rovert Posted September 17, 2014 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.
Tromatagon Posted September 17, 2014 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

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.

Nash is a selfish piece of shit who abuses his intelligence to tell every different audience what they want to hear. Who cares about 1997? Eddie was no saint either. 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
Dank Posted September 17, 2014 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.
Rev Ray Posted September 17, 2014 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 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
Cobra Commander Posted September 17, 2014 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?
LP Steve Posted September 17, 2014 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
BEN! Posted September 17, 2014 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
mattdangerously Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Terry Funk does not speak highly of Kevin Nash. That's pretty much all I need to know.
Cobra Commander Posted September 18, 2014 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
Casey Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Anything bad Nash did was erased from history when he did the Paparazzi Productions stuff with Alex Shelley. 3
DMN Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Smart? Sure. Well-liked in the business? I guess you didn't read Eddie Guerrero's book.

He was arguably the worst booker that WCW ever had. I'm pretty sure that using your intelligence to accomplish your goals isn't abusing it. Telling people what they want to hear is a sad fact of life.
Casey Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 lest we forget this is an entire industry built on lies and bullshitting.
Cristobal Posted September 18, 2014 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.
TerjeRUN Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 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 I love me some Nash, but this is a blinding point actually.
greenbat Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Anybody else think SASU solo shows sound like the Kenny Powers audio book?

rovert Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 This week's episode has an overly elaborate story that explains a cut on the back of Kristin's head. Steve back to old tricks again?
Dank Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Yes he's beating his wife and talking about it on his podcast, you dope. 5
rovert Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Yes he's beating his wife and talking about it on his podcast, you dope. That's isn't what I said. Did you listen to the show?
bink_winkleman Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I did, and it was pretty terrible. And his Lochness Monster stuff is Jericho levels of horrible.
Hoarr Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I cannot believe that. *GONK GONK GONK GONK* *Starts scatting Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend"* 2
george young Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 The pod of thunder, and rock and roll. The spell you're under, something something Chris Jericho. 1
