10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Kevin Nash

7. He Worked For TNA Wrestling And Left Them Prior To 2011 WWE Return

When Kevin Nash's WWE run ended in early 2004 he headed to TNA Wrestling. Like a lot of former WWE stars, Nash was a big fish in the small pond that is TNA that was a part of some major angles like the Main Event Mafia stable. Nash's run in TNA ended in late 2010 when his contract ran out and it looked like he was ready to move on with his career. In January 2011 there were reports that he had re-signed with TNA. Then WWE's Royal Rumble took place, that familiar Diesel truck sound played and "Big Daddy Cool" was back in WWE as a surprise entrant in the Rumble match. According to reports at the time, Nash had a TNA deal signed in the middle of January. After the deal was signed, he asked TNA President Dixie Carter for her release on the Friday before the Royal Rumble. She granted him the release, which was a puzzling move, and Nash showed up as a surprise entrant. He ended up a part of some angles later that year, but Nash's contract with WWE was a Legend's Contract that will likely see him as a part of WWE for many years to come. You won't hear WWE ever mention TNA or the story about how Nash worked there for so many years.
