Summary
May 19, 1996 will forever be a day that changed the wrestling business forever. In a special tribute to Scott Hall, Chad welcomes special guest Mani Mohtadi to discuss the night he and his friend Jason captured the infamous "Kliq Curtain Call" at Madison Square Garden on their personal home video camera. The story behind the footage is fascinating and takes on a new life with the tragic news of "The Bad Guy's" passing but the passion and love for the WWF's New Generation is well represented and a lot of inside information about that night is covered.

| 0:00.0 | The upcoming presentation is a two-man power trip on wrestling podcast production. The President |
| 0:02.0 | I'm H. |
| 0:02.0 | H. All right. |
| 0:03.0 | Let's get it going right now. |
| 0:28.5 | This is New Generation Declassified. |
| 0:30.9 | And you're listening to an all-new, new Generation Declassified here exclusively on the two-man power trip of wrestling's podcasting Empire. |
| 0:33.4 | If you didn't know by now, my name is Chad, and every single week we go back in time and look at the new generation years of the WWF. |

| 1:01.7 | because we discussed Scott Hall as still being alive when this was recorded earlier in the |
| 1:07.0 | week. It actually was in the time they had taken him off of life support and he was still fighting |

| 1:29.3 | wrestling in many, many years. |
| 1:34.4 | I think in terms of the impact that was made on the business, I would think the last name |
| 1:36.1 | that had the impact passing away was Bruno San Martino. |
| 1:40.5 | But that is not to say that any death or any kind of loss is greater than the others. It's just in terms of the impact. And |
| 1:45.6 | on these new generation declassified airwaves, we've talked about Razor alone. We'll talk |
| 1:50.8 | about Scott Hall so fondly since this show started. And we will continue to do that, especially in this episode |
