Although Kevin Nash is commonly remembered as one of the vital intimidating characters in skilled wrestling history, being a tall powerhouse can often include its challenges, and through a recent edition of “Kliq This,” the NWO legend opened up a couple of future WWE Hall Of Famer that questioned his ability contained in the ropes.
Nash claimed that he didn’t think selling for smaller wrestlers was a superb idea, as he thought it made him look weaker within the ring because of his size. Nonetheless, he noticed that almost all talent would never share the identical mindset, and were only concerned about getting in as much offence as possible in the course of the match, despite being the under-sized performer. This led the previous WWE Champion to reflect on a conversation he had with Chris Jericho while they were wrestling against one another one night, explaining that “Y2J” felt he was harder to work with than one other big performer on the roster.
“I remember one time Jericho told me, he said, ‘You realize, Kane’s way higher than you’re because…,’ and I finished him. I said, ‘Because he’ll allow you to do all that s**t that I won’t.’ And he said, ‘Yeah.’ And I said, ‘Doesn’t make him a greater employee.’ I said, I just protect myself more.”
Nash reiterated that “it looks silly” to have a smaller wrestler get an equal amount of offence as him during a match, and would often refuse to be viewed because the weaker talent.
