10 Things We Learned From Kevin Nash On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast
6. His WrestleMania XII Rib
Imagine ripping the p*ss out of WWE at WrestleMania.
Kevin Nash doesn't need to imagine it, 'cause he lived it. The then-Diesel took The Undertaker's Tombstone finish, willingly did the J.O.B then...refused to leave the ring for almost 10 agonising (at least to WWF staff) minutes. This, ladies and gents, was Kev's way of having some fun on the way out.
He'd already given his notice to the promotion before 'Mania, so he figured that they'd be powerless to do anything about this pay-per-view rib. Officials kept yelling at Nash to haul ass off the canvas and go backstage, but he wouldn't do it; look closely, he says, and you'll see him pass Roddy Piper and Goldust at Gorilla.
This mini-protest wasn't designed to ruin the show though. Nah, Nash was only having a laugh and secretly knew nobody could do a damn thing about it before he left for WCW. He didn't go into detail on McMahon's reaction, which is a shame.
