10 Reasons Why You Need To Respect Kevin Nash

8. His Shoot Interviews

Extremely good value with a cheap camera in the corner, a glass of wine in his hand and a microphone in his face, Kevin Nash has proven one of the few continuously entertaining shoot interviewees in an era of weekly kayfabe-smashing podcasts featuring just about anybody to ever take a bump.

The subject of multiple long-form chats with every major player in the genre, Nash's mostly clear (if a little selective) memory has provided fans countless tales and tidbits over the years, ranging from the challenges of booking WCW during the farcical era of guaranteed money, standards & practices, and creative control, to little anecdotes of who-did-what-to-who during the infamous party scenes within both major organisations during the mid-1990s.

An affable and humorous speaker, Nash is always an engaging listen, particularly when kept to a format in the excellent 'Timeline' series from Kayfabe Commentaries, which takes the viewer month-by-month through a calendar year best suited to their guest.

His journeys through 1995 WWE and 1997 WCW are captivating viewing, as the informative prods from presenter Sean Oliver generate a host of forgotten gems buried in streams of consciousness from 'Big Daddy Cool'.
