He’s Good: Police Perform Wellness Check On Kevin Nash After Allusions To Suicide

January 20, 2023

That could have been horrible. There are all kinds of people in the wrestling industry but at the same time they all have to deal with the same kind of things that non-wrestling people do as well. Some of those things can be terrible and incredibly difficult to face, including all kinds of tragedies. That is the case with one wrestling legend and some of his comments scared his fans so much that police got involved. Earlier this week on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash spoke about his son passing away twelve weeks ago. This included Nash talking about how “time flies when you got a gun in your mouth” and how he can do “whatever the f*** I wanna do. Long as I leave a note.” According to TMZ, this caused the Volusia County Sheriff’s office to do a wellness check on Nash. The office said that Nash seemed to be ok. Nash mentioned the situation on Twitter, saying that he was being sarcastic and using it as a coping mechanism. He also thanked fans for their worries. Nash had a heck of a c..

They’re In: Backstage Reaction To NXT Stars Working WWE Main Event

December 24, 2022

It’s something for them. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster and it can be difficult for the company to find something for all of them to do. One of the best things that WWE has done is split its roster into three different groups. This includes the NXT developmental roster, whose primary goal is to be promoted up to the main roster. Several of them have been getting a bit of a preview lately and it is going well. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Nailed It: Vince McMahon Refused To Let Kevin Nash Do Striptease Over the last several months, NXT stars have been appearing on WWE Main Event tapings. This has reportedly been done so WWE higher ups can see them in action outside of the NXT area. According to Fightful Select, WWE is happy with the buzz that the appearances have made, both for the wrestlers and NXT. There is no word on any NXT stars potentially moving up to the main roster. Some of these stars have potential. Check out some of the names who have been on Main Event: [Th..

He Nailed It: Vince McMahon Refused To Let Kevin Nash Do Striptease

December 24, 2022

That’s a different way to go. Wrestlers are very talented stars as they have to put in a lot of effort to get as far as they do in their careers. You can see when someone becomes a star in the ring, but many of them have other careers or interests as well. Now a WWE Hall of Famer is telling a story about how he was not allowed to pursue another career, at least in one instance. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s In: Kevin Owens Reveals Current WWE Contract Status And Likely Future During a recent edition of his Kliq This, WWE Hall Of Famer Kevin Nash revealed that he had read for a role in the 1995 movie Striptease. Nash said that he “nailed it” and the producers were interested in using him, but Vince McMahon would not allow him to miss that much time. The role eventually went to Ving Rhames. Nash has dabbled in acting, both before and after his in-ring career ended. Nash is talented in multiple ways.

“Don’t Tell Me You’re Tired, Shut The F*** Up”, Kevin Nash BLASTS CM Punk

September 23, 2022

Call it a generation gap? There have been all kinds of talented wrestlers in the world over the years but a lot of them have come from very different backgrounds. You can see all kinds of wrestlers with varying personalities and characteristics and some of them can not see eye to eye. That is the case with two names from different generations who seem to see things a bit differently. During a recent edition of his Kliq This podcast, former World Champion Kevin Nash talked about CM Punk’s recent comments at the AEW All Out media scrum. Nash took issue with Punk saying that he was tired and beat up. Nash mentioned that Punk is 42 years old and nine years ago mocked Nash, then 55, for still wrestling and having bad knees. Here are some of Nash’s comments, with transcription courtesy of Wrestlingnews.co: The dude didn’t wrestle for 10 fu**ing years. It’s like a ‘75 Eldorado with 102 miles on it. Motherfu**er, don’t tell me you’re tired. Shut the fu*k up. All you guys at AEW, you bunch of..

Kevin Nash Has A Great Idea For Randy Orton (It Involves Batman)

September 21, 2022

It’s an idea. Wrestlers have a weird connection with acting, as they often act in their roles as wrestlers but they are rarely seen as anything more than a wrestler in mainstream acting roles. That gives them a very niche role to fill but occasionally someone will break out with a different kind of appearance. One WWE legend has an idea about how another legend should be used. September 17 was the annual Batman Day, which prompted several discussions related to the franchise. WWE got involved by sending out a tweet asking which WWE Superstar should play Batman. Hall Of Famer Kevin Nash responded with Randy Orton, who has dabbled in acting over the years. Nash has also acted, including in the comic book movies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 and The Punisher. Pick a WWE Superstar to play Batman.#BatmanDay — WWE (@WWE) September 17, 2022 @RandyOrton — Kevin Nash (@RealKevinNash) September 18, 2022 Opinion: This is one of those things that is little more than some fun and that is nev..

WWE’s Backstage Changes Causing Major Scheduling Shifts

July 13, 2021

The changes continue. WWE is of course a wrestling company, but wrestling itself is one of the many things that they do. In addition to the actual in-ring products, the company also produces a lot of shows about wrestling, many of which can be rather well done. That is a major perk of WWE, but it has been a bit tricky to find out when we can get to see them. Now it might be a little easier to understand. The latest edition of Broken Skull Sessions featuring Kevin Nash is back on the WWE Network/Peacock schedule and will air on Sunday. This comes after the special was moved, according to PWInsider.com, due to backstage changes in WWE. The new system has rewritten a lot of previously announced plans, which have changed the release schedule. Some specials such as the Lex Luger episode of WWE Icons has been postponed until a better lead-in program can be found, which the Nexus episode of Untold is on the shelf permanently, with no word on when or if it will be released.

This kid has potential. There are very few names in the history of professional wrestling who can come close to Steve Austin. Despite having a relatively short main event run at the top of the company, Austin became one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling.

As part of NWO Week in WWE, Kevin Nash will be appearing on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions. In an effort to promote the appearance, Austin has released a promo as Hollywood Steve Austin, including NWO style presentation and graphics. Austin also uses various NWO catchphrases from different members. The interview airs on Sunday on the WWE Network and on Peacock. Austin has hosted the Broken Skull Sessions since November 2019 with episodes airing every few months. This has replaced his Steve Austin Show podcast, which ended airing new episodes in 2019.
