The
Fan DC's Lavar Arrington Show with Chad Dukes conducted an interview
with Kevin Nash; during the interview Nash answered questions on the
initial confrontation between himself and Punk, if his health was an
obstacle in returning to the WWE and if we would see a reprisal of the
Punk/Nash clashes. Highlights from the interview are as follows:
On CM Punk/Kevin Nash promo:
Chad Dukes: They had the
whole thing with you where they you were being kind of disrespected by
him, and they were blurring the lines between what was a shoot and what
was a promo...How much…I know you said you didn’t want to work with a
script, but did they give you a rough outline of what you to say? Were
you okay with everything that was said back to you? Because you’re a guy
that did do the things you said; you established a pay scale, you made
it so wrestlers could get paid more than they ever had before. You
brought that credibility and I felt there was so me disrespect there.
How much of that were you okay with and how much of that was actually a
shoot?
Nash: Well the thing was I understood what my job was.
Going in, my job wasn’t to bury a baby face and come across more witty
than he was or anything else. That wasn’t what I was brought in to do.
The old Kevin Nash, would at anyone’s cost, would have gotten over. As
you get older, and your best friend is very much in charge of the day to
day process, and he looks at you and asks you to do something that’s
just kind of like ‘Wow, they’ve really got me hog-tied on this one.”
After question on health:
Nash: CM Punk has on the back of his t-shirt “Best in the World.” Ya
know? And I said to myself, I said to a bunch of other people ya know,
his shirt says best in the world. He’s going to have to prove it if he
is going to drag my 52 year old carcass through 14 minutes of a match.
On future of a CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash match:
Chad Dukes: Do you think we’ll get that match with you and Punk? I
think a lot of people would still like to see that come to fruition even
though he is kind of doing the baby face thing with Hunter right
now…You think we’ll ever see that match?
