10 Reasons Kevin Nash Deserves To Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame
5. Over Twenty Years Of Relevance
Kevin Nash made his professional wrestling debut in 1990 as one half of a tag team called The Master Blasters. For the next three years he did everything from wear a wizard mask to the ring under the persona of Oz to throwing on a North Jersey accent as the card-shark Vinnie Vegas. None of it was hitting. Once recruited to the WWF by Shawn Michaels, Nashs stock went through the roof and the rest is history. His first WWF appearance took place in 1993. Up until his recent arrest, he was scheduled to be on next weeks episode of Raw. Friend of Triple H or not, that kind of thing doesnt happen if you are irrelevant. The Game is smart enough to know when someone is worth having on television. You could say Kevin Nashs prime was probably from 1995 to 1999. He had a solid four-year run between WWF and WCW. Some wrestlers would hang their hat on that and call it a day. Not Nash. After the demise of WCW in 2001, Nash returned for a brief run in New York before injuries started catching up with him. Since then, he has been able to keep himself in shape and know his limitations. The proof is in his August of 2011 farewell run and surprise appearance at last years Royal Rumble at 54 years old.
