Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 How come nobody bashes Kevin Nash? He's been horrible in the ring since he signed his WWF contract and he has been out for a long time. Vince McMahon's comment about Nash's productivity didn't seem like it was a shoot comment, but it damn well could have been. Nash hasn't done shit and he gets a mysterious injury in the gym that causes him to be sidelined. If you remember when Kevin Nash was in negotiations with the WWF, one of the reasons why he didn't sign immediately is because he didn't want to work alot of house shows. Right now, Kevin Nash is stealing a check. He can't do anything in the ring, and all he does is talk (which he does less of now that Michaels is back). NWO? You're damn right Nash wasn't happy with the way it was being portrayed! He's the only NWO guy left. Scott Hall? He's gone. Hogan? He's taking a victory lap around Titan Towers while going over people who he shouldn't be able to beat cleanly. It seems like the NWO was kept around just so Kevin Nash has something to do. They added the Big Show, (a fat guy who hasn't been over since 1999 and portions of 2000) X-Pac (a guy who nobody would even mistake as a big time player) and Shawn Michaels (a cripple). I have the sinking feeling that Booker T will be the sacrificial lamb that is presented to the NWO because they have never been a threat to anything since they debuted in the WWF. I could be dead wrong, but I can imagine the bitching that will go on when Booker T is supposed to go over the NWO.
Guest AM The Kid Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I'm a Nash mark...who knows why, he just rules.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Maybe you like him because he's a lazy bastard who manages to get paid to do nothing.
Guest Shadow Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I too am a Kevin Nash mark, but then again I'm a mark for the whole Clique, so that probably explains it. I never got all the crticisms on his ring work- not everyone can be Chris Benoit, but as far as big mans go, Nash isn't horribly offensive in the ring or anything. And he is very good on the microphone, which seems to be more important in the WeeWee these days. Plus, he's over. I don't care what you say, you can't take away all the cheers he (and Micheals, for that matter) gets. People just love this guy, nothing we can really do about it.
Guest Downhome Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I thought the question should be why do people bitch at him so much, I never hear anyong saying GOOD things about him, only bad. Also, by the way... ...Calvin & Hobes kicks all ass.
Guest Downhome Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I'd also like to annouce that I love Kevin Nash and always have ever since Diesel (I didn't see TOO much of him in WCW). I don't look at him as he is slow or whatnot. I have always thought of him as a methodical, take you apart, kind of guy. When he does a move, for the most part, it looks realistic, etc...
Guest saturnmark4life Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I don't hate him because he's so bad it's funny. I can't help but laugh at that moron. I suppose i'm really laughing at the fact that some idiot actually HIRED him. I loved diesel, but then i was 10. I also loved crush.
Guest AM The Kid Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 From Have A Nice Day by Mick Foley: "Actually, it was a proformance just like that one that changed Kevin Nash's career. Nash took a look at Jake[the snake] no-selling some punches, turned to me, and said, 'I know one thing, if Jake can get away with doing that with those skinny legs and that pot belly, then I sure as hell can do it too.' Nash's improvement was immediate."
Guest Nezbyte Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Nash is great, i've been trying to get my hair like that for YEARS! It's almost the same length but i cant afford all that conditionar. Fucker has muscles too.
Guest AM The Kid Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Oh, and he has esspecially nice hair.
Guest Austin3164life Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Umm Nash sucks......and....yeah he sucks
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Some guys get maligned, but it seems like Nash manages to get off scott free. Triple H might go over 10 guys at once, but Nash will be have unspecified injuries that keep him out of action. He will come on tv and talk for a little bit and get paid. Anyone who thinks they are getting anything by signing Nash is in for a surprise. The guy gets paid to do nothing and he always manages to be at the top.
Guest Prince Paul Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Oh that Nash. He has such a great moveset! Actually, back in the Diesel days, I liked him for a little. But since his match with Goldberg and the fingerpoke of DOOM, he really hasn't done anything. Kind of funny in the NBT, with that Mars Attacks bleating and all. He hasn't done ANYTHING in the WWE to justify him getting paid over 20,000.00
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 That's why I don't get why everyone tiptoes around like the guy's shit doesn't stink. Everyone spends so much energy bashing the same guys, but Nash goes unnoticed. I will be one pissed off motherfucker if Booker doesn't go over the NWO. Nash and Michaels aren't shit right now, and I am willing to bet that they will protest putting Booker T over. Shawn Michaels is the guy who wanted to go over Austin at Wrestlemania 14!!!!! For crying out loud!! If he didn't want to put over Austin at the height of his popularity, I shudder at the thought of what could happen to Booker T. He hasn't amassed a great number of victories and he better get some soon if they want him to start making them money. I watch RAW to see Booker T and that's pretty much it. If Booker T gets buried by the Clique, I'm done with wrestling until they are gone from it.
Guest raptor Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 When Nash is motivated, he's great. He's got good mike skills and has shown that he *DOES* have wrestling talent. He just hasn't used it in a long time. Maybe the fact that he's not the "top political dog" anymore will force him to wrestle again.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Are you kidding me? He's getting paid to do nothing! What did he do on RAW? Talk about headlining Wrestlemanias and yell at the Big Show? He's stealing checks!
Guest cabbageboy Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 To clear it up: Nash sucks but he is awesome. As in he is awful in the ring anymore but yet he is still likable.
Guest Incandenza Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Nash sucks. Period. You happy, pinnacle?
Guest RetroRob215 Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I feel indifferent towards him. He sucks in the ring, but he's a funny guy, so....whatever.
Guest Prince Paul Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 I feel indifferent towards him. He sucks in the ring, but he's a funny guy, so....whatever. I can understand Pinnacles dilemma. Sure he is a funny guy, but so is Goldust. So should Goldust get paid the amount Nash does, just because he's funny? Shit, Dustin's a better worker than Kevin as well,so Goldusts check shouldbe way more than Nash's, right?

