The Insiders were a professional wrestling tag team in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) comprised of Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash.
[edit] History
Diamond Dallas Page and Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash) formed a tag team in WCW in 1992 called The Vegas Connection. It was short-lived as they split when Page was injured after teaming for only 5 months.
In late 2000, DDP and Nash reformed their team and called themselves The Insiders, a play on Nash's team with Scott Hall, The Outsiders, and the reportedly close friendships each man had with WCW officials, particularly Eric Bischoff. They feuded with Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo and won the WCW World Tag Team Championship at WCW Mayhem on November 26, 2000. Shortly after, they were stripped of the titles by Commissioner Mike Sanders in mid-December. Weeks later, they won the titles back at Starrcade 2000. By February 2001, the team had split up again, and the company was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation the following month.
In 2005, Page and Nash teamed together in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling to battle Jeff Jarrett and his cronies.
