events in wrestling Kevin Nash would CLAIM he had some involvement in

[jadillac]

This dude seems to have a personal story of involvement about every situation in wrestling the past 30 years.


Nash: "Yeah, I remember when Ron Simmons won the world title. They were having a backstage booking meeting and Bill Watts & those guys were wrapping up and they'd decided to keep the belt on Vader. As they were walking outta the office, they saw me...and Watts said, "hey kid, what do you think about the finish we've got drawn up for Vader to retain" And I straight-up told him, 'Hey man, if you wanna draw money....put the belt on Ron'.

So yeah, it was really my call to crown the first black world champ. And to this day, I've never told Ron that him winning the title was basically my decision, but it was."

Youshoot guy: Yeah hogan struggled on that slam a little
Nash: Nah he got him up clean i mean the entire match..almost didn't happen...and we BARELY made it to the dome.
Youshoot guy: What do you mean?
Nash: I'm working security for a bunch of venues outside of detroit...worked at cobo hall..the joe....the fox..opera house...ya know...fancy wine stuff too ...and i'm working the silverdome...and this is like....summer 86...i'm at Hockey town cafe* and I see like...5-6 big guys come in. Show me some love...i let em in no problems...it was...dino bravo...savage...hulkster...brutus...piper and adrien adonis....and in the back shane mcmahon...out of nowehere while they're drinking...some bikers start messing with shane....and i swear to you...piper and adonis ran out the back ...*sips wine*...so, me, savage...now savage can go, don't let the persona fool you he can buck...me savage hogan..and bravo start whailing on these hells angels wolf guys...i throw a couple out the window, and whatnot...And thats where I got the wolfpack sign from..they were using it to tell each other to leave the bar.... This guy hit hogan in the back of the head with a chain...and I swear man he started hulking up at the bar . Terry is for real man.
Youshoot guy: wow thats a hell of a brawl
Nash: Well you get used to it growing up in the southside of detroit ...so, after the fight shane goes up to me and is like "man you can handle business...you think about being a wrestler" and i kind of blow him off but take his card...hes got the titan towers card at that time...and he asks "other than cobo was the best spot for wrestling in detroit? We're looking for a big house" and I simply say "i can get you in the silverdome if you can fill it ".
Youshoot guy: Thats a hell of a connect
Nash: well i knew the guy so it was nothin. Fast forward and they do the whole thing with mania 3...hogan andre...and andre was supposed to go over...until like...half way through the savage match...andre is gonna go over...and hogan was gonna win the belt on NBC. I go to shane and vince and say "dude, if andre wins you're not gonna make it to detroit metro " they called in hogan, andre, and bobby...and i stand over vince just in case somethin happens, and they tell andre he's gotta lay down. And thats that. after that I had vince's ear forever.

Best poker face in the business, have you believing shyt you KNOW cant be true

i actually don't remember what episode specifically it was, nor have i ever seen it again on youtube since... but i DISTINCTLY remember a promo nash gave on nitro (or was it thunder)... i wanna say maybe 98-99ish.... where he compared himself to a salesman and how the audience were nothin but customers at him... and how deep down he's just tryna get over on everybody so you could never trust him...

promo must have been good because i still remember it to this day.

if someone knows which one i'm talkin about it and could actually find a youtube link that would be great.


edit: i'm pretty sure it was right after one of his heel turns.

RF Video Shoot preview...

RF: So tell me about your relationship with Arn Anderson?

Nash: Arn and I go way back... he used to come by one of the strip bars I used to bounce, Arn loved to drink and give "cat baths" to the strippers. I was off one night and sat and drank with him and all of a sudden we start talking about religion. And as im sitting there sippin on my 1978 Mondavi Cabernet, we finally get to the book of revalations. Arn is such a smart guy, man. And were talking about everything and I mentioned how the Four Horsemen would be a great name for a group of wrestlers. Come to think of it I think I had the same conversation with Stan Lee before that...
Lo and behold a few weeks later im watching TV and I see Arn with Ole, Tully and Ric calling themselves the Four Horsemen

Fast Forward. .

RF: You're kidding!

Nash: No im serious. It was 1983. Vince called me and said, "Well I got this gimmick. The All American Kevin Nash. Nashamania running wild!" I told him that I cant be that guy. Im better suited as a heel. In fact name me Diesel. But you know what? I lnow a guy who might make it work. His name is Terry...


