10 Things We Learned From Kevin Nash On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast
10. He Marked Out For Vince
First, big Kev had a confession.
He recalled telling WCW boss Ole Anderson that he planned to leave the wrestling biz behind and go back to bouncing bars. The company granted Nash his release, meaning he was free to sign for the WWF and start as Shawn Michaels' bodyguard immediately.
Kevin recalled visiting Vince McMahon's house to close the deal, and he didn't mind telling Austin that he pretty much marked out. Vince answered the door in some striking Zubaz and an ICO-PRO vest (because of course he did). Then, he invited Nash in for a chat, and the big guy was loving every single second.
"I'm in Vince McMahon's house", he giggled when recalling this surreal moment. Days earlier, he'd been telling Ole and Barry Windham that he needed to get out of the industry before his wife left him for good. Now, he was standing in Vince's hallway and about to ink a WWF contract.
