It’s no secret that the connection between WWE Hall of Famer’s Bret Hart and Kevin Nash have not at all times been on the most effective of terms. Each have taken shots at the opposite through the years, with Hart openly criticizing Nash and the remainder of The Kliq for the way they conducted themselves backstage, while Nash has claimed that he was inspired to go away WWE for WCW over a dispute he and Hart had about their match at In Your House 6. At times, nonetheless, the 2 have also been on the identical page, agreeing on the impact of the Montreal Screwjob, and wrestlers dying at such a young age.
And while Nash might not be a fan of how things went down during his and Hart’s last major WWE match, certainly one of their earlier matches in the corporate has left Nash indebted to the “Hitman.” On the newest episode of “Kliq This,” Nash admitted that this match with Hart, which took place at King of the Ring 1994, helped him significantly as an ascending superstar.
“That King of the Ring in Baltimore was my first World Title [match],” Nash said. “I wrestled Bret Hart. And that was the primary time I got to sit down under his learning tree. And he taught me, principally, easy methods to work a foremost event match.”
While Hart walked away with the title, the match received rave reviews, and was considered a breakout performance for Nash on the time. It was also an indication of things to return for him, as just a couple of months later, Nash would defeat Bob Backlund in a matter of seconds to capture the WWE Championship, holding it for nearly a 12 months before dropping it, sarcastically enough, to Hart at Survivor Series.
