq in more than a passing way. So while I might be a Nash mark, and defend him blindly, the Kliq, for better or worse is one of the most import groups in modern wrestling history.
I don't think that is actually the case. Sure, they did bring us the nWo and DX, but I don't think you can connect them to Steve Austin's success. Bret getting screwed had more to do with Vince McMahon than Shawn Michaels. If Bret was staying, Hart would have made Michaels tap out like a little bitch.

I doubt we'd have seen "Super Steve." His character was always self-powered. Today we might have seen a Super Steve, but not back when wrestlers had a measure of control over themselves.
