10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash

Why wasn't Nash wrestling at WrestleMania 18 and how did his injury help HBK?

Kevin Nash is one of the most well known big man wrestlers in the history of American wrestler. He had a short career in WCW in the early 1990s before moving on to WWE as a bodyguard of Shawn Michaels named Diesel. Within a couple of years he was a top guy in WWE after winning the WWE Title from Bob Backlund on November 26, 1994 in eight seconds. His original WWE career ended in May of 1996 due to a lucrative contract that he signed with World Championship Wrestling. It was a game changer because he was part of the New World Order stable that was booked to make it look like they were WWE guys there to legitimately take over WCW. He became a key performer in WCW until the company died in March of 2002. With WCW out of the picture, WWE brought back Nash along with Hulk Hogan & Scott Hall (his NWO brothers) in 2002. It would have been a bigger deal if they returned in 2001 as part of the WCW Invasion angle, but they all had contracts with WCW that continued until WWE decided to bring them in. His return lasted for a couple of years. He was gone for a while until his return as a surprise entrant in the 2011 Royal Rumble as Diesel, which provided him with one of the greatest ovations of his career. Nash will probably be in the WWE Hall of Fame in either 2015 or very soon after that. Since his good buddy Scott Hall went in as Razor Ramon in 2014 the expectation is that Nash's time is soon. He's already on a WWE Legend's Contract and appears at WWE events from time to time, so it seems like a sure thing. It's just a matter of when. He recently said he won't go in the Hall of Fame as Diesel in the same way that Hall went in as Razor, so we'll see what WWE does with that situation when it gets here. It's time to take a look at some of the things that WWE wants you to forget about Kevin Nash. These are things that aren't mentioned when talking about his career. Some are storyline related. Other things are behind the scenes stuff. It's also only WWE stuff just as the title suggests, so anything that happened in WCW or elsewhere won't be the focus. Here's a look at ten things WWE wants you to forget about the man that was known as "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, but is better known as "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash.