Fast Forward...

Nash: So they got Haku hemmed up in the corner, and im sitting there with Scott, Buff and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders who happened are getting scared. So I got up, bottle of Yellow Tail in hand and broke it on the counter and said "Hey! Leave the man alone if you know whats good for you!" And the guys turned around and said "OMG youre Super Shredder!" And asked for autographs. Next thing I know theres another Ninja Turtle movie coming out.

Nash: Yeah, so like I said, I had Vince’s ear after WM III….& fast forward a few years later to the early 90’s and I’m in WCW working as Vinnie Vegas, which just to give a little background…..that character was based on my life at the time. I was pretty deep in the underground mob life in Las Vegas, knew a lot of guys, making a lot of money. You know that club M-O-B you heard 2Pac talk about? Yeah, I opened that club up…I’ve got pictures at home of me and 2Pac together….I’ll have to bring them next time. But wrestling was really just a legal side hustle and a way to stay in shape after I turned down David Stern’s request for me to play in the NBA. Bischoff told me they couldn’t use the real me on TV b/c WCW was a family show, so we made it into Vinne Vegas a light-hearted caricature of the real me.


Anyway, uh so, one day Vince calls me up distressed, looking for advice like he’d do often, and says, “Hey Kevin, I’ve got this kid named Shawn Michaels and he’s in a tag-team, but I don’t know what to do w/ him beyond that.” I already knew about Shawn from his USWA days, I picked him to be a future star in this business. He just needed the proper booking from someone who knew the business. Long story short, it took me all 30 secs to write up the barber-shop scenario w/ Beefcake, Janetty, and Shawn, & then I called Vince and explained it to him verbatim over the phone. His mind was blown. Everything you saw in that segment was 100% my doing.


That’s the reason why when I got to WWF officially a few years later, I was immediately over. I knew the system, b/c I had been booking it already.


And when I met Shawn the first time, we hit it off. I explained to him that it was my idea for him to throw Marty through the window and start that feud. And from them on, he felt forever in-debted to me. That’s why we went w/ the whole bodyguard angle and then later Shawn agreed to drop the belt to me. And I’ve told Shawn this to his face, and I’ll say it here, he knows that if it wasn’t for me, he would’ve never had the opportunity to get the belt.

Rob Feinstein: You were pretty important to early RAW successes...
Nash: yeah i mean...between us...bam bam...savage was still around on the mic...we were the show man. We were that deal . Plus without us there would BE no Monday Night RAW.
RF: Not on the level it succeeded thats for sure.
Nash: Nah not at all...if not for the kliq, they wouldn'tve pitched Raw to USA...it was our idea
RF: what do you mean?
Nash: Alright so its me...kid...shawn...Razor...we're in the room with..i think terry taylor...whats his name...Dunn...And big man. Vince. And we're just talking about whats next...we knew the saturday main event spot by wcw was a success so we wanted to avoid that day...and we new that we needed to be different.
RF: To differentiate yourself from WCW?
Nash: Right. So, Terry Taylor is talking about doing rodeos and stuff...just real clown stuff...and Dunn wanted more athletes, that was the Lawrence Taylor thing...we're talking and out of the blue I saw "Lets just keep it real..and keep it RAW." And like he saw heaven open up, vince's face lit up *nash in his VINCE voice* "BIG KEVVV!!! RAW! I LIKE IT!!!!". And Kid was like "call USA now! tell em we got it." Dunn didn't want to, but he knew that we had vince's ear and he was on thin ice, so he went along with it. Terry Taylor said it was too much of a risk going to Mondays because it wasn't a proven day. He knew to sit down though because I was gonna lay him out again if he spoke up.
RF: Again?
Nash: *hesitates* well Terry didn't want to go along with the whole Red Rooster deal, and vince had me convince him it was a good idea . We called him the red rooster because he was a chicken and he would swell up when I smacked him in the face.
RF: Did you suggest going live?
Nash: Going live was HBK's idea, so the four of us could shoot whenever we wanted to "
RF: So Monday Night Raw was all the Kliq's idea?
Nash: Down to the name. And Razor suggested we start out in our hottest market New York, and grow from there. If Vince would've paid us WCW would've never beat em in the ratings. In fact they didn't lead until the day we left .