Shit, Dustin's a better worker than Kevin as well,so Goldusts check shouldbe way more than Nash's, right? Was Golddust a WORLD champion in multiple federations? I rest my point. Note: it doesnt matter WHY he was the champ, the fact remains.
Guest Prince Paul Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Was Golddust a WORLD champion in multiple federations? I rest my point. Note: it doesnt matter WHY he was the champ, the fact remains. Of course it matters. It's called right place at the right time. Vince needed another Hogan and he saw it in Nash. Second time, Nash BOOKED himself into winning the title. Now I'm SURE Dustin could have been champ of WCW if he had the book.
Guest mach7 Posted June 30, 2002 Report Posted June 30, 2002 Hogan? He's taking a victory lap around Titan Towers while going over people who he shouldn't be able to beat cleanly. Um, WTF are you on? Hogan just TAPPED to Angle's anklelock, cleanly. He's been doing jobs left, right & center.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 In hindsight, bringing the NWO was a poor business decision. It seems like their services were acquired just so that they couldn't contribute elsewhere. If I owned a wrestling promotion, I would rather have Nash in a different promotion stealing money and playing political games because he's not going to do shit for the company. How do you justify paying Kevin Nash the amount of money that he receives? He's still eating from being in the NWO, which in my eyes and the eyes of the viewers who have stopped watching the WWF means jack shit. I realize that the roster split basically makes Nash a main eventer on RAW, but the split has only been taken into consideration at times convenient for the writers. His talk about Main Eventing Wrestlemanias doesn't mean shit to me. He didn't draw when he was at the top of the WWF foodchain, but he wants to make it known that he was at the top of the foodchain. Let's just conveniently forget the fact that he didn't necessarily get there through his own merit. Let's also toss aside the fact that the same people headline the shows year after year and seemingly always will. The fact that he was one of the lucky few doesn't mean he is any less worthless. His ass was done a favor and now he's going to toss that shit in people's faces so that they accept him as a big name? Shit, I guess Sid could do the same damn thing. Let's wait for a big Lawrence Taylor comeback because he headlined too! Nash is in the company of wrestling legends! Give me a damn break already.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 Hogan beat Triple H for the damn title! I guess he really needed to put the Undertaker over so that the Undertaker could go on his reign of terror.

Now I'm SURE Dustin could have been champ of WCW if he had the book. Alot of people book themselves as champ. DDP, Flair, Nash. Just cause they book it doesnt mean it will be BAD, y'know. I, personally, i know i dont speak for ANYONE else, see/saw Nash as a more belivable champ than Golddust would be.

Flair is a great wrestler, no problems booking him as champ. Nash booked himself OVER Goldberg, Nash ended the streak. Many feel this was the beginning of the end in WCW. I know the outcome won't always be bad, but face it, the outcome of Nash booking himself the title WAS bad.
Guest Respect The 'Taker Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 How come nobody bashes Kevin Nash? He's been horrible in the ring since he signed his WWF contract and he has been out for a long time Just to play devil's advocate... Kevin Nash has only had ONE singles match since signing with the WWF/E/X/C/T/Whatever. Surely you cannot judge a man's worth on one singles outing, can you? I mark out for the big dudes like Kane, Taker ( SURPRISE! ) and Nash though...and i don't feel the need to bash him because he is one of few remaining guys that make me feel like i did when i originally got into wrestling. He rules for his charisma, if anything. You can send all your hate mate to.. [email protected] This has been the Taker Mark
Guest Prince Paul Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 You can send all your hate mate to.. [email protected] Can I get an e-mail address there too?
Guest Will Scarlet Posted July 1, 2002 Report Posted July 1, 2002 I just find Nash funny, well, not funny in a promo sense, but, in a "they are paying this guy how much money to do THAT?" sense. Like the week Flair suspended him, so he comes out of the bathroom, and Flair is like, "You're suspended!" and he is like, "I'm going. Bye." Or the week that Flair turned heel, Nash shows up in a limo. That is all he does on the show, and I find it hilarious. Sure, it kind of sucks that the WWE is paying this guy a ton of money to do so little, but I get entertained by how they use him.
