10 Things We Learned From Kevin Nash On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast
8. The Undertaker’s Warning
Nash would never claim to be the best worker out there. In fact, during his first year in the WWF, he went along with several ideas that he probably shouldn't have. At one stage, the veteran Bob Backlund instructed Kev to perform a sunset split spot during their matches every night.
That caught serious heat with someone very important.
The Undertaker cornered 'Big Daddy Cool' backstage one night and pushed him up against a nearby wall. Furious, 'Taker explained that he never wanted to see Kevin hit a sunset flip ever again. "If I ever see that again, I'm hitting the ring", he said.
Nash knew better than to go against The Undertaker's word. 'The Deadman' was already an authority behind the curtain in the company, and his opinion meant more than Backlund's. Plus, Nash knew deep down that he was absolutely right. He shouldn't have been flipping over Bob during their matches anyway.
