Mic work/promos: 6
When he started out as Diesel in the WWE, he was AWFUL. When he went to WCW, he got better but still was . He was above average but he had his moments. But he used so many insider terms so he must be cool.
Personality/gimmicks: 7
He definitely found his niche in WCW but constantly breaking the 4th wall got corny pretty quickly. Russo is partly to blame but Nash did that even when Russo wasn't around. Nash had some pretty good comedic moments and had great chemistry with Scott Hall.
Ring work (along with some of your favorite matches/feuds): 4
His only "great" matches were with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in their prime. at people saying that he could go in the ring. Nash has even admitted himself that he takes an apathetic approach to many of his matches. He's a businessman, he's not trying to be lyrical.
Overall rating (which doesn't have to be an average of the above scores): 6
When people talk about guys who were marks for themselves, Nash is extremely high on the list. He's the perfect example of how being friends with the right people and having the right "look" can elevate your career to ridiculous levels. Being friends with Shawn Michaels and working with Hogan during his legendary heel turn are some examples.
We also can't forget his ridiculous comments about "midgets" and putting down great wrestlers like Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero. As Diesel, he will always be known as the worst WWE Champion in history. Once WCW closed down, he was phoning it in more than usual in his subsequent WWE runs and TNA. Nash would be considered more of a great businessman than a great wrestler.
