Nash vs. Piper when he also wouldn't sell for him and then tried to pick a fight with him." Was the Heart Attack deal at Starcade 97? Not wanting to job to the Giant? What was the deal with Funk?, I wasn't really watching WCW back then Ditto for Piper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 If I recall correctly, the Giant had just learnt how to perform a moonsault and Nash was too scared to be on the receiving end of such a move, which sucks because I'd have loved to see Paul Wight hit that before his decline to obesity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 The heart attack incident was indeed in reference to the Starrcade PPV, where Nash refused to job to Big Show. Even so, the feud continued without a hitch (the "powerbomb" angle at Souled out), but the fans did feel like they were screwed out of seeing Nash get his come-uppance. Starrcade was built on the notion that WCW would FINALLY get their revenge on the nWo, but after Nash's refusal to job and Hogan's bribery of Nick Patrick behind closed doors, the night ended on a big thud with the fans. IIRC, Bischoff was the only nWo character that jobbed cleanly that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted September 10, 2004 And somehow people like Nash despite being a shitty wrestler, he couldn't draw dick with a boat filled with hookers, and is probably one of the biggest jackoffs in recent history. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because while Patrick always counted kind of slow, that match came off weird because when Hogan pins Sting it seems to be a normal count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, Patrick fudged a fast count, which you can't really do without trying. He later claimed it was an honest mistake, but few buy that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd assume the Funk thing is from Souled Out 2000 (where Benoit won the belt). They had Funk vs Nash for the commish spot, and Nash basically squashed Funk and powerbombed him through two chairs.

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 1. Nash vs. Daniels? When and why? From a UPW card earlier in the year. It was Hall and Nash against Daniels and someone else, and Nash and Hall totally clowned their way through the match, making it clear to all and sundry they considered it a joke. And when Nash did the job to Daniels it was one of the classic 'jobs that isn't a job' deals', that does more harm than good to the person getting the pin.

evilhomer 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 I vaguely recall a promo cut on Funk where he was berating his age and the fact that he can't go in the ring anymore. The irony of Kevin Nash making such a statement was lost on him. He went on saying how he's saved his money so he doesn't have to be like him. Heelish dick comments to make so the argument could be made that it was just in character, but in typical Nash fashion, his comments did nothing to make you want to watch a match and only served to undermine his opponent.
