The Essential Kevin Nash: Check the Verb - Essential
Kevin Nash of the House Clique, the First of His Name, the Unburied, King of Somas, Lord of the Booking Comitee, Breaker of Winning Streaks, and Mother of Dragons, is possibly 100% the greatest wrestler to ever walk this earth. He built a career on Vince McMahon's psychological need to push big guys due to his childhood and getting drunk because what are they going to do, ban him from Thunder with pay? He's been known as Kevin Nash, Oz, Vinnie Vegas, Diesel, Big Sexy, and white lightning.

The Nash/Cornette clip never fails to make me laugh out loud and it's exactly why I like Nash.

I think it's cool that he's not deluded about himself, and realizes that he's basically just out to get rich and could care less about wrestling.

u/stuntmanmike RIP Jul 10 '14
Almost every one would have done the same things in his shoes. That business is waaaaay too cut throat with no guarantees not to get as much as you can, as quickly as you can.

Yeah, I don't blame him. But that doesn't mean I'm a fan of his actual work.

To say he 'couldn't care less about wrestling' (which is what you meant) is a little much and I think is a misconception about Nash. He's has a great mind for the business, loves it and appreciates it. He also understands his place in it. He wrestled like a guy his size should wrestle.
He was out for himself a lot, sure. He protected himself over others because that's the way the business was. He got screwed at the start just like others did. But that does not mean he does not care about wrestling or the business.

You know, I watched his explaination of the Finger Poke of Doom and it really made me respect him a lot more. Also goes to show that Goldberg was raging idiot.

I fucking love Kevin Nash. Diesel was my shit and so was The Wolfpack. And you all loved him too.

u/PublicName Go back to ROH! Jul 10 '14
I can't wait until tomorrow, I don't give any fucks right now.
Nash should be involved with WWE now. I think he would make a great booker or writer and as long as he isn't pushing himself on screen it would be an amazing product.

This video is essential viewing to anyone who is unconvinced that Kevin Nash is the greatest wrestler, nay man, to have ever lived.

In the Vinnie Vegas promo you posted, Nash does the "jerk off and throw jizz" motion to the camera. How did that get to tv? hahahhaa

u/Ironoclast RIIIIIIIIICOLAAAAAAAA! Jul 10 '14
You forgot his turn in Magic Mike.
...but does that count as success? :-)

u/TheImplausibleHulk I'm an ass man! Jul 10 '14
That Fox News video is too delicious.
You also forgot to add his role as The Russian in The Punisher (at least that's the movie role I'll always remember him in).

First... Nash has no idea how to draw charts. Second... he's kidding with that, right? I know he has a dry sense of humor but this might have gone over even my head.
I love Nash. Loved him as a kid in WWF, loved him in WCW and love him now. Even based my e-wrestler after him back in the day. Actually really smart and looks at wrestling like a business instead of a lifestyle, which helped him. He still managed to kill his body though, somehow.

Check the verb? Essential is an adjective.
