In the main event on May 19, 1996, Diesel wrestled then-WWF Champion Shawn Michaels. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were appearing in their final matches as WWE superstars. The infamous “Curtain Call”: Triple H, Diesel (Kevin Nash), Shawn Michaels, and Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) hug it out at a WWE House Show in the famed Madison Square Garden, May 19, 1996. This is exactly what happened just before Kevin Nash and Scott Hall departed from the WWF on May 19, 1996. While a curtain call is an entirely acceptable form of practice in live performances, it is something that very rarely takes place in wrestling. A curtain call refers to the part at the end of a performance when actors come to the front of the stage while the audience claps to show appreciation.
