10 Reasons Kevin Nash Deserves To Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame
4. He Is A 5-Time WCW World Heavyweight Champion And 9-Time WCW World Tag Team Champion
Booker T has made a Hall of Fame career out of boasting his five WCW World Championship reigns. Kevin Nash did it because he could. Lets talk about wrestling like its real for a second, shall we? When Big Sexy walked into WCW alongside Scott Hall in June of 96 and formed The Outsiders, they set their sights on the WCW World Tag Team Championship. By the time October rolled around, they got their act together, eased up on the gang warfare that made the nWo popular, and took the titles from seven-time champions Harlem Heat. Who walks into a promotion and just beats their seven-time Tag Team Champions? Now clearly the more prestigious accomplishment is winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. As we discussed earlier, he ended Goldbergs streak to capture his first. His second was a hard-fought victory over DDP. He awarded himself the title for a third time in 2000 which, admittedly, wasnt very cool. On an episode of Thursday Thunder later that year, he took it from Jeff Jarrett in a Triple Threat Match involving Scott Steiner. A few months later his fifth and final reign came after beating the aforementioned Booker T. So exactly how is one man in the Hall of Fame and not the other?
