Is there still a place for Kevin Nash in modern wrestling...

[Guest belushiknuxx]

if so what role would you think and try and hold back the quad jokes lmao - btw thank you guys for relying to my threads i hope you enjoy them if not tell me to stop haha i wont take offence

[Guest Jamster26]

I'd say no. I did enjoy the Punk / Nash feud though, mainly due to Punk taking the piss out of him.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

No, he's f**ked

[Guest belushiknuxx]

true, i think if his ego was out the way way he'd be a fantastic creative or "booker" but his head is way too big, he does kinda have his finger on the pulse but just blinded by the past in my opinion, i do enjoy listning to his interviews

[Guest Ciaran The King]

For Nash's booking see WCW

[King 277]

He would be a great mouth piece for someone, I always liked Nash, shit in the ring but great on the mic.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

He could still play the heavy for someone

[Guest Ciaran The King]

The NWO was his golden hour and he basically lived off that ever since

The only thing with Nash I can genuinely say I enjoyed was his run as Dr. Nash in TNA with the old X-Division guys. Some of those skits were straight up hilarious!

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Was that with Austin Aries??

I think it's hilarious that when someone says Kevin Nash the first thing that comes into my head is "shut the front door" followed by tearing quads.

[dsrchris 190]

It was indeed, it also featured Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Low-Ki, Johnny Devine, Sonjay Dutt (on the JUICE!), and the beginnings of Jay Lethal doing his Black Machismo gimmick. It was basically Kevin Nash attempting to give the X-Division wrestlers a bit of character and personality.

 

It's just hearing Nash talk about being the original X-Division innovator in the 90's and how he invented the 450 splash and stuff, while sat in a doctor's coat smoking a pipe. You should go check out the entirety of the PCS if you haven't had the pleasure of seeing it before.

"So Jay...have you ever actually administered a Lethal Injection?" :lol

Jay Lethal: "Why do I have to go first?"

 

Nash: "Because you're black."

I could watch this all day.

I actually remember watching TNA during that time, seems like a lifetime ago now

[dsrchris 190]

What, you mean back when it was good and interesting? Yeah, it really does seem like a lifetime ago.

 

I was watching the DVD the other day of the lead up to Unbreakable, where Joe was carrying the bloody towel round with him. Just so much good stuff was happening in that company back in the day. Which makes it's current descent into dross so much more irritating.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Yes I am referring to that forgotten era in TNA's history before they believed they were as big as WWE.

 

You van only imagine what idea got into their heads about them being a big promotion, if only they had taken small steps they could still be vibrant now. I think bringing Impact on the road was their single biggest mistake

[dsrchris 190]

I think everything since 2005-2006 has been a mistake.

 

For me, the main one was their dependence on old WWE talent.

 

Christian Cage? Okay, I'll allow it.

 

Kurt Angle? Sure, that's a bit of a scoop for your company.

 

And then the floodgates opened...

[Guest Ciaran The King]

One thing I hated was the Main Event Mafia, it was so lame and just a rip-off of Evolution/Horseman but done badly

[Guest The Beltster]

I think there's a place for Nash sure, why not? He was a huge star during one of the peaks of wrestling, he still looks pretty much the same, he's no worse in the ring because he was never much cop post-Diesel run. His place is on the pre and post RAW and PPV shows talking about the matches, throw him in the occasional Rumble and have an up-and-comer eliminate him. Use him as a talking head on DVD's. A mouth piece for a stable. I mean, you can always find something for guys who are or were big names to do, doesn't need to be in the ring all the time. He definitely has a place, its just using him wisely thats all. Same goes for anybody.

[dsrchris 190]

I'd really love to see them bring him in for a similar role to those TNA videos. Maybe have him coach a group of NXT rookies as Dr Nash or something? I'd love a rework of the PCS, but I dunno if WWE would allow it?

[etz 78]

I agree with Belty, that's pretty much exactly what they need to do with him. Also, not everyone can be a Paul Heyman guy, so having a couple of older wrestlers who are still decent on the stick in the mix may not be a bad idea either.

[Guest Edgehead]

I wouldn't mind having Nash around. He was never much good in the ring but I always liked his gimmick as both Diesel and Kevin Nash & he was a huge part of WCW when they were kicking WWF's ass

[Guest straight3dge]

I don't particularly want to see Kevin Nash on a weekly basis on Raw or Smackdown but, I'd very much enjoy one off appearances like at the Royal Rumble or any Battle royal for that matter. I don't know whether you'd count this but I'd personally love to see Kevin Nash in legends house, he alone would make it worth watching.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

The one thing about Nash nowadays is that he can tell a cracking story, listening to shoot interviews and podcasts is a real treat

[Guest pheadley]

as a general manager on a huge power trip. think it would work especially with his rep as a backstage politican.
