When Kevin Nash and Scott Hall left the WWF for the WCW, why did Vince McMahon try to sub two wrestlers in their places as Diesel and Razor Ramon?
The impostor Razor Ramon was an indy wrestler named Rick Bogner who had done a Razor Ramon imitation in ECW for a short time before the WWF hired him. The fake Diesel was Glenn Jacobs who used to work as Dr. Isaac Yankem, and of course now wrestles as Kane. The angle was part of an attempted Jim Ross heel turn. The new characters were introduced around the same time the WWF filed a lawsuit against WCW for stealing the Diesel and Razor Ramon characters. They said Nash and Hall’s WCW persona too closely resembled the likeness of the WWF-created characters, which were trademarked by the WWF. McMahon may have been trying to prove a legal point that it is important when a wrestler leaves the WWF that they drop their persona because personas are not the property of the wrestler, they are property of the WWF, which may want to continue using the character. I have always been a fan of every wrestler in the Clique. Could you please give me some insight or stories on what exactly the Clique did
