Kevin Nash has offered his congratulations to Sami Zayn following the latter’s historic WWE Gold victory.
On the latest installment of Kliq This, the inaugural recorded since Zayn captured the Undisputed WWE Belt at Night of Champions, the WWE Hall of Famer spoke highly of Zayn for persevering throughout his career while remaining true to himself.
“I just wanted to personally say congratulations to Sami Zayn on becoming the World Titleholder. Furthermore, you busted your ass, you’ve endured numerous things, you’ve been told to watch your political stance. As an added layer to this, you’ve jumped through some hoops, and I’m glad that you’ve stayed in there, persevered. Additionally, and I’m happy to see you get that. And there’s a lot of people and a lot of the boys that are happy that you’ve been rewarded.”
Nash on top of that reflected on what it truly means to become a world champion in professional wrestling, describing it as the most genuine achievement the industry has to offer. “Until you become World Champion, you don’t know what it’s like to be a World Champion. And when they hand you that belt for the inaugural time, it’s as real as our sports entertainment will get.”
The previous WWE Defending champion, who captured his first world crown at Madison Square Garden, shared the championship represents the ultimate vote of confidence from a promotion.
“It’s special because we all, in some form or fashion, watched this business as kids. On a related note, it’s still the pinnacle, and even though it’s a work. So congratulations, Sami.” With that strap, belt, prize, whatever the f—- they want to call it, it signifies somebody that they trust and put in a position, whether it be a month, a week, or 10 years, to be the face of the company.
