when I started watching WCW Kevin Nash was easily one of my favorite wrestlers, I was young as hell so of course I didn't know or care about technical wrestling skill but I was drawn to his character and charisma
And come on the way he delivered that jackknife power bomb was cold as ?

i rarely if ever hear any positives when it comes to Kevin Nash
People usually talk about how much of a ? he was but let's talk about him as an entertainer

    Kevin Nash had his moments but I'll remember Kevin Nash for the quad tears, finger poke of doom (n/h), beating Bob Backlund in 8 seconds and of course the NWO......... I've always been more of a Scott Hall fan though.............

    The IWC are little guys jealous of really big guys like Nash and Batista who would probably take their ? and make them a cuckold.

    Nash was a cold ass ? , with almost as much swag as the common brother in Amurica (mainly deep inside I think Nash wanted to be "black" if you heard his back stage stories, like ? black chicks to show you how "cool" he was, and adopting hip hop music for the wolfpack, and the Tupac bandana wear... but keep his white skin and hair). Roman Reigns need to give Kevin Nash hair back too.

    I'm still taking a prime Scott hall over him tho.

    in terms of what? Nash had great mic skills, size, charisma, look, he had a great finisher, he was just broken down by the time he came BACK to WCW. Imagine being 7 feet and carrying WWF for one year night and and night out then going to WCW and doing the same. By 99 he had to be Big lazy Nash cuz his knees were done, nevermind 2006. Dude was just in for the money, and let his past accomplishments carry him. I can't blame him.

    He was actually decent in the ring when he was in WCW in the early 90s and had many great matches in the WWF from 94-til he left vs The Undertaker. if you wanna criticize his weaknesses give him credit for his strengths. Not to mention he basically showed Triple H how to be a backstage politician and manipulator.


    HBK &HHH running DX chop, Nash& Hall running nWo chop and shared Xpac between the two groups. On the Low the Kliq might be the GOAT off camera group in wrestling history... but I'm going off a tangent now /rant.

    Nash definitely had swag and a dope finish, not taking that away from him

    I liked him as Diesel but I hated how the WWE booked him in '95. He was the smiling cheesing Babyface (Vince loves booking his top faces this way) but when he turned tweener (the first one in wrestling) he became interesting again.

    His second WCW run cemented his legacy.

    Kevin Nash is a taller Triple H, take it how you like.

    As an entertainer though...I can say I enjoyed his work, particularly his heel turn in 1996 after losing the strap to Bret. It was like when Batista went all Spotlight Dave on ? in 2010 except 14 years earlier.

    He is a legend though, he got great charisma and knew how to work an audience. His title runs were horrible with the exception of his string of matches with Bret and the couple title matches with Shawn. His best match ever was Undertaker at WM 12 to me though.

    My favorite Nash moment was his mockery of Arn Anderson, that ? is CLASSIC and the fact he hurt feelings made it even funnier.

    i think Nash's mic skills are legendary... i think injuries really overshadowed whether or nor he could have been a great in ring preformer.

    I was young as ? when he had his run as diesel. So, I that made him part of the scenery. He was a big guy that had a gimmick. To me he's like that old chair you bring to every apartment you move to. You appreciate it being there but you can take it or leave it and if something else would catch your eye, you'd replace it with that in a heart beat.

    Pre NWO that is.

    Nah, he was an overrated big man. Vader, Taker, Vicious are better guys. I'd give Nash the edge over Kane though.
