Oh, Kevin.

The man formerly known as Diesel has been the subject of ridicule by wrestling critics for decades now. Whether its his backstage politicking, his lacklustre WWF title run, or his attitude to "vanilla midgets", there's a lot to laugh about when it comes to Big Sexy.

And that's before we even mention a certain muscle in his leg.

The "Kevin Nash's Quads" jokes can be traced back to July 8th 2002. Nash had just delivered one of his trademark Big Boots to Booker T before going to make a hot tag. However, Nash's legs had other ideas, as he somehow managed to tear his quadriceps whilst running across the ring.

Nash collapsed to the floor in a heap whilst the other men in the match had the most awkward brawl in history to try and cover it up.

Nash would miss the rest of 2002 rehabilitating his torn muscle. This wouldn't have been too bad, had Nash not spent most of the first half of the year on the shelf with a bicep injury.

Yes, this eight-man tag was actually Nash's return match after four months away! Couldn't make this stuff up, could you?
