10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash

1. He Was A Terrible Draw As WWE Champion

The most important thing that WWE wants you to forget about Kevin Nash is that when he was WWE Champion for most of 1995, the company nearly went bankrupt. Some of the numbers of major shows in 1995 were brutal and just like the champion gets praised when things are successful, they deserve criticism too. In 1995, WrestleMania was down 80,000 buys, SummerSlam was down 95,000 and Survivor Series was down 126,000 buys from the year before. It was Survivor Series 1995 when Nash dropped the WWE Title to Bret Hart. Keep in mind that 1994 wasn't that great of a year either, so it just shows how bad business was with Nash on top. The TV ratings for Raw weren't good either. Nash has often tried to defend himself by saying that things weren't bad as they seem, but the numbers back up the idea that he was in fact one of the worst drawing WWE Champions in the history of the company. The question that people have wondered for years is how come Nash stayed champion for 358 days as WWE Champion when he wasn't drawing well? Part of the problem was they just didn't have a lot of big names. Bret was there and that's who he lost it to. Undertaker was involved in other stories. They wanted to save Shawn until WrestleMania 12 in 1996. They just didn't have a lot of options. When Kevin Nash gets inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame in 2015 or some year soon after that, you probably won't hear any discussion about how poorly WWE business was with him as the top guy. That's clearly something WWE wants us to forget. ---- That's it for this week's things WWE wants us to forget series.
