>>17474353I don't think Kevin was an addict. He was probably the most sober of the Kliq outside of Triple H. It just seems Kevin wasn't as involved in Tristan's formative years.
Tristan was born 2 days after Kevin returned to WCW and three weeks before the NWO was formed. Kevin spent between 1996 and 2011 just mainly being involved with WCW, WWE and TNA. That's already 15 years of Tristan's life Kevin was not being directly involved with him. Add the fact Kevin had a fight with a teenage Tristan in 2014 and I can see it was officially over for Kevin and Tristan.
Bit sad that only at the end of Tristan's life that they reconciled. And even sadder that Kevin - despite knowing how alcoholism ruined his best pal Scott - should have known that going cold turkey would be detrimental to an alcoholic and should have sent Tristan to a detox facility.
KWAB and 92 memes aside, I genuinely feel sorry for Kevin because no one deserves to see their child die before them - especially their only child.
