Kevin Nash Talks About Wrestlers Of Today And Criticizes Them
In early 1996 he joined WCW along with his real life friend Razor Ramon aka Scott Hall. Together they formed a tag team called the Outsiders. Later Hulk Hogan joint their team and they started to be known as the New World Order nWo. This stable turned out to be the biggest reason behind the success of WCW during that time. The stable also considered as one of the best stables in the history of professional wrestling.
After the death of WCW he transitioned to WWE along with his New World Order partners but his WWE return was cut short due to an injury. He went to TNA Wrestling after that and had an impressive career. In 2015 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and in 2020 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame once again as a member of the nWo.
Kevin Nash who is the former five times WCW World Heavyweight champion and a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on his Kliq podcast where he talked about the wrestlers of current generation and criticized them. He said that they cannot even throw a punch. He said;
“The thing that I found out or realized was nobody has any heat. There’s nobody on the television show that I look at and say, ‘That person, if this was real and kicked my door down, I’d be like, oh f***.’ They’re athletic but they don’t look like they can even throw a f***ing punch.”
“I realize now that both companies do it when they go to commercial break, the action is in a small box. And I actually enjoy that more because they’re going so f***ing fast on a large screen TV, you’re like, ‘Slow the f*** down!’ It’s too just too fast, nobody sells sh**.”
“How you view wrestling evolves as you become a bigger fan. When I was in school, I saw Juvie do a 450 splash and I was like that’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen! Now it’s watching Jerry Lawler punching someone in the face is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.”
