Kevin Nash Interview 5.2.2011
November 17, 2011On Episode 205 of Tha O Show Radio Program (www.thaOshow.com), Big Daddy Donnie, Dan-e-o and the rest of the crew were joined by Kevin Nash. Here are a few highlights.
On the reaction he got when he hit the curtain: "I wanted to take a
steal chair and just sit in the middle of the aisle and take it all in
because I said its going to be all down hill from here. It couldn't have
been more special. Thank god I was wearing a condom".
On the
amazing reaction he got in WWE compared to lack lustre responses in TNA:
"If you're going to do dinner theatre in Poughkeepsie you're not going
to get the same response as you do on Broadway. Nothing against
Poughkeepsie".
On his business relationship with Dixie carter:
"If i had of walked into an office and went to Dixie and said this is
what i want to do and this Is what will make me happy, Dixie would have
signed off on it in 30 seconds".
On how Dixie reacted to Nash
in the Royal Rumble: "She was out of the country. I guarantee you she
was happy for my response and happy I was happy".
On waiting a
long, long time for Rey Mysterio to hit the 6-1-9: "Rey put his life in
my hands when I threw him off a trailer like a lawn dart 15 years ago.
It felt like I was paying back a buddy".
On why HHH did not
work the Rumble: "Paul had no desire at that point [to get in the ring].
He is working in the office and walking around with a clipboard. Vince
and Steph feel the company needs his mind more than his body right now.
Whenever he comes back though, it's a game changer. When i found out he
[HHH] wasn't working, I asked if it was the buddy system [not wanting to
steal pop from Booker or Nash] and that's how I took it".
On
one last run: "it's up to creative. Every guy in the business thinks
they have one last run, and the truth is, they do - if creative is in
compliance with that. I told them i'd go as hard as i can for as long as
i can until i break down".
On his newly signed WWE Legends
contract: "It has verbiage that says you are subject to wrestle. I
looked at it as, I'm making a 5 year commitment that I'm not going
anywhere else, and if i do they can't market any part of me".
On his current status: "I could go back to TNA and wrestle for them
tomorrow, they just can't put me in a video game - oh wait, they don't
have one. They couldn't do a doll, well they could. They could do a doll
[like they did before] with a likeness that Vince owns. They [TNA] put
out a doll of me with long brown hair. My contract with them said they
would market my TNA likeness. I asked Terry Taylor to show me a picture
of when I ever worked in TNA with long brown hair. Jakks said. 'sorry it
was a dye problem from China' ... you have to look at the doll. Jakks
had a 2003 Ruthless Aggression Diesel doll and they slapped a Nash logo
on it with the same Diesel head, and it was just bogus man.
About him possibly working WrestleMania: "A lot of people don't know
this but the match being discussed is Oz versus Khali, and the stip that
will kill us is ... nothing off the top. Iron Man Match. Chilean coal
miners glove on a pole match".
