rovert Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Austin and Nash as two old friends bullshitting about a bunch of shit that's not wrestling was hilarious and a pleasure to listen to during my work drive today. Hence why I asked odessasteps why he deleted it. Nash is very well liked in the industry and a very affable and funny guy. I deleted it because while Austin talking about random shit can be very funny at times, I listen to the podcast to hear wrestling talk. (I know you didn't ask me specifically, please don't be really upset and contentious that I answered.) The contention and upset isn't on my end. I asked odessa a simple question about something he chose to post on a discussion board that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Smart? Sure. Well-liked in the business? I guess you didn't read Eddie Guerrero's book. Nash is a selfish piece of shit who abuses his intelligence to tell every different audience what they want to hear. He's actively harmed the business as a whole for the short-term financial gains of himself and his friends. I mean, seriously: booking himself to beat Goldberg, the last real draw WCW had, and then The Fingerpoke Of Doom, for chrissakes. It threw WCW's momentum off a cliff. He was arguably the worst booker that WCW ever had. WCW being stupid enough to go with it isn't Nash's problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was arguably the worst booker that WCW ever had. I never said that he was well liked. I was basically implying that he was in business for himself, but why shouldn't he be? He is his own business. I've read a lot about him over the years that suggests that he's concerned with the money he can make first and foremost. You cannot fault a guy for maximizing his earnings. Am I a big fan of the guy? Not at all, but he was smart enough to take advantage of situations that were favorable to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about the present day. Modern wrestlers love him and speak very highly of him. JBL was a bully asshole ten years ago he isn't now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dank Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 There's nothing wrong with admiring Nash for making the most amount of money possible while doing the least, while also acknowledging his often shitty booking ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think it can be summed up, Kevin Nash, fun on a podcast, very likely bad for the industry when working in it (I would agree that he is), probably charming revisionist of some events... Vince Russo, not fun on a podcast, very likely bad for the industry when working in it (I would agree that he is), not very charming revisionist of some events....

Buy Me a Burrito Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I just don't understand the Nash hate. Even if he's the person that did all of the horrible shit you folks said that he did, he didn't rape a puppy or anything. He's just a dumb, drunk rassler. That's the sort of shit DVDVR used to eat up. Take that smark rage shit over to Scott Keith's blog. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 but, would Kevin Nash be a good enough guest to have a good interview on the Ross Report. Or would Kevin Nash get sucked into talking about the lack of selling and rules in modern wrestling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Steve Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I liked the Nash podcast, but must observe that when your point of comparison is Vince Russo, the bar has been set pretty low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Kevin Nash as a businessman is free to do whatever he likes. Me as a consumer that's paid for events that featured Nash being an amazingly lazy piece of shit thinks Kevin Nash can go fuck himself. And I've never heard him admit to his mistakes before. I've heard him make excuses where his timeline conveniently skips large portions of time. He just chuckles through his bullshit so people think he's charming whereas Russo screams and pounds his fist, bro. They're both obnoxious and full of shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Kevin Nash blocked me on Twitter for some reason. But he was probably drinking wine while he did it and I didn't really flame him or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Jeez enough already. You can like or not like Kevin Nash and want to hear what he has to say or not want to hear what he has to say. All are valid opinions, and not really subject to others' say-so.
