Bone Street Krew
In professional wrestling, the Bone Street Krew (BSK) was a backstage group of wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the 1990s. History The Bone Street Krew was founded by Yokozuna, who coined the name of the group, and The Undertaker. It was made up of wrestlers who were friendly with one another and shared similar interests, including playing dominoes ("bones"). Members of the group were vetted by Yokozuna and The Undertaker. Several members of the Bone Street Krew had the letters "BSK" tattooed on themselves. The Bone Street Krew was active alongside another backstage group active in the WWF at the time, the Kliq. Contrary to popular belief, there was no animosity between the two groups. In the mid-1990s, there were discussions around turning the Bone Street Krew into an onscreen stable, but this never materialised. However, four members of the Bone Street Krew teamed up as "the Darkside" at Survivor Series in 1995. The Bone Street Krew dissolved in the ...

The Kliq
The Kliq was a backstage group in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) during the mid-1990s, composed of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H. Michaels, Nash, and Hall wielded a considerable amount of power within the company at the time, which they reportedly used to positively influence one another's careers and occasionally negatively influence the careers of others. In May 1996, The Kliq broke character at a live event at Madison Square Garden in an unscripted incident referred to as the "Curtain Call", which had far-reaching ramifications for the WWF specifically and the wrestling world as a whole. At a time when professional wrestling organizations worked to maintain the illusion of storylines and characters, the Curtain Call marked the first time that such high-profile performers had so publicly broken character, forcing the WWF and other wrestling organizations to begin acknowledging the scripted elements of their programming.

Stable (professional Wrestling)
Professional wrestling has accrued a considerable amount of jargon throughout its existence. Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of carnivals and circuses. In the past, professional wrestlers used such terms in the presence of fans so as not to reveal the nature of the business. Into the 21st century, widespread discussion on the Internet has popularized these terms. Many of the terms refer to the financial aspects of professional wrestling in addition to in-ring terms.

Dominoes
Dominoes is a family of tile-based games played with gaming pieces, commonly known as dominoes. Each domino is a rectangular tile, usually with a line dividing its face into two square ''ends''. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called '' pips'' or ''dots'') or is blank. The backs of the tiles in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. The gaming pieces make up a domino set, sometimes called a ''deck'' or ''pack''. The traditional European domino set consists of 28 tiles, also known as pieces, bones, rocks, stones, men, cards or just dominoes, featuring all combinations of spot counts between zero and six. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set. Another form of entertainment using domino pieces is the practice of domino toppling. The earliest mention of dominoes is from Song dynasty China found in the text ''Former Events in Wulin'' by Zhou Mi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
