Why do the majority of the smarks detest Kevin Nash so much? Is it his self confidence & sharp tongue that rubs you the wrong way which makes some of you lash back at him with such venom? Is it honestly bc you feel he was undeserving of the amount of success he had in wrestling? Do you truly believe he killed WCW? are you mad CM Punk's contributions to wrestling pale in comparison to what Nash did?
Nash tore a quad, yadda yadda yadda...Ok, moving on. Are you going to pretend Nash wasn't a huge name & pivotal part of greatest era in pro wrestling history?
>Nash coming aboard in WCW in spring 96 was the beginning of the wrestling boom
"benefited from right time right place"
>Nash in the nWo was a huge catalyst for the ratings surge & interest peak
"it was more Hogan & Hall"
>Outsiders/nWo/Wolfpac had huge merch sales
"Well it wasn't as big as Austin's"
>Nash main evented often during the 96-99 era when Hogan was a part timer
"but Sting/Goldberg were on a lot of those shows"
>Many forget a large minority (maybe a majority) were actually pulling for Nash to end Goldberg's streak
"dumb booking move"
>Title defence 1/4/99 drew a massive house
"it was Goldberg hometown"
>Put over his fair share, what other 7 footers particularly in that era were even offering to put over cruiserweights?
"he buried them with his banana peel losses"
>very good promo, particularly from 96-2000 in WCW & later in TNA
"he only got himself over"
>Bad Blood 2003 garnered 385,000 buys (one of the years successes) as he main evented with HHH
"well Foley was the ref"
In this, the story is Nash was never a draw. That is utter fucking bullshit. Nash never gets enough credit, much like Bischoff, much like Russo, much like a bunch of guys who are part of the Axis of Evil according to dumb smarks. After every positive is excused away you have to eventually face the reality that while Nash is definitely not Hogan - Austin - Rock - level, he slots in a mere notch or two below.
