10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash

9. His Issues With Jean-Pierre Lafitte Led To Lafitte's Release

Carl Ouellet was a WWE performer in the mid 1990s that was a part of the Quebecers tag team with Jacques Rougeau with Carl going by the name Pierre. He also wrestled as Jean-Pierre Lafitte when he was a singles wrestler that resembled a pirate. Back in 1995 when Nash was the WWE Champion as Diesel he had some issues with Lafitte that ultimately led to Lafitte getting fired. They were supposed to have a match in Montreal ending in a countout so that they could do a rematch down the road, but Nash and friends in the Kliq changed the finish so Nash could go over. That didn't make Lafitte happy. Here's how he explained it: "Kevin Nash was having a big run and was being cocky about it. I didn€™t like the fact that Nash came up to me and said, €˜next month in Montreal in your hometown, you€™re going down with the jackknife,€™ and things like that. It got under my skin, and it was a scratch kinda fight and we brought it into the ring. That€™s what happened, and it escalated into a real fight in the ring and it was just crazy, crazy and hard to deal with." Shortly after that 1995 match in Montreal, Lafitte was gone from WWE. They ended up working a match in Montreal in 2009 based off their real life heat (obviously it's cooled down), but that still doesn't take away from the fact that Nash's actions got him fired.
